We don't open on Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for special events. (In the old days, Sundays were 10 'til 3.)

Security device is just a monitored cctv system. We asked the operators to keep a special eye open for a few days as we were flooded out on Friday and we were just worried that we might be a little more vulnerable than usual.

This is some of the crew and a few volunteers coming to the end of mopping up 4" of flood water from our showroom on Saturday morning. The old geezer on the left is yours truly.

Thanks John,

I'd have thought Sundays were a prime opening day? Lots of bikes about in the area on a Sunday, Fox's diner always has a few Harleys kicking around.

I've seen some retail intelligence stuff in the past that said Sundays were the big "browsing" days for high ticket items with actual purchases being made during the week.

Sorry - not trying to tell you how to run your business, just an observation!

Nice Springer in the window with the "guvnor's bike" swinger on it

Actually quite looked the look of that K1200S too, have had my eyes on one of those for a while
