Crickey are they still going, I thought he packed it in years ago, been over to the old site if he's still there years ago, how about Bills tyres is he still going, I used to go over to the Brunel club on a Tuesday night years ago at Wroughton, a little pub on a bend on the Devises road.
Anybody here used to go there, the only name is remember is a lad called himself "Lancashire Cow Power" he was a pro milkman going around the farms milking cows for living, rode a GS400 Suzuki, fell off one year over at the I.O.M in Douglas, on the horse drawn tram tracks, straight through a fresh deposit of horse poo!

Didn't hurt himself just his pride, the remnants of the event were never fully removed from his blue leather jacket, left it there as a badge of honour, so he used say.

Jim and Polly retired two years ago and a younger bloke runs it now. Jim's son is still one of the mechanics though.
