nik - the world's your lobster being based there.
Also for servicing, there's always our own Yorkie Chris.

If its a Suzuki, what's up with the Suzuki Centre on Burton Stone Lane? I can recommend you some good independents if that's your preference.

A1 Moto are a probably the biggest set up in York now, but they are Triumph Dealer.

As for Roads - You have the lot round here mate.

The coast runs are always a fav to Whitby, Robin Hoods Bays, Scarboro etc.
Helmsley to Stokeslely (TT)
Loads on the moors around Chimney bank and the Lion Inn.
There are the roads right on your doorstep, and the big bike meets at Squires Cafe at Sherburn in Elmet.

As for the roads, Richie said it all.

Yep Triumph all the way.

Not sure about the issues Paul had with York Suzuki, I was there with him 2 weeks ago and he never mentioned anything.

Transits on Toff Green are pretty good and 2 lads from the Suzuki centre work there now.

Another vote for Transits. Been there a couple of times, decent and cheap
