(Shame) John Riley motorcycles - Crayford

John Riley motorcycles - Crayford

Phoned them last friday to see about getting a rear tyre put onto my bike (already have tyre), as they are just up the road. Was told to bring it down any time.

So i turn up bright and early and go into see the guys who were just standing around. I said that i called the day before about getting my tyre swapped over.

The guy said “lets have a look”, which i thought was a bit strange! He comes out to look at my bike (Buell - belt drive) then theres some sucking of teeth and a “ow, you will have to leave it with me and i might be able to squeeze it in later”.

I have a distinct feeling he didnt know how to take the wheel off and didnt want me standing around while he did it

Needless to say i didnt leave the bike there!

Used John Rileys a couple of times and I dont anymore - always seems that the smallest job is a big deal to them and they oooh and ahhh about everything.

I use D&H now in Dartford, much better and my bike always comes back running like new
