Internet not always the cheapest!!
Discussion
Has anyone else been falsely lured into thinking the internet will always bring the best price, only to discover the local option was better!
Needed a new gasket and clutch slave repair kit for the Vstrom, went on line and ordered the parts, now awaiting delivery.
Then not feeling great yesterday I decided to work from home and on a break decided to check the main local dealer for the parts as their website has been slightly improved.
Very surprised (and annoyed with my self) as the gasket was pence different and the slave cylinder repair bits were a few pounds cheaper. To make matters worse I could have picked up the parts and done the work tomorrow eve instead of waiting for the vagaries of the various postal services.

It was indeed Fowlers I was referring to. Shop guys can be a bit useless (some don't seem to know what a motor bike is) and bike sales staff vary greatly (Direct you to one or to main sales guys who are good but the juniors can be a bit clueless), but the parts guy has always been friendly and efficient and the parts well priced.
Now all I need to do is remind myself before I go on line!!!!!
