I've only just seen this thread, been away for a couple of weeks. but just wanted to say thanks for all the lovely things people have been saying. For those that don't know, i'm Alex; full time mechanic there.
The Dave Yates isn't for sale (at the moment). I keep thinking about selling it, but then i ride it again and remember why it's so great...but then, if someone made the right offer....?!
So yes, thanks again. And yes, the website/blog thing is crap admittedly, we need to get on top of that. And yes, come 4pm on a friday we get some drinks in...although it's purely just to make the customers feel like they're in a relaxed environment, not for our pleasure of course.
If you do pop in, remember to say hi...Dales description of me was pretty apt to be fair..."bike mechanic, goofy teeth and tatts". Nuff said.
