Stewy the last thing you did to your bike yourself was stick a bit of air in the tyres, I wouldn't worry if I was you. Youd pay for someone to stick a shiny dustcap on

Just wanted to say the same, the lads that have set this up are heroes.

We're thinking about running some 'New Rider Classes' on a Wednesday evening. The class will be workshop based and is for people interested in getting a bike or those that have recently started riding.

We'll cover some topics like:
- Safety gear & standards
- Basic maintenance
- Tips for buying a used bike
- Pre-ride safety checks
- Motorcycle facts & myths

etc.

If you or someone you know some new rider's that'd be interested, point them at our friend face page. Thanks

We also might follow that up with some maintenance classes. How to change your oil, chain, sprockets, consumables etc. Shout if that'd be of interest too.

That's something I'd have an interest in. I've liked your Facebook page so will keep an eye.

Thanks. Any feedback is good.

I'll grab a better pic later. Maybe make a video.

Finally got around to this. I had a decent enough camera on me today so I got a couple of snaps. They're up on Facebook.

I also made a video, which I'll have up on youtube once I'm done editing.

Its last FB post is 2018. Just fizzled out? Pity. I've no garage, and this would be a godsend.

Their last post on Facébook was in 2018. If that was their main outlet for info, it certainly doesnt look good for it. Even if it was to keep people updated about closure over Xmas 2018, nevermind Covid-19!

They have an instagram account. Their last post on that was 18 January 2020. They only seem to post every couple of months on their instagram, so they could very well still be active.

Best of luck with it
