Further to the 'New Lid' post I'd just like to confirm that as of Friday 31st October I have nothing to do with Hein Gericke any more and do not wish to be associated with them in any way.

I am now the Dealer Principal at Total Triumph.

alright mate, good luck with your new job

good luck with it, i may have to pop in and see you then as i have just purchased a triumph for a project and will need to get some parts

Good luck in the new role mate, we'll all have to pop in and see you at some point.

Thanks peeps, everyone's more than welcome. If you do pop in don't forget to introduce yourselves as it's always nice to put a face to a name.

Ad.

Good luck at Total. Good bunch of lads there.

Simon has emigrated to Australia, he's now at Sunshine State Motorcycles. Fair play to him, apparently the dealership is right next to the beach. Lucky sod

ORIGINAL POST CENSORED


All in all I'm glad to be out of it

that about sounds right for modern day management,i must admit ive always wondered how a bike shop with no workshop/bike sales can survive in this day and age. its a shame its gone that way as HG originally had a lot of good stock and variety of the premium brands as well as their own kit.

the plymouth store had such a low stock level it looked like it had been broken into over night and they were obviously hit a lot harder with the lack of arai sales than taunton as the arai range was almost non existent along with the arlen ness/alpinestars leathers

dunno about the plymouth store, but the bristol and cardiff shops seem well stocked.
ive used them for years and cant say ive noticed any real difference.

heared they have a sale on puma boots, they any good? apparently they are goretex but dunno about the puma brand
any help dudes?

Funny, I had a feeling there might be a post defending HG on here from a completely new user after the email I received earlier today.

Please accept my apologies evilmonkey whoever you may be....., I did try to keep my post as accurate as poss, and didn't think I'd said anything particularly untrue at all, but I've censored it anyway.

pmsl

who are ya and where do you work i wonder?? with a intro like that it can only be for only one reason and that isnt going to guarantee a warm welcome is it

in response to your question about puma boots i would stay well clear of them, have spoke to 4 or 5 people who i trackday with that have tried them and no-one has a fond word to say about them,poor quality,no back up available and they defiently wouldnt buy them again or recommend them to friends
