Out!
Its Maftin!!
Evenin all, been a while so I'll start with an apology....
Being really busy is a blessing not a hindrance, especially in these testing times. But if I've come across as a bit short of patience the last week or so, it's nothing personal. My mum is in hospital and hasnt been very well, shes stable but still in having tests and it's been hard work running the shop, doing family stuff and not helped by heat etc.... rest assured were on schedule for catch up and should be able to restart booking next week. Massive thanks to the boys at the shop for mucking in, especially Jack who has my back 100% and has no idea how appreciated he is. Also special mention to John at the Shed. John's kept my laughing with his messages and kept checking in on how my mum is, after his post the other night on his page I'll just mirror his comments on Hulls independent motorcycle garages are all about looking after you guys and each other. Again. Much appreciated John. Even got a natter with pete rollo the other day, that was good too. So.... back to the bench and back to the book.

Looking for a tradesman to do some paving for me. I've found 3x2 pavers that are smooth like rear door ones in pic 3. I want the rough ones replacing properly (10x in the "square" and 3/4 along window under barbecue. Ones in pics are 2x2'
Pref need pavers collecting from brandsburton and the job is in Thorngumbald. Quite for full job inc removing old pavers please.
Asap!
Any of my customers do block paving? Have a 3x3m area that is all moving around. Want it sorting 👍
Happy Friday!
Another crazy week at Clarendon.
Some hours knocked in this week to try and keep everyone happy, if we havent got round to you please be sure we havent forgotten, there's just only so many hours in the day and the phone has been on fire. I'm down an MOT man too which doesnt help, big thumbs up to Tim for the early starts and to Jack for some late (10pm) nights.
The social distancing is working, and the weather has been kind also. I'm impressed by how many people have taken the common sense approach to keeping bikes MOTd regardless of govts deferring. I've had 2 calls this week from police regarding bikes stopped on way to us so be aware they are out to "have a word"
Seen a variety of service work, frame alterations. Dodgy tyres, and a "The front fell off" project.
A few people asking about suspension set ups. I'm booked for tomorrow (sat) and going to enjoy the 2 days off. Back to it Tuesday.
Ride safe everyone and Thank you for your continued support.

Hi All!
Wow. What a crazy couple of weeks.....
Please be patient with us, we are doing our very best to get everyone safely on the road, and repaired when required.
We've had a nightmare getting genuine parts recently and cant thank the likes of Spares unlimited and Pitstop for keeping aftermarket stuff flowing.
Miles Kingsport and 5 Ways are now open to us, (restrictions apply obviously) but that means Hull is getting back up to strength with keeping you all safely on the road.
Jack and I are burning the midnight oil to get the back log cleared.
Remember also our views on the deferred MOTs..... if you're using it then we can MOT it regardless.... I've had 4 serious issues last week that if left unchecked another 6 months would definitely have resulted in a dangerous failure, 1 was imminent. Your safety is priority to us.
Ride safe, keep safe. Dont give the haters ammunition.
See ya'll soon.

Well.... I didnt think the address gave open licence to ride anywhere, but many online feel it does. Nothing would make Hulls bike shops happier, but PLEASE be aware, the police are out there and the fines are increasing.
The eyes of the media will be on groups like bikers and how they behave over the next few days.
Ride safe as always, Clarendon are open, but we are already busy, if any of our customers need anything please call to book asap. I will also repeat my advice from last month regarding the deferring of MOT tests.....
IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE IT THEN MOT IT! We see a lot of dangerous defects that if you wheel your bike out the garage this year, eager to get going that you might've missed. Again, the police WILL prosecute if any defects are found.
01482 219999.
John @ The Shed is still MOT'ing and I believe Steve@ A&M is opening saturdays.
GET IT TESTED! BE SAFE.
** Customer of mine who's had a couple of bad deals is looking for a reliable 125 to get to work. Hes a big lad so no scooters. Might suit xr125 or similar.
Preferably a honda or jap at least
Budget of 1400 for right bike max. Anyone help?
Sunny Sunday and a day off!
Been an interesting week as always, suspension set ups, scooters literally glued together with red gasket, a Mcams insurance job, luckily my good friend Tim is ok and back working the frontline already. And a stunning brand new z900 cafe racer popped in for a simple sat nav connector.
Bikes this week have ranged from 7 days old to 40yrs!
As always thanks for your support, both customers and the social media groups that are so important for small businesses to survive.
I'm out on 2 wheels today, unfortunately its pedal power 😔
If I dont have a stroke I'll see you all Monday onwards ❤👍
Stay safe ya'll
Go get some..... OUT!
