Paid a visit there the other day, my first for several years.
Despite the showroom being empty, nobody seemed the slightest bit interested in asking me if they could help with anything.
The salesmen Steve and Richard are still there (I bought my first GS from Steve there just over 10 years ago) but nobody even looked up from their phones.
It sort of occurred to me that with GS’s being as popular as they are, selling from a BMW dealership like that is probably one of the easiest jobs going for a bike salesman.
There was a couple of dozen new bikes waiting for collection scattered around the showroom reinforcing that.
Maybe as they’ve got so much bigger they have lost that personal touch which made me buy a bike from them a decade ago.
Anyway I think I’ll vote with my feet (or my bike) and go elsewhere
