George White Motorcycles
« on: February 01, 2012, 07:20:26 AM »
George White Motorcycles, the UK's largest motorcycle dealership (Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha etc) has gone into administration. Several showrooms have closed. It was a 50 year old business with £25 million turnover.  :(

Not going to be the last motor dealership to go under this year I fear.  :'(

Thats the problem of trying to under cut everyone on price and making zero profit. I feel sorry for those who've placed orders for bikes and will likely lose any deposits they placed.
