Hi All

Just to let you know we're having a January sale at my shop, got some very good deals on leathers, especially Arlen Ness.

We also have the usual free tea and coffee, would be nice to any members if you're in the area.

Ricky-t could pick up his trackday leathers.

We can do deals on some things, depends what it is, we can do some good deals on race cans etc, but we're not allowed to discount anything that's already been reduced.
They are quite tight with us on discounting, as we price our kit quite agressively anyway. We do have some cracking bargains in the sale though, the Arlen Ness kangaroo suit is down £250.

Well, funny you mention that.

I wish you posted a little earlier because a couple of days ago i went to bridge and forked out on some dainese leather that they had in the sale.

(I am a bit of a brand snob, do you sell any dainese gloves?)

Bridge have 1/2 price servicing at the moment which i took advantage of since I couldn't adjust the valve clearances and balance the carbs myself.

HG are tight as foook on discount! Is that all HG's or just Taunton?

Ricky_t, We don't do Dainese, but we do Arlen Ness & Alpinestars, low on stock on gloves at the moment, expecting full 2008 range to arrive in Feb.

Taff, haven't seen you since I moved, hope all's well for you - as mentioned above, new stock in Feb, so pop in and see me when you're back.

Tom, you're absolutely right about the discount thing, but it's not just Taunton, it's a company policy and head office monitor it closely, we even have to make staff purchases through head office! On a positive note though, our prices are normally very competitive especially on our own brand clothing, it's very good quality for the price, much better than a lot of more expensive kit out there. Also our 2 year warranty is very good, no hassles.

Yeah something like that, long story really. It's sort of like a franchise.
