I am also told they have sent out 20,000 invites. The carparks will be closed as the entertainment will be using them. I am also advised to take a lock as the only parking will be on the industrial estate.

Might potter down there. Guess this is the "official" opening(?) as I went down there about a fortnight ago and they seemed pretty open. Very big and sparkly, lots of bikes to sit on (though the second hand ones are crammed in so tight you can't actually get round them). It was the ex Dixons/McDonalds staff working there that would put me off actually buying anything but clothing from them tho

whats the range of clothing/helmets like

Depends on how fit you are and how far you can throw them...

Jelster, cheers for that, an unexpected reply that put a smile on my face.

Majority of clothing in the new shop is Frank Thomas where as the old place had a better selection, also they seem to favour AGV in the helmet dept.

I went there to the R1 launch a few months back. And the opening night, so if there having another relaunch i thnik they might be struggling for custom.
One thing they could do is drop their servcie rates, more than double that of Artdeans 5 minutes up the road.

i be there on saturday

I went to Fowlers the other week, they havent got anywhere near the range of clothing that they used to have and its also its all the lower price range stuff now as well. I was a bit disappointed TBH.

I was thinking of going, but MotoGP is on this weekend so It'll depend how I feel.
