Stratstone Claycross - Close at the end of the month!
Another big midlands dealer down!
They are due to close at the end of the month and are taking no more bike or service orders. Sad day, they were very competitive on tyres. I bought quite a bit there over the past year or two. My back protector, helmet, tyres.

 Really is a worrying turn of events though. Which dealer is next?

The only bike shops even remotely near me now are CMC Chesterfield (15 miles) and Nottingham (10miles), and I heard the Nottingham branch of them was having a particularly tough time. Bad Times

Re: Stratstone Claycross - Close at the end of the month!
If the Motorcycle Trade charged more reasonable prices for spares and services they would probably have an upturn but irrelevant of how you look at things we are still in recession------consequence follows

Re: Stratstone Claycross - Close at the end of the month!
To be fair they have for the past year been very competitive for a main dealer. To little to late maybe.
Some crackin deals to be had by the looks of it. http://www.stratstonemotorcycles.co....&SP_ID=2068965 Brand new GSXR600... £5990

Ditto that. People will just do their own servcing, or give that fork change a go themselves when times are hard. Fact of life is people are spending less. |

Re: Stratstone Claycross - Close at the end of the month!
Bike sales are way down, there has also been a massive slump in new car sales.

Re: Stratstone Claycross - Close at the end of the month!
Bad times!
It seems to be all over the country aswel. My local main dealer has lost about 5 franchises this year alone as they ain't shifting anything. I was in the other week and could have had a AGV for about half price, oh how i wish i had the cash
