    Just seen this myself gutted, I used them for the first time a few weeks ago and they was great. The only other Honda close to me is dobles now.

    Being in the shop for about 30-45 minutes there was no signs of a sale being on, all equipment and bikes where listed at a standard price with no labels indicating a sale.

    Wow, I was only there last week and had the blade serviced a week before that. Very interesting (and sad) news and no I hadn't heard a thing. Got a serious amount of stock there, loads of new stuff and a growing selection of secondhand stock also.

    They have a dealership up london way too don't they?

    They were my dealership of choice round these parts so if true that'll be a real loss.

    Reading the article it looks like I must have been there the day before they shut the doors. I picked up a fairing panel from the parts desk and not a hint of anything unusual. How bizarre.

    Always a shame when a place has to close and people loose their jobs.

    Most places no matter who they are wouldn't try look too outta place if they are in trouble until the management(bank/board) pull the plug, most of the time the employees don't get told until last minute or worse turn up for work and the place is still locked up! :(

    business will keep hoping 'a couple of used bike sales if we get lucky, maybe a new bike or 2 and we get over this cash flow glitch' - but if they don't come there is no choice but to throw the towel in.
