I visited the store at 0930 today.

Not much happening at that time of day, unsurprisingly. Without many people I had a good look around the bike displays.

They had a reasonable display of BMWs and Ducatis. Although, they did not have enough to fill the space so filled one quarter of the lower level with US & Jap bikes.

The Ducati Multistrada is not a pretty bike and is really gopping in white. The Monsters look okay and are quite tempting as a toy on the 0% finance deal.

Nothing in the BMW range makes me want to change the 9 year old R1150GS.

The thing that disappointed me was the severely lacking clothing display. I'm thinking about buying a leather jacket and they had very few on display. Looking at their website, it seems the other stores stock Furygan leathers. Shame they don't have them in Cardiff as there is no way I will wear one of the Alpinestars jackets with their huge "look at me" logos.

Mined ewe, I popped across to Bevans, and their clothing section is pretty grim too.
 
I called in this afternoon, it was very busy,lots of bikes around of all makes,shapes and sizes,the barbecue seemed to go down well and was cheap at £1 a burger or hot dog,the dyno was busy the whole time I was there,I saw sports bikes several hardley's and a GS have a go.Have to agree that the clothing dept. is a bit lacking in variety but maybe it's still early days yet :nenau
 
Try Fowlers

Bought a nice Triumph leather jacket from Fowlers a few weeks back, the qualitys tops and I managed to blag :blagblah20% of retail:clap
