Back to the thread ...
Spent the afternoon at Rainbow ... that's it folks, doors closed
Willy Nelson ...
BUT they open tomorrow and it's business as usual ...
Duntya just love 'em
Isn't everyone looking old, guess we are all growing old
Speak for yersen kid
I think Shaun knows when the time is right, shrewd move
When I am your age now, I can forsee very few bikes on the road by then
Not many young'uns getting interested in bikes nowadays
Sad to see the end of an era. Shaun and Lorna are the best people - god knows how much money I've spent there over the years.
I would hope that Steve, Leigh and co will be retained by Jefferies.
Also nice to see Ian in your photos above Micky, done some cracking deals with him in the past and a lovely bloke to boot.
Wishing them all the best for the future.

FFS JB are you always this pessimistic? There will always be motorcycles, there will always be two wheels and an engine ...
... the future is bright

No, just being realistic and a realist
I don't see many youngsters coming into road biking & certainly not in the numbers there were 20-30 years ago
People who recently went to the nec last week, only saw 'old gits' (in their words)
Look at any road bike gathering and 90% are 45-70+ in age range
When I go to a trial, there are large numbers of 5-17 year olds riding bikes - however when they turn of an age to ride on the road they are anti riding on the road and have no interest whatsoever, much preferring 4 wheels and yet still riding off-road into their 20's and beyond
Yep there will bikes, just not many buyers
Only ray of sunshine is the vintage/retro/hipster business but those buyers are 30 somethings who are mainly into a scene rather than biking/touring per se and may readily move onto something else
You may not agree with my viewpoint and observations - but just my opinion
I actually think you are correct in as much as there are few youngsters getting into biking but you miss out on the important bit
Those youngsters will get older and as so many do will get into biking aged over 40 ( + or - a few years) so without knowing it Micky is also right
No, just being realistic and a realist ....
You may not agree with my viewpoint and observations - but just my opinion
But they will buy the motorcycles in the future ... it's just that the age group for doing so has moved up the scale ...
When I grow up I'd like to buy a new bike
You are a pessimistic fecker ... :
