Which tyre dealer?
Not surprised to hear it's a warped disc but 6000 miles for rear brake pads is quite surprising, maybe you've been riding the brake accidentally.
Airhead-
True dat. Order one up from a breakers or something and just fit it yourself, shouldn't be too expensive. I actually do use the rear brake a decent amount...steadies the ship a bit into corners and even coming out of them if you're making progress. Didn't use it at all on the track though some do. Paddock stands are a great investment - they pay for themselves v quickly.
I'm currently trying to learn not to ride it on my dirt bikes which is more difficult that it sounds when you're wearing MX boots and hanging on with your legs for grim death....

farking hell arrggghhhh, the f-ing geezer that fitted my tyres the other week whacked up the torque and way overtightened the chain - so now dealer says it's fucked the rear sprocket, need new chain, and I need a new rear disc because pads replaced recently were pretty much down to metal, and scored the disc, and it's warped - what the fuck? - fucking bike is costing me a fortune, it's only done 6,000 miles......
