Dave and James from Dave Nicholls Upholstery brought lots of examplesof bike seats which can be recovered in the original materials or one fromtheir extensive range of coverings. They are able to make it easier on theposterior by inserting a Gel compound into your existing foam base with-out making the seat height any bigger for those of us who are challenged inthe leg department. Your existing cover can then be replaced or upgradedwith something special.Dave, his partner Dawn and James are able to look after all your re-upholstery needs whether it be for your bike, car, motor home, caravan orin the home.

Ciao amici benvenuti nostra serata Italiana con motocicli GT

You guessed it you lovers of motocicli Italiana this was the evening GTMotorcycles brought their offerings of beautifully designed motorcyclesfor us to peruse and drool over.Many aspire to all different makes of motorcycle and here at the club wehave a mix of Triumph, Harley, Yamaha, Suzuki, even a Norton and manymore but it’s the romantic connotations conjured up by anything Italianthat makes many of us dream of riding into the sun along the Amalfi coastin Southern Italy on a red V twin cylindered Ducati or Aprilia or MotoGuzzi. Then we wake up and remember all the stories about rubbish elec-trics and expensive servicing.What's that I hear! Simon from GT Motorcycle's thanking us for invitinghim and the crew to our club and telling us about the reliability of the newDucati’s in particular with their new water cooled engines and very quietclutch baskets. Service intervals are much extended, not so complicatedand therefore costs are on par with the majority of marques.Great number of bikes to look at and sit on. Many thanks to Simon andGT Motorcycles. Enjoy a break at Legends Café and meet the team.
