Three Cross into administration

[linuxyeti]

Looks like peugeot, Mash, SWM and a few others may need to find a new importer, if somebody doesn't buy them out of administration ..

Quite sad really, by all accounts they were a very good dealer/importer to deal with

I used to use them at times when I lived in Christchurch. They were pretty good back then, 80's/90's.

I've no idea how they are/were now though.

But, another big dealership gone is sad. There won't be many left soon.

A damned shame. Another to the list of defunct good bike dealerships.

I had a Sach XTC a long while back and they always seemed to come up with the parts I needed.
Will be sorry to see them go.

Shame, they were really good when I built that V-Clic. They sent me wrong roller weights once, by way of fixing their error they then sent me the ones I had ordered plus the weight either side, which allowed me to tinker alot more.

Bought a Street Twin from them in 2016, very good to deal with, annual service always included a deep clean and power wash for gratis.
Sadly this might be the first of many.

I wonder how many more bike shops are never going to reopen after this virus sh1t.

I'm planning on taking a ride out on the Trophy next week and will ride over to Pure Triumph Woburn just as somewhere to ride and to see if that has opened. (Are bike shops allowed to open yet?)

We only have a couple of bike shops around MK. Pure Triumph and Mission motorcycles, a Suzuki dealer. If that one carries on trading I will be amazed which would be sad because Suzuki have their distribution centre in MK and are the main sponsors of the football team.

It's going to be a terrible time for businesses that trade in boys toys and leisure with money being tight and job prospects at rock bottom.

As an aside, I am quite amazed that they are still building a new pub next to the marina where my boat is. I would have thought that would go on hold but maybe it's got to be built as part of the development agreement.
