Default Test rides near Lowestoft

Hi guys,

Moving to Lowestoft tomorrow

Will be in search of a replacement for my SV, so was wondering if anyone knew any places where I could test ride a few bikes?

Thanks

Hey.
There seems to be a rather rapid population growth round here, and not just the teen pregnancy rates.
There is CJ Ball in Hales (the Suzuki main dealer in the area) and Lings in Lowestoft (Honda main dealer). Further a field there are several independent places, Weatherleys (sp?) in Harleston and more in Norwich.
Let us know if you need anything as I'm only up the road in Beccles.

Weatherleys are usually pretty good for test rides - just don't expect an "all afternoon" type test ride though

+1. I grew up near GY and not for nothing is it known as Dog ****-on-Sea.

My brother bought a DT50 from a small place in Lowestoft. Quite how they scraped the salty rubbish off it before he went to collect it I have no idea...

I'm from Lowestoft. It's bad, but there are many many places that are much worse it's what you make of it. Enjoy the test rides!
