Re: George Whites to re-open as....
Good Lad!
Not as quick turning as you are used to, or as light handling, and physically a bigger bike which needs to told what you want it to do (but I like a bike that needs ridden), but you'd never be disappointed with that engine and there are ways of speeding up the turn in. You can't buy an HJC FS-11 for £79.99 anywhere else. I have been looking for one an minimum I have found is £129.99. |

I think I personally prefer the look of the white/black 'Emblem' model (which I was going to buy elsewhere) but at £140 (cheapest I could find it online/instore after much looking) against the £80 I just paid I'm happy with this one. Sent using Tapatalk |

Re: George Whites to re-open as....
I'm not so sure about bargains. From what I witnessed the bikes went for a fair price as the reserves looked about what the bikes were worth. There was a 749 that did go cheap but then I found it was a non-runner so that has every chance of getting expensive. The GT550 I was looking at went for £450 or about double what it was worth. But fear not if you had your eye on something and you missed out keep scanning the local shops and usual outlets as there were quite a few dealers that were there adding to their stock list...
Other than that the Auto Jumble section had some bargains on a few parts that were left over. And there was some very cheap kit in there, but I feel you may have been getting what you paid for. As for the new clothing store, its the old clothing store relocated to the old main show room with the same old stock. So why there was a queue to pay the length of the store was beyond me. I think it says more about the psychology of retail then anything. However I wish the new venture all the best and can imagine visiting there again once the crowds have retreated. |
