New guy in UK

[Yamaray]

Hi Guy's
Been lurking for a while now and have decided it's got to be a S10
Just going to wait for the 2014 details to be announced before I purchase ::008::
As always there's a question and it's for the UK owners, I leave in central London and need a recommendation for a good dealer
Not had a Yamaha since I had a Thunderace and that dealership no longer exist.
I'm prepared to travel a bit for the right dealer i'm not to good with mechanics so back up is quite important to me.
Although the S10 seems pretty reliable,
Thanks guy's ride safe

Just going to wait for the 2014 details to be announced before I purchase

I think that is a good plan, with a simple hello, Yamaray.....

 

[terrysig]

Agreed good plan. First welcome! Second, i trade every 3rd year based on mileage and 2014 is the year. Depending on the 2014 details I may back off to a 2013. Liked the white and flat charcoal anyhow. We shall see!

I got a great deal from Slocombes Yamaha and they could not do enough to help.

When I went back for the first service they did not even charge me for the parts, just thanked me for doing business with them - proper old skool service ::008::

 

[Yamaray]

Thanks for the replies and the welcome guy's
Rasher regarding Slocombes are they in Dudden Hill Lane ? I bought a BMW off them when they were in Neasden they were a nice family run dealers
I wasn't aware they were Yamaha dealers so thanks for that
Talking of BMW are you the same Rasher from the UKGSUser forum.
I lurked there for a while and always enjoyed reading your posts you always told it how it was ::008:: much to others annoyance
Anyway thanks once again for the info and the welcome and I look forward to being part of the community ::022::

I'm willing to bet it IS the same Rasher.

Yes, Slocombes used to be BMW dealers - still owned by the same family and not part of some huge faceless group.

I think they stopped doing BMW's when BMW insisted they spend a billion quid on a new showroom and drop all other brands, the also do Guzzi, not a huge flash showroom with freshly ground coffee - but I had enough of that with BMW, "free" coffee whilst you are spending £100 an hour on having your GS fixed.

There is a café over the road from Slocombes if you really need some caffeine whilst your bike is serviced.

Welcome, Yamaray! You are making a wise and informed decision by electing to purchase a Super Tenere. I can assure you, you will not regret it. ::008::
