That's a really good price. Do they do a ride in service as well?

They do but they havent got a front paddock stand and they use a crane and strap to hoist the front.
I'm guessing its safe enough though (sweat)

I prefer them to be strapped up rather than on two stands. Much more secure that way.

Tyre gunk only cures through the hole. That's why it works and continues to work.
