    That's a shame, they were really good to deal with.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    If it was in receivership there is a possiblity that the receiver will keep the company trading. But if it's making a loss by trading, the receiver is quite likely to decide this will only make matters worse - so the doors are closed.

    Bay City is in Liquidation, which means that is it, company will be wound up, with the assets sold, debts recovered and creditors paid some or all of what they are owed.

    It would be a mint time to buy a bike off them, probably for both parties.

    Ah! Here, treat yourself (http://baycitymotorcycles.motorcycle...N=0&item=28890) and help them out too. I've ridden one of these and it was great.

    I'm not hearing good things through the grapevine so I'd be a bit sceptical about spending any money there.

    And if they truely do their jobs well, that milking will include their staff.

    Still it's a shame to hear of another small business going to the wall.

    This truly sad news and my thoughts go out to all those involve in this ho-rd situation. I Guess it's just a sign of the times. Motorcycling falls into the category of luxury items that end up being the first to be done without. Baycity is a expensive toy shop brand wise and that's what made them baycity. unfortunately this will not be the only shop to go and with out compation we the consumers are

    hehe your sympathy is misdirected. I am told the previous owner was a complete, er, how shall we say... is "thief" too strong a word?

    I say "previous owner" because I went for a wander down there, only to find the place closed up tight. Hmm, wasted trip.. and then someone comes out of the locked door! "Closed today - stocktaking, but open again on monday - new owners." By the way this guy was talking I'd say these new guys will make a proper attempt at it.

    There were only a few bikes there at the time, and nothing that interested me.

    Well - if you were willing to say that he actually is a thief and can back it up. Then no it isn't.

    If you cannot actually prove he is a thief - then yes it is and you shouldn't say it.

    easy really.

    There is only one thing to do when Dangerous bastard makes a comment like that.............................................. .................................................. ........................

    TAKE IT INTERNATIONAL OH IT'S STILL GREAT TO BE ABLE TO USE THAT LINE
    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead
    Do not walk ahead as I may not follow.
    Do not walk beside me as the path is narrow
    In fact FU*K off and leave me alone
