Harleys rider training ?

Hi all , popped along to Harleys on Sunday for a banter and a nosy and found the place shut , anyone shine any light on where they have gone or shut up for good ???

Shut up for good I'm afraid, no money in it.

A number of the instructors migrated to Route 66 in Motherwell, the rest unknown.

My friend came home from Breast Way Round to find she was unemployed.
Shocking

No surprising really

I found them riduculously priced ended up doing my lessons down in Ayr for half as much.

aye god i passed wi them in 2001, shame to see any business shut down though

Hi all, I hope you don't mind me joining and posting here to ask about Harleys. I can't find any info about them shutting anywhere else.

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

I'd stop doing that and start phoning the police.

If you're lucky he didn't declare insolvency, just boarded up and walked away, in which case he owes you a bike or the cash.

If he went properly bankrupt you'll get nothing. Sorry.

Oh my goodness, that's awful. I agree, go to the police.

Thanks for replying so quickly and the advice

I've been thinking about going to the police and that's what I'll do first thing tomorrow. I guess I was just thinking it was an honest mix up or he forgot with the hassle of moving premises or something but times getting on and not having a working number or anything to contact them on is worrying me now.

Strange how he told me they were moving to East Kilbride, that was at least a month ago.

I'll see what the police have to say tomorrow.

Thanks again,
Stuart.

jim harley used to have a pub but I cant remember where it was, some wee village in north glasgow area.

I passed with them in 2001 too.

I nearly started training with them to be a bike instructor 2 years ago, but was advised not to go anywhere near them as they were in trouble
