Hello and welcome.

Hi and welcome - Fowlers is one of my favourite haunts when I get the chance. Bought my SV650 from there a while back. Rode with the Fowlers riders' group up to Donnigton for the (I think it was) '04 Moto GP a long time ago.

See you and ride safe mate

Although I drift round there now & then and the cafe is friendly, I have never found the salesmen particularly helpful or welcoming over the years. And before anyone fires up this is just my opinion/experience and not meant to be taken as a personal attack or anything!

I agree. When I bought my SV650 (which is in bike heaven poor thing ), the salesmen there didn't seem to care less. Had to go and find one to put the deposit down on it.

Cafe is nice and friendly though, like you say - keep an eye out for a stumpy, goateed Z750 rider.....probably with bags under eyes - baby daughter has decided that my days of lie-ins are over.
