He was very helpful to me with Fazer suspension advice back when I lived in Bristol. Top bloke!
Not particularly recommending that frequently, but still using Morris Ringfree 20-50. My bikes ran perfectly for 80,000 miles so I'm not going to change now

Top bloke indeed Doc guided me around the Nordscleife more than a few times until I knew the track well enough to go at a decent pace myself - very helpful on riding technique and set-up. Liz followed him round for a few laps on the Fazer 1000 and absolutely loved it. She even got to do a few laps of the Nurburgring F1 circuit too (she had the back wheel in the air panic-braking for the hairpin after the pit straight :lol ). Going round there with our eldest on the pillion was the point I decided I'd had enough of the standard Fazer 1000 rear shock !!.
