Moto service at the Landmark London
SECRET LONDON: THE LANDMARK HOTEL, MOTORCYCLE REPAIRS AS IMPECCABLE AS THE HOTEL.
London’s five star Landmark Hotel is recognised worldwide for superlative service. Welding a broken motorcycle on the premises for a non-resident is probably not an everyday occurrence, but they dealt with it, with calm, aplomb and superb customer service.

KERFUFFLE IN A HURRICANE
At a roundabout four kilometres from the home of my friends and eighteen minutes before the hurricane arrived Moto Gelato picked a fight with a Yaris. The Yaris, in the wrong lane, ignoring the legal right of way, and driven by a young person who was not a man, also ignored Gelato's turn signal and clipped the rear wheel. To the roadbed, and then pulled upright by me and a passing stranger to find nothing amiss except the mirror skewed and the fact the bike would not start.
The hurricane descending, street lamps bending and garbage strewn from upended bins, I had not the heart to dig out tools and look for a fix. So a call to the Motor Racer Garage and Cafe here in Wroclaw and a pick up van arrived in a trice.
Not easy, the moving of the bike into the van with 100 kph winds howling, but it was done, and bike whisked away to be repaired overnight.
The clutch sensor fixed, again, Gelato in fine fettle, the hurricane headed east, so I'll follow it in the morning.
