I'm only in Swindon on sat because I'm picking up golf equipment won on eBay...bad James! (this is for my dad tho so it's ok)
I'm going to get there early as Jen wants some new kit, and I'd quite like a shiny helmet... (ooer vicar!)
I can't pick my golf stuff up til half 4 so I'll be there late :(
Dabz - you're more than welcome to come to ours for a coffee if you fancy before hand, so you could go at lunchtime then come over to kill some time?
That would be good, thanks mate - was also going to pop in on my brother who's just round the corner from you. I'll text or pm you near the end of the week?
mmmm, might just scoot along there and have a gander. Thanks for the tip-off aiden
Will be there on the off chance.
Cool!Quote:

Wouldn't mind popping over to have a look even though I couldn't find anything when it was open let alone now when it's closed
May pop over sometime Saturday to see what's going !! :)
does anyone know if they're putting the auction online too?
Looks like it could be a very interesting day?.
Looks like Mega Motorcycle Store is there to stay
http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-...ore/20237.html
Thats the way I read it but I suppose only time will tell?.
They seem to be flogging the same tat as usual. MCN advert doesn't show much, maybe the bikes will be better bargains???
I'll pop over and have a look all the same!
Stu 8-)
Just found this.

I will be there on Sunday - if it will be open (I will call before I go)
I Can't get there on Saturday - working :( :( :( :(
gonna pop up and have a nosy,,need a helmet and gloves very soon :)
I'm lost with this bike auction :-/ There isn't a start time, can't find a full list in lot number order, conditions for payment or really much info....might try and get over today and see what's what.
Seems the clothing side is the same sorta stuff as before
Could you update when you find out?. :)Quote:

I suspect it will be very busy as it is all over the internet and probably in MCN, the world and has wife will be there looking for a bargain. It would not surprise me if some of the bikes go for more than book price
The bikes have all been valued by the traders and are obviously going to try and retain high reserves..
Good luck with the bidding...
:)
i need a new lid - might pop down and see if i can squeeze into a xxxxxxxxs or xxxxxxxxxxxxxxl
Regards this auction:- These are what were left in the shops when Whites went ping. There are a couple of last year models unregistered and in total appears to be c.115 lots scooters,125,--apparently the list is available on-line :P
They have reserves ...why on older lots I have no idea and it starts at 9.00 Saturday ...way too early for usual auctions..with so few lots would think they'd be finished easily by 2p.m. unless they babble on for ages
Yep its in MCN :)Quote:

Went to look at the bikes today.
Reserves aren't very high e.g. 2011 new shape ZX10R with about 4k miles ...reserve is £6k.
There are three 10/11 plate VFR1200's with £7k reserves and about 5 XJ6 Diversions 10 / 11 plate with low mileage and all have £3k reserves.
HOWEVER, lots of traders have been to look at bikes though and Administrators are going to try and get as much as they can for them.
Apparently, some are also being sold on behalf of finance companies.
Bike auction starts at 9am Sat and terms are that you pay the winning bid price on hammer ... no auction commission on top.
Terms are ......Deposit of £1,000 by cash or card required on day of auction for winning bid on each bike unless sold for less ... (there are some machines with less than £1k reserves) ... and balance to be paid and bike collected within 3 days of auction.
thanks Ade, that's exactly the info I've been trying to find out all week - can't believe they haven't included it on the website!
I'm now going to give this a miss for 2 reasons - 1 I may get trigger happy with the bidding and large credit card limit, and 2, I'm hoping to spend the time working on the bike I've already bought trying to make it work :P Plus my brother's bringing my nephew down for a visit :)
Whos going to GW's then?
