    Oh dear... I wasn't a regular visitor but it was a nice destination with a good cafe. I'm not fully au fait with their product range but aside from Enfields it appeared to be largely high end stuff. Potentially a weak business model without the regular turnover of smaller capacity bikes to keep the money coming in. They weren't big enough to have the volume clout and discount potential of Blade or Fowlups.
    Another avenue of choice blocked off, sorry for the staff and I hope that no customers were left out of pocket.

    I always thought they had a good spread, Enfield, KTM, MV, Aprilla and Guzzi + always some decent second hand stuff. I would have thought that with the cafe they would have had better cash flow than many other dealers but you never know how a business is structured, financed or ran from the outside so perhaps it wasn't totally market driven that they closed.

    Bath Rd. motorcycles in Bristol have closed due to the council making it impossible to park any where near and moving a bus lane to their side of the road (A4)
