It’s a grim week for the Motorcycle trade in the UK, as once more the largest chain of stores has closed, just like the other multi store giants in the past… Motorcycle City / Carnells etc… This link has more details on the Plymouth store which used to be GT Motorcycles… Click Here…

It’s a big loss to the industry and a sure sign of how tuff it is at the moment, and one we are also aware of, after choosing to close our Worcester Branch at the end of last year in order to concentrate on the Birmingham and Daventry stores as it was clear that the market was not growing and hard choices needed to be made.

We wish all the staff at George Whites the best of luck in finding new jobs very quickly in these times..

I would expect MCN are one of the big losers in all this as George White Motorcycles had so much advertising in there publications, I can’t imagine they have been paid out.. and with page adverts running between 3-5k a week, I think it’s fair to say the MCN monopoly on advertising is not helping the Industry at all… and push’s companies to stack high and sell cheep to try and generate the money to fund these adverts…
