That's a bit of surprise, there didn't seem to be a shortage of cash in November at the NEC, they had a big old pitch? Worryingly, this could be an early sign of worse things to come in dealerland...

We could all end up riding miles to get to dealers. My brother's local Harley dealers in Leeds went under last summer (so did Manchester and Doncaster branches) and his nearest is now Newcastle (he lives in Harrogate)! I had the same problem with my GS, bought it from Lind in Norwich in 2003 and they shut 4 months later (I had no idea they were in trouble) to be left with a 150 mile round trip to Peterborough to get the 9 (yes 9!) warranty jobs done! So I sold it. 6 months after I sold it a BMW dealers magically appeared in Norwich again!!
