P & H Brighton Closed!
Hi All...
Does anyone vaguely local to Sussex have any idea about why the Brighton Branch of P & H motorcycles has closed for good? Seems a bit of a shame, hope another bike dealer takes over! |

Yes, it was not doing too well. No Kawasaki franchise there, difficult parking. All stock has moved to Crawley, which is mainly clothing anyway, few bikes. None of the staff relocated.

if their service to me was anything to go by then i'm not surprised. i went to them about buying a Hayabusa and the salesman was an agressive, ********. basically told me that suzuki and two other dealers were lying to me. wasnt interested in making a sale even though i had cash! bought my busa from george whites in the end as they were the only dealer who could get me a black rz busa.

I see that Dorking Harley-D has also closed. Not that I'm interested in Harleys, you understand.

 I live on the same road as Palmer and Harvey, and it took me weeks to find out what they were...even their logo is very similar!

Loosely associated with my line of work was another company going by the name P&H something or other. They were known as pecker & head, as it was run by a couple of *****s. Allegedly.

P&H have recently spent a lot of cash on their Gatwick shop... so not surprising that the Brighton one closed.
They're good for looking at bikes, and clothes, but I'd buy elsewhere (well, I actually did). Their servicing costs are astronomical, and I'm yet to hear from a satisfied customer.
