Just not taken it down yet, Paul posted this on Facebook the other day, he’s on here as is Steve who I think is off to Triumph. Pretty sad it seems the way it all went down. Some genuinely good guys and girls there.

A real shame. They haven't been KTM dealers for very long.
They went into KTM big style. When I bought my 390 from Colwyn Bay motorcycles they said they were on reduced allocation, something like 120 bikes per year.
Last time I visited Ellesmere Port I recon they had 130 bikes in the showroom! They had rows and rows of them.
The Harley dealership downstairs looked unchanged, probably 25/ 30 bikes all really well presented and usually busy.
Have to say the Sales and service staff at KTM were always good with me. I really wish them well in whatever they choose to do.
Hi Tony,
Yep off to Triumph. It was all a shock to us on the shop floor.
Paul has decided to leave the motorcycle trade and pursue a career elsewhere.

Hope Harry has got another job, he sold me my last 1250gs?

Hi Dave, yes he's moved within KTM to CFMoto
Very sad , some good guys there both upstairs and downstairs . I remember when they took on BMW many years ago when Bluebell in Crewe who stopped doing bikes. Good luck in your new job.
PM me if any technicians are needing work , I might know somebody who’s looking .

They were really good for service, with ( tea and toast free from the van,) sorting out starting issues i had and you always got a coffee .
Good luck to all.
Good luck to all.
This has been added to the "Contact" section of the site now, if it effects anyone here?

Probably not.
A strange first post, why do you ask?
Im currently turning the building in to a gym and while doing some googling last tight I came across this post.
While we have been working there we still get people pulling up on bikes at the weekends, we have even helped people fix bikes in the car park that have turned up with loose bolts and needed help.
It would be interesting to speak to some people that worked there.
I used to work there. And I know a lot of the other people who did too.
My first question is whats the best way to not get stuck in the bike lift at the back
its as temperamental as my ex!We are also hoping to re use the main part of the alarm to monitor fire exits but dont know any codes for it. If you are any of the old staff want to pop down for a nosey around, just let me know
That lift was always broken. It was a constant nightmare. I think the installation was flawed. Something to do with the sensors losing alignment I think. One engineer said the shaft wasn't perfectly straight. We had engineers in endlessly and they could never keep it working.My first question is whats the best way to not get stuck in the bike lift at the back

I could possibly put you in touch with people who knew the alarm codes. You'll have to PM me.
When do you open ? I'll take a free membership in return for telling your where we hid all the bodies
Yeah as long as there is someone on the outside to help you get out every time you use it, its totally fineThat lift was always broken. It was a constant nightmare.

We have loads of questions about the building, like is the electrician in prison yet! Absolutely lethal wiring everywhere and most of the original upstairs part of the building was wired in flex! Madness.
Im here 7 days a week if you want to pop down for a nose, we open October 4th
