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!

From Hull, you can catch a ferry to somewhere decent such as Rotterdam etc!!!

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?

[warlord385]

i just saw hein gericke sells those cool lookin arlen ness boots!!! we don't get those in the states. Thats a nifty item to bring back! all my riding friends will drool over those boots!!! LOL

[EvO]

Yamaha dealer can sell you the covers.

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

[warlord385]
