Took my Foresight 250 in for a mot, new rear tyre & a mini service last week. I knew it would fail on the rear tyre as it was worn close to the legal limit so I had booked the bike in a week in advance and given the garage the tyre size so they could get one in.
I rode the bike over and they said all the work would be done by 5 o'clock that day. I arrived at the appointed time ( after a horrendous journey on a bus that had arrived 40 minutes late and was full of rowdy school kids ) to be told that the tyre had not come in but they had done the other work and it had passed the mot.
They explained that due to cash flow reasons they dont actually order the tyres til they are needed and the parts guys van had broken down
So I have just spent 3 hours removing the exhaust, rear wheel, getting a new tyre fitted to the loose wheel and putting it all back together again.
It was actually a tougher job than I expected as it's a pattern exhaust and it was a pain lining up all the bolts and doing it all myself in a freezing cold unlit garage
