The Bike Pavilion in Letchworth is no more.

Which makes getting Kawasaki spares locally slightly more challenging.

It seems to be a bit of a habit at that place. I wonder if any of the
original mob from Colin Collins were involved and if they were whether
they ****ed over a few customers like they did last time?

proud of.

Same thing happened here when they shut down Pidcocks. But they
apparently now carry kawasaki spares at their honda dealership about
10 miles away - not used them yet, but guess I will be doing.

Dunno what they are like and don't know if it's too far but theres a
relatively new Kwak dealer in Bedford, well Kempston to be more
specific.

can do that.

Owned by an old biking mate of mine, Pete Coleman. I've known him 25
years. They're ok and have a bloody good mechanic called Steve.

Well, if they're able to supply a 1400GTR air filter tomorrow, they have
a sale (and a new customer).
