Here's one.
Customers bike in for a service, immediately spotted something that had us in stitches.
I'm not going to say what it is, I'll wait for someone to spot it first 😉

Not had one for a wee bit.

Told the customer when I picked the bike up (not running)
This hanger was going on my page straight away.
Seemingly made from a bmw m3 body panel 🤣.
Absolutely love it 🥰

Courier turns up yesterday, 10.30am can you fix my brakes.
On inspection I could see both front and rear pads are down to metal.
Yes sir, I can sort that for you.
Customer. OK, I need it for a job at 11am.
Me. Well you would be aswell to bring your scooter back after your delivery.
Customer, but my brakes need repaired!!
Well 🤔 Perhaps you should have gave it some thought beforehand, instead of riding 500 miles, metal on metal, and popped in to get them repaired, instead of 30 mins before your next delivery.

Just in for a flat battery, nothing else 😱

New one in today.
Customer in for tyres to be fitted to cbf125. Mentioned his rear brake wasn't working. I wonder why 🤣
He also mentioned he fell of the bike but couldn't understand what happened.
Think i can see the cause.
Highlights the importance of a locking nut on a Brake plate!
Oh and I think he may also need new cush drive rubbers 😉
Pictures in the comments as i can't post videos and pics on the same post.

This must be one of my favorite scooters so far. Big up to Billy for not giving up, and running, what i can only imagine came from a mad max film.
A faspider!
For the last 2 months this hero has been starting his scooter with a pull cord round the cooling fan.
So many other extras going on its hard to mention them all. The seat held on with a door hinge, switch gear hanging off. The engine taking off before the rest of the scooter. The wonky fuel gauge. To name a few.
But with all this, the scooter runs really well.
He was in yesterday to have a new starter and starter clutch installed. No more pull start action 😥.
Unfortunately I can't post multiple videos or pictures in this one post, so will post everything else in the comments.

Wow 😱 another courier scooter in today. I never knew you could get racing slicks that size. Absolutely ridiculous to let your tyre get to that state.

Standard delivery scooter in, just for the belt and rollers to be done.
Customer very insistent on price, quoted him half an hour and I know if i run over that he will argue about it.
So we have done as instructed and replaced his belt and rollers, and yes they did need done. "Self diagnosed by Customer" Had he asked us to check the scooter beforehand, we could have advised. He may need something a little more than a belt and rollers. As we found out once we opened the engine case.
Not much left of the clutch 😱 and where did the springs go? Not to mention all the other stuff
