Recommended bike shops that know their way around a TTR250!

OK - I am getting to the end of updating the FAQ and have come across this entry:

 When it all goes wrong!
 If anyone knows of a repair shop that has particular expertise with TTR engines please e-mail me with details.
 In the UK, the Yamaha Technical Hotline number is 01932 358 065 - very helpful apparently!
 Thanks to Terry Oram for the following: "There is a small company called Vernon Motorcycles in Havant, Portsmouth. They sell and repair all sorts of bikes mostly imports, and I have found them quite useful as most of the guys that work there have TTR250 Raids. The number is (02392)498558, It's probably worth giving them a call as they have completely stripped and rebuilt their bikes in the past." Anyone with similar personal recommendations around the globe please let me know.
 And to Nik Codling: "Just thought I'd mention the excellent service I've had from Quick Crank in Waterlooville (02392 233933). This place is great - full of absolute perfectionists. They specialise mostly in restoring old vehicles, and re-building or even manufacturing things like cylinder heads and blocks." They did a good job on boring his cylinder apparently.
 Greg Hughes of Taunton, UK, says "I bought my TTR from Riders of Yeovil 01935 477154 after a few weeks it developed a pretty bad engine problem which was repaired under warranty and with a smile !!! Tony at Riders seems to have a pretty good knowledge of the TTR."

I think this forum is probably a better place to keep a thread going where people can add their own experiences.

If you have had a bad experience, please be careful not to put yourself and this forum in jeopardy by your language. It is always possible to cover the ground without being defamatory.

So please add details of your local bikeshop/mechanic to this thread please! Doesn't have to be just UK - anywhere in the world please biggrin

With a smile? That doesn't sound like Tony!!! He does know a lot about Japanese import bikes and their parts yeah but ordinarily doesn't do repairs there.
