It's that time of year again and Steptoe will be up in the area with his magic spanner and box of tricks on Saturday 13th November. The usual venue is:

C&D Autoservices
Unit 2A The Halt, Bird Business Park
Long Marston, Nr Stratford upon Avon
Warwickshire CV378RP


Neil will do basic service work, fluid changes, valve clearances, balancing etc etc but unfortunately can't do any major work as time is limited. All beemers welcome for a winter fettling and he'll even remember his 1200 filter tool this time:augie If you are having valve clearances done, please be a little early so your engine has time to cool properly. I imagine the November weather will help there.

Please can you bring your own oil, filters, spark plugs etc as it saves Neil carting loads of stuff up with him. Remember Neil sells a lot of bits and pieces like brake pads through his shop at www.gsshop.co.uk so if you need those, place an order there.

We'll start at 9 ish and work right through until around 5.

There is a coffee machine on site but no pies or butties locally so bring your own snacks and maybe a few cakes for the workers,

Payment is cash to Steptoe directly and please remember there is a £20 charge per bike for use of the facilities. It's a working truck service repair shop and the money will go toward's the C&D Auto's racing team operated from there www.cdautosracing.co.uk and you'll be doing your bit to help buy a back tyre for next years assault on the Superstock 1000 title!!!

Please let me know who wants to come and want you want doing to your pride and joy:thumb

Would like early time slot :beerjug:
 
C'mon then. You've all been nagging me to get this sorted so lets get some names on the list;

Grim Rider: 1150 tune up
Sgt Bilco: 1100 fuelling issue
Bilco's Brother: Triumph Bonneville :-)
Ed Sears: 1150 tune up
Ed mate: 1100 tune up
Ronnie69: 1100 tune up and oil change
JPR: 25k service on 1200
Oilcan: Oil change and tune up and check surging
Mad Moose: ABS check R1100S Boxer Cup
Abrasion: R1100R service
Markg0vbr: R1100R service and tune up
 
Would Mr Eptoe do a 25k service on a 1200 GS.?
If so, Im in.
And by the way,which oil should I bring.?
:eek::eek::eek:
 
Can I get in for an oil service please (what oil do I need to bring please?) and a look at the surging issue I'm getting. 1100gs

Get a good quality 10/40 semi synthetic. Doesn't have to be bike specific to be honest. If you are passing Drakes Broughton, bikesr world sell a good semi synthetic for V twins which is as good as you'll need:thumb
 
We can also do tyres if you need them. You supply them and we'll fit and balance them up nicely or should I say, Mad Moose will do the honours.:thumb

How does a tenner a tyre sound with proceeds to the race team?
 
All, I'm going to have to change this to the weekend after if that's OK. A few things hae conspired against us for the original one so hope no one is put out.

So, the new date is Saturday 13th November:thumb

new dates cool with me also put me down for abs check
 
Now on the Welland weekend.
Will we be seeing St eptoe on Saturday evening? :)
 
What a shame, booked a weekend away for her Birthday, could move the venue but doubt it would be popular.

Would love to have checked to see what main dealer had skimped on with the bike I am picking up this Saturday - Just Serviced.....or maybe just had a tyre kick?
 
Sorry, but will have to cancel my slot on 13th, work!

First in queue next time though for sure.
 
Event Postponed

Guys

We've unfortunately had a few too many drop outs to make it worthwhile for Steptoe to come up on Saturday. Just one of those things and it's best we postpone the event for now.

We'll re arrange it for another day in the very near future so keep an eye on this thread.......:thumb
 
DROP OUTS.

:nenau:nenau:nenau

Unexpected ,to say the least.
If your planning another(and Iwouldnt blame you if you didnt) what about an upfront,non-refundable deposit?
At least that way Bilco wouldnt be wasting his time and effort,and Steptoe could turn up without being out of pocket.



Oh yeah.
And I wouldnt be pissed off.!

It will be in a couple of weeks. It's no bother for me but Neil has to have a certain number before he ventures into the dark midlands....:eek:
