Bad luck. It's just a matter of practice, and that will overcome any test nerves. Don't get down, it's better to make the mistakes at mod 1 than later in heavy traffic. Keep going.
A few months ago I was searching for an independant mechanic in the chester area to do restoration on a bike I was buying. I found on this forum mention of Nigel Rowe Motorcycles and gave him a call. A few days later I delivered him a complete basket-case of a PC800. There wasn't a rush with the job as I had only just started my DAS with Camrider in chester. Four weeks later (having finished my DAS) I went to collect the bike. When I saw it I thought he'd binned mine and stolen one from a showroom. It is absolutely mint. I rode it 200 miles home and its fantastic. Nigel Rowe is a great guy and obviously a very talented mechanic - and his prices are great. 20130928_133127
