I used to go to John Dale's bike shop nearly every thursday night back in the early '70's - that's where the new Honda's were to be seen.He used to be a Matchless agent,but as they faded away in the mid '60's I'm not sure what he shifted out the door before Honda became acceptable....possibly Norton,I'm pretty sure there were Commando's to be seen there.
Old John dale himself used to wander around sometimes,but he didn't get involved in the day to day running of the place....just like Bill White,you knew who he was,he might say hello,but wouldn't deal with riff raff tyre kickers with long hair.
I'm pretty sure they occupied the whole new building,there was certainly an upstairs.
