You sound WAY too excited to be staying in Manchester and Hull

As far as Manchester goes, I'm sure Evo can give you some hints and tips. I'll give him a call shortly and get him to post up.....not sure he'd see this before the weekend otherwise.

Come to think of it, I'll be around Manchester on Sunday.


Have fun!

Manchester bike shops is a bit vague for me im affraid. I can tell you a load of places in Birmingham. will have alook for you now. I know where a Yamaha Dealer is. Its all mainly websites i think over here now.

you could try Hein Gerrike

manchester shop -

209 bury new road
pegwell drive
manchester
m8 8du


SALE YAMAHA CENTRE

156 CROSS STREET
SALE
CHESHIRE

Tel: 0161 973 5844

There is a Dainese Store in the Centre on Manchester too.

we may get good stuff but we are very over priced. $16k for a new R6.

that helps a lot. I was mainly lookin for performance parts and "gear" Like spyke leathers, we don't get that stuff, or clover leathers, things like that. Like where can i get some passenger peg covers for my 08 r6?

all htat stuff you listed is great!!!

Where can i get some decently priced ohlins shocks? how much are they in the uk?

Yamaha dealer can sell you the covers.

Ohlins shocks are about £600 which is $1200 pricey hey?
