Unexpected invitation
 
After posting about the seats yesterday I got a notification of a pm.
Clicked on the pm and it was an invitation to pop round for a brew after I picked the seats up.
From whom.....the Oracle himself , brian.

Prior to this I had only dealt with the man on one occasion when he offered to repair a pcb from my bike , free of charge , just postage.

So after a 3 hour drive , met the man himself and Alfie, had a brew and a chat and you could tell he was disappointed that I hadn't arrived in the zt (exhaust issue last night) as he was willing to fit the seats there and then.

Never fear Brian, I will be back up at the end of April for a health check , a remap and a new key.

So thanks for the invite brew , biccies and chat.
It's always good to meet someone face to face and I'm glad I did.

Stan

Ps , don't forget to start moving them bricks

He most definitely did along with quite a few woofs, but soon went quiet after the 2nd treat.
If only brian was that easy to please

If these seats came from Brian then they wasn’t overpriced as I previously said, they will be spot on, I thought they was off some random person who was selling them, nice seats

The seats weren’t from Brian but from another forum member that lives not too far away Mick.
