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 Stan

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
