Small Bike Business Needs Your Help

Hi All.

I visited Ray Denith motorcycles in Purbrook Heath today to pick up some chain lube. I got speaking to the guy that owns the place. It sounds like business has really fallen of for him in recent weeks. It was about 1pm when I visited today, and with my business his total for the day so far was £20!

If you are in the area he could use your custom.

That's just above Portsmouth I think (), bit of a way to go, anyway I use my local, however this'll be the way the small locals go until we have no choice and everything is a "wait for the post", it might be a couple of £ more on some stuff, but I'm glad it's there and the ability to just pick stuff up is worth the extra.

Cheers Mark.

i use my local for bit's just so happen's though that my local's a behemoth of a bike dealer so should'nt go under i hope.

If I was in the area I would. I live in London. Hate to see individual businesses struggle.
