Harleys rider training ?

well torrance only has 3 pubs, cant remember the names of them. but there's the first one on the left (coming from kirky end!) then theres the second one on the right (next to the bakers!) hand side, then the third is on the right next to the spar.

now if its the second one on the right hand side next to the bakers you could be on to bad time. this pub has been closed down/opened up/ closed down/ opened under new management etc..... for the last year or so! sorry if this isnt what you wanted to hear!

right it's a very small world and google is the best tool in the world!!! I will be back shortly hopefully with some more info, hopefully I may even have a way of contacting him!!

Thanks for that Malks, been doing a bit of digging myself and it looks like Jim was the previous owner of the Swan Inn in Lennoxtown.

sorry mate no luck here, jim harley used to run the Torrance pub with a guy called Robert corrigan, he used to run my local. I thought he still did, but aparently corrigan was the last owner of this place! sorry if I got ur hopes up

Did she join the other few at Route 66?

Niki got a totally different job mate. Very pleased she got something.

Maybe someone at Route 66 has a contact number for him?

Got in touch with pal who worked at Harley's, no joy chaps. Will do some more digging. Watch this space.

In May I contacted Harleys about buying my bike from me. They offered to sell it on my behalf and take a comision on the sale. I agreed and Jim Harley came and picked it up.

About a month later, Jim phoned me to say that they were moving to new premises in East kilbride and did I want him to take my bike with them or sell it for cash to him. I agreed a price with him and he said he was going on holiday and moving so could I wait three weeks for the money.

I'm still giving him the benefit of the doubt but I havn't heard anything from them since. All the phone numbers I have just ring out and as mentioned, the place is all boarded up.

I havn't a clue what to do next, I was a bit daft looking back on things but I assumed, as a reputable place, I wouldn't have any problems giving them my bike.

Sorry this is a bit long but any advice or other contact details I could try would be very appreciated.

Thanks,
Stuart

PM'd you Stuart.

I can confirm that none of the pubs in Torrance are now run Jim Harley
The wheatsheaf is more likely the one to be - it beenclosed and ropened about 4 times in 4 years. But i do have a colleague who lives in torrance - she loves to dig for gold if you know what i mean

The torrance inn
The wheatsheaf
THe Village inn

are the three still trading and we have contacts for 2 if you need them

Jim used to own TH evillage Inn, passed there on Saturday just to see if there were any action but alas none as yet.

He might not own it still?
