Err excuse me BA, just because your a 'taker' doesn't make me a 'giver'

Eeerrm...so let me get it right...You dont' give right, so that must mean you DO take...
fookin' bum bandit / Busa bandit ...whatever turns you on Bubba is fine by me. Personally though I think you should be able to take as well as you give.

Should know better than to ask a sensible question DA ! :roll)

Ok DA my Garage takes Â£125- plus parts, and as you know everything here is sold at a very discounted rip-off price I'd say whatever you've been quoted there has to be at least 50% better then here.

Oh OK, sencible answer it is the, I think from memory, the last major service I had on the bb was about Â£250 ish including parts (I think I had the pads done as well)

& was that at a HONDA dealership XXandy??? :?

by **XXAndy** » Fri Nov 28, 2003 1:23 pm

No, I only used the honda dealer once and the service was crap, I have used the same place since (Motografix in Doncaster, inded I bought the Bus from them as well, and they service that) I seem to remember that I thought the Honda dealer service price was way o.t.t.
As a comparison, Motografix charged me Â£20 (yes thats right) for the Busas first service and Â£80 for the 4k service

thanks XXANDY! im just tryin to compare prices here in Poland! the HONDA dealership ive taken it to is charging me 1,200zl which is about 200quid! but thats including all parts & supply& replacement of head races!

Well, its not worth spending any more than that on the fugly humpmobile, in fact at that price, you was ripped off dude :mrgreen:
