Slinger's Preston....

Well it's official, iv'e just received this email

END OF AN ERA

We are sad to inform you that after over 35 years in the motorcycle trade, Peter and Barbara Slinger are due to retire at the end of March. They would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for choosing to use Slinger Motorcycles. Peter said "It has been hard at times, but I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in the motorcycle industry. I have had the opportunity to meet lots of interesting characters and I can't think of any other job that I would have enjoyed as much as this one" Peter and Barbara would especially like to thank all of you who have become friends as well as customers. You know who you are.
Although Peter and Barbara are taking a well deserved retirement, the shop will remain, but under new ownership. However, all the familiar faces will still be there, along with one or two new ones, to cater for your motorcycling needs. The new owners have ambitious plans to improve the building, giving you a greater choice of machines, clothing and accessories.

As a result of his impending retirement, we have a number of motorcycles for sale at greatly reduced prices - please note that the following prices are applicable when there is NO trade-in. Cash or finance only. NO part-exchange.

I wouldn't mind that, can't see a piccie on the web-site though

Is it standard Jo, or has it had any nice bits on it (cans, undertray/rear fender removed etc?)

Carl, Peter and Barbara finish a week on Saturday. The machanics are staying on. KJM already have stock in the shop now so the answer to your question is no the shop will not be shut. Peter has given notice to quit the Suzuki dealership and KJM will have to apply for this themselves as this is the way that things have to be done. So will KJM get the Suzuki dealership
