Blue Bell ??

[Paul Newman]

That's two mile from my house, fecking great.......
I take it you mean at Mill Lane, Little Stanney, Junction 10, M53?

Timpo.

That's right.

Timpo, do you have a grown-up person name as well?

I know Dave, and I probably know some other people on here, but everyone uses make-believe names so I don't know who's who.

Timpo, do you have a grown-up person name as well?

Only my Mum uses it, when I have been naughty........
Are you still at Bluebell as I need to ask a question about my bike? If so, same number?

Timpo.

Hi Paul

Had a NIght Rod Special for a few months, then a K1200GT-SE, but from Williams (as your Blue Bell couldn't get one in time).

Sold the GT in February and now back on a GS.

Great news, as I'm only a few miles from the new place then.

Are you moving there then. It would be a sad loss if you don't.

The people in North Wales, Chester and the Wirral are chuffed about the new location whereas the people in Stoke and Stafford are gutted - that's what happens I guess when something moves location - it's good for some but bad for others.

Without wanting to be too cagey, I'm looking at a few options at the moment, hopefully stay within BMW Motorrad (somewhere) though.

Thats great news Paul will have to wait for that discount then hope all goes well with the interview Gutted that its all motorway to EP and not the fun back roads to Crewe and your commute to make it interesting via the Ponderosa
Anyway mate of mine bought nearly bought a buell from them last year didnt in then end as no real discount offered got the same model elsewhere for £1500 less.
Anyway hope to see you there soon!

Interesting news, that just a few short miles from my house. That may save a trip to Southport. Not that I am not a loyal fan of Southport Superbikes. Look forward to the opening. I was in HD just 2 weeks ago having turned up on the GS, nothing mentioned though about the new venture, all sworn to secrecy I guess.

Yes Jan, I'm in the same boat.
I have an order in with SSB, I wonder if I can get it delivered to Chester BMW intstead?
Have any dates been given for the opening of this dealership?
I might nip down there today and see if I can get a hint from the HD blokes.

Did you manage to get over to HD today timpo. If so how did you get on?

The dealership is on, should be able to start trading in Spring 2009, in a portacabin, whilst the new building is constructed.
They seem to be very keen with the future plans....
See what happens....

Timpo.

 

[Davel]

I called there today and was told the same thing.

The old shop is being demolished and a new showroom should be ready for next spring / summer.

Meantime, they'll use a portacabin as an office etc.

They've got quite a bit of work to do and things to sort before they can start.

Evenin all,

Just a quickie - Blue Bell's workshop is now fully booked until the end of August and so is now unable to take further bookings for service and repair before we finally close our doors to Motorcycles at the end of this month.

I have now been drafted in as cover for a member of staff on the car side of the business and Motorcycles are now being covered by Chris. Please bear with him as it is not really his job, (and he is a little out of his depth sometimes) but he is just doing his best to cover until the end of the month. If something is urgent you can still ask reception to put you through to me and I will do my best to help.

There looks like being a 2-3 week gap from Blue Bell closing to Chester Motorrad being open for Business. If something dramatic happens with your bike during this time I would refer you to your next nearest dealer - probably Williams, Roy Pidcock, Clarks or Southport Superbikes - contact details for all of these (and more) can be found at http://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/uk/en/index.html

I would like thank everyone who has been a customer of Blue Bell in the past very much for your company in the 7 years I have been there and I hope to be able to continue to look after you all when Chester Motorrad opens it's doors in September.

Cheerie bye for now...

 

[Davel]

Thanks for that Paul.

Will we see you at Chester or have you other irons in the fire?

Good luck anyway!

 

[Paul Newman]

Chester it is, Dave.

Should be starting there 2nd (or 3rd) week in September.

We'll call to see how its going when Mrs Bear and I am back from holiday.
