Thats a good thing if he does take a peek. I am happy to give full and frank details if requested.
Have spoken to his brother up at preston, and he was a decent chap as were all the guys up there. I bought a new CBR600RR from neil in preston, got a reasonable deal from him and could have easily bought new elsewhere and saved a few quid, but what swung it was his honesty and willingness to to a deal as best as he could.
To many dealers will try and take your money and lose interest after you have ridden away. Neil was nothing but helpfull when we found a problem with a damaged panel from crate damage and did everything he could to resolve the problem.

It's all to easy to put people and dealers down, but credit where credits due they have got it spot on in Honda preston and i would buy my next new honda from them without issue. However i also run an ageing 1995 916, and years ago parts and help and advice were not a problem in manchester, but nowadays you almost feel looked down upon because its not the latest ducati and why would i want to keep the old thing on the road. I understand parts for the old 916 are getting hard to come by and hence the wait for some stuff, but waiting for valves for months when other dealers had stock was a pain, then when supplied i got 2 pairs of inlets so back to square one. Not stocking air filters for a 916 - twice !!! these are the same as most others. A speedo cable which had no thread at the end it fits to the speedo drive (thats going back tommorow - hope i get jobsworth again). i would go on but you get the idea.
I hope things get sorted out in there, the lads in the workshop are good and if you can catch them are always friendly and helpfull.
