With retirement from the day job looming, I'll be hitting the roads of Europe in May (in the motorhome, not the Fazer  ) but before that I'm visiting family in the UK and doing a bit of 'Ivanising' while I'm back there.
I'm in country from 24 April to 1 May and I already have 9 bikes lined up to work on during that time. However, I may have scope to slot a few more in without upsetting the domestic harmony (got the missus with me this time!), so if you'd like to know more please drop me an e-mail (not a PM, please) to mikegreatorexAThotmail.com. Please include your postcode to help me plan the art of the possible. 
Cheers!
Mike
what van you got mike?
we've got some good safe wildcamping spots near us if you're interested
The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money!
It's an Adria 670SC Matrix. Five-berth, 7.3 mtrs long and based on the 2.3 Fiat Ducato/Alko chassis. I won't be over in the motorhome this time but in May & June we'll be touring northern Spain, then heading up through France to Roscoff and taking the ferry over to Plymouth.
Spain, France and Germany - well, most of the European mainland - are so well set up for motorhomers, with the aires/areas/stellplatz to stop on for a night or two in transit. Finding similar spots in the UK is so much more difficult, so any steers to good wildcamping places would be welcomed.
Thanks!
Hi Mike,
My emails are playing up, I'd be interested in the ivanising, I'm in the TW18 area
I'd like to have the full monty please I'll send an email. I'm in the se area.
Hello Mike You did send me an e mail regarding doing a mod job on mine but I cant open it anymore and you said you needed to know who was interested by early Feb so you could buy the Ivans kits you will need. I said I would be able to get up to Bristol at end of April. Can you please get back to me if this is still possible. Sent you my e mail in Pm. Cheers mate. If its any good I would be looking at full monty, was going to have it last year but had to drop out and you said I was on the reserve list for future sessions
Hi all,
msewelly, please PM me with your e-mail address and I'll try contacting you by return.
Kitcrazy, no sign of e-mail yet.
Neon Knight, e-mail received, I'll reply tomorrow.
I'm away from home at the moment with infrequent internet access.
Mike
Hi Mike email sent hopefully
msewelly, PM received, thanks. I'll reply as soon as I get back home on Tuesday.
For Ian Harris.
I tried replying to your e-mail via the forum system but it bounced. Please e-mail me direct, not via the forum, if you're still interested.
Cheers!
Hi Mike
Finally got round to joining foc-u.. not before time... I am still extremely keen on your services (the full monty). Now I am a member Here's hoping I can get others up north to join me and make it worth your visit. Failing that I would not think twice about travelling to you.
Cheers
Jim
Ian, got your e-mail and have replied tonight - thanks.
Jim, hi - good to see you here. Sorry that I can't get as far north as your place this time but I will try to work something out maybe later this year.
Cheers!
Mike
Ok thanks Mike :'( please keep me in mind.
Jim
Hi mike
I have to put a post on her
you did my bike 2 years ago and its still as sweet as it was when i pulled away from your
friends garage in the midlands.
I only had the slip on stage one and everybody on the day had the full monty.
for what i ride the bike it has suited me down to the ground.
The exup valve is still working as when you set it and the carbs are still balanced
i have only done 3k in 2 years on the bike.
i did find an arkrapovic exhaust with a removable baffler like new,it took me a year and a half.
Anybody on her in two minds in getting the mod done, just get it done as it will transform the bike completely
power is smoother mpg is 42-46 if you don't go nuts on your right wrist.
it should have been as yamaha should have made it from the factory.
mikes party trick is having your carbs in his hands in under 20 mins
that you have taken me most of the day.
again many thanks
jools

Hi Jools, good to hear from you again and thanks for the positive words. Great to know your Fazer is still running so well.
To Tefer and the others up north who I've had to disappoint this time around, I'll do my best to make a trip up that way as soon as I can find the time and there are sufficient owners to make it worth the jaunt.
Cheers!
Mike
For anyone on the fence for this (now or in the future), I had my fazer full monied during mikes last trip to Scotland, and the difference was immediate and impressive. Worth every penny of the money and I'm getting many more smiles per mile nowadays
Hey Falcon what about a day trip to Northern Ireland see the sights try the food a pint of Guinness and Ivanise my bike at the same time? :lol
A day trip to Northern Ireland sounds lovely but it's more than a day's worth of travel from my home in Spain to your place.
Still, I'm retiring in a few weeks so who knows what I might decide to do with my free time in the future.
Would there be anyway to collate a list of members who fancy this valuble upgrade, could have a name contact email/phone number and location?
I know i'd travel so far
