One that did need doing was sorted yesterday – getting the bike serviced. In 2006 I bought the bike from Warrs in Chelsea on the west side of London and since then I have built a relationship with them that means I have used them ever since for all work on my Road King. I like the personal touch I get there – when I walk in they greet me with a “Hi Gary”. They are polite, friendly and knowledgable. Just what a customer wants and needs.
While they were still booking the bike in, the technician was collecting the keys and getting the bike up on the ramp. 5 minutes after I rode the bike into the dealership, the service had already started! I asked permission, then popped into the workshop and snapped a couple of pictures of my bike being worked on....


I spent the day in London and returned to Warrs at 3pm to find my bike not only fnished, but cleaned as well. Great job guys! Here is a link to the Warrs website

Really looking forward to your tour, enabling us to participate virtually. We know the bike (Road King), we know the photographic equipment (GoPro Hero), I would be interested about your communication gear, PC/phone/ISP etc. Maybe a post for a rainy day, of which I hope you have very very few.

Better service then I received today. I scheduled my appointment more then 38 days ago. I was the first cycle in the shop to sign in my bike. After seven hours of waiting I called the shop to ask if I could pick the bike up and they told me that it did not even get on the lift as of yet. This is the same Harley Davidson Dealership that I purchased the bike from as well. Heck, I will be lucky to get my ride back tomorrow. It's very aggravating. Currently I am looking for a new place to service my Harley.
Axel – I will write such a post soon. I enjoyed your posting about the ride out to Bosham.
Rob – Sorry to hear that. Was that at a dealership in New York or somewhere on the road? I guess I am lucky with Warrs in London, as they have always been terrific for me.
