**IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT**
WE ARE NOT GOING OUT OF BUSINESS!!!
Like many businesses, we have faced a significant increase in overheads coupled with a dramatic decrease in income. As a result, we have decided to downsize our operations to ensure we can weather the storm and enter 2025 in a stronger position.
Regrettably, this means our main showroom in Parkwood, and consequently our new cafe, will close this month. However, we will remain fully operational at our Yamaha facility, where we will continue to provide Service, Maintenance, and Warranty work for all brands. We will soon announce a new retail location for the other brands we represent.
We will continue to be a full dealer for the following brands:
BSA, Voge, Benelli, CFMOTO, Neco, Bluroc, Zero Motorcycles, VMOTO, and of course, Yamaha.
Business will proceed as usual, albeit from a smaller, temporary location that we will announce shortly. Until January, we will operate on an "Appointment Only Basis" for motorcycle sales across all brands, except for Yamaha, which remains unchanged.
It is crucial to reassure all our valued customers that we are not at risk of going out of business. Bikes can still be purchased, serviced, maintained, and have warranty work performed as usual. Our main showroom will stay open for customers to collect their new bikes until the 14th of December; after that, collections will be from the new facility. Effective immediately, all service-related work will transition to Yamaha.

Bircholt Road

All phone lines will remain operational:
01622 909414
01622 233500
Our opening hours will stay the same. Remember, we are now closed on Sundays and Mondays but open until 4:00 pm on Saturdays.
Over the past four years, we have experienced significant growth, evolving from our modest five-bike showroom to the expansive Parkwood facility with a cafe and now a two-story Yamaha Retail Store. It is a very sad day for us, having put in so much effort and sacrificed a great deal to get where we are, but survival is paramount and we must push though to 2025.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me, [email protected] and I will be happy to answer. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the team, our brands and suppliers along with our loyal and valued customers for being a huge instrumental part of our successes to date.
We have some very special plans for 2025, and when the times right we will announce what we will be doing as we rise up and grow once more. Please forgive us for the chaos that is about to begin as we make this transition, we may not always be on hand to answer the phone so please email and I will repsond.
Thank you
Paul
