I noticed a few weeks ago that all the bikes disappeared out of it and the shop appeared to close.

I just found out that the guy who owned it did a runner with all the bikes! He used to let people put their bikes in his shop to sell for them and keep a small % for him self. Well apparently he had 20-30 bikes in there and overnight he packed them all into a big lorry and ran off! The police are after him at the minute.

It makes you think though. I put my bike in his shop to sell about a year ago. Shocked

Hahaha, I wondered why it closed down all of a sudden. Just as I wanted to actually look for a bike. We need more bike shops in Shrewsbury, especially second hand.

He doesn't need to rush, he works more than 10 hours a week, he has had lots of other crap to deal with, he wants to get the right bike, he is somewhat dutch, he only does it when it's ready.

He is very much dutch, more dutch than he lets on Wink

Follow the road past the chinese...Mmmmm and keep goingfor a while and i live on the right

My current bike handles like the garden gate so roundabouts arn't much fun at the moment. like i said though, i have my test booked and shall begetting a bigger bike soon. no idea what yet though! VFR 400 looks nice, not too expensive to insure, quick bike, quie cheap and bombproof Very Happy

Don't become one of those VFR400 types. I know someone who owns one and he thinks his bike is superior to mine, which clearly it is not. Wink

CBR250 right?

I'd love one, but i might have to travel to oswestry every day, in which case i think the VFR is a bit more of a distance bike.

know anywhere else cool in shrewsbury?

Wow. I drove past that shop a few weeks back wondering where it had gone Neutral
I am too looking for a bike, but i don't know of many dealers that sell second hand bikes in the area.
