It seams that HG are in serious trouble - lets hope there is a mega-rich biker out there who can recover the situation

I like their stuff will be a shame to see them go.
But I think it is a sign of the times, when did you last buy from them?

I see a bit drop in the number of bikes and bikers no the road and in the competition side too. For a lot of folk it is hobby spending and is cut back when time get tough.

Shame, HG have been good to me over the years, but their demise is no real surprise I'm sad to say.

I've bought gloves, jacket and trousers in the last few months with amazingly good discounts, which in itself tells a story. Would have bought a helmet too, but the stock in the Norwich store has been very threadbare since January - another indication that the end was nigh.

I think with an injection of capital and new management (who are a bit more savvy in these hard times) there is definitely potential for HG to rise from the ashes...

A real shame - I hope this doesn't mean a bigger demise bringing others down too.....
