    Taken from motorcycle trader:

    "Buyers are being sought for motorcycle clothing and accessory retailers, Hein Gericke (UK) Ltd, which was placed into administration on Monday 30th July 2012. "

    Never used them since the crappy service I got 2 years ago. I'm not saying that the £250 I didn't spend on luggage would've kept them afloat, but it might have made a difference.

    Oh Lordy, another one down the tubes :-/ I wasn't aware that they were in trouble, I'm sure that their business model was more robust than that of George White, but perhaps it was so marginal that several wet months depressing the main selling season was enough to push them over the edge. Hopefully salvation will show up...

    Varies wildly from store to store, i nearly put one on the manager of the Reading branch the sarky twat, yet the Farnborough branch are great, Brizzle gave me a £130 pair of Jeans free, so i couldn't fault them.

    Let's hope they find a buyer. Doesn't say if the company is going under altogether or just pulling out of the UK market?
    We know what crap summer weather we've had & ecconomic climate isn't any better. They may just close certain stores less profitable one's & trade online servicing the uk from certain stores. :
