Hein Gericka has gone in to administration.
Bugger now where will I buy my gear from?
TBH my local shop to anyway was Darlington and over many years have really and I mean really enjoyed the shopping experience.
I always rate their mid to high line kit and their no quibble exchange policy so in my view a sad loss indeed 
Oh well sales on. Still sad though.

I agree , Ive always had good service from the staff, used their waterproof boots which do remain waterproof. A sad loss to the bikeing high street. I did have my doubts, Ive had more texts and E mails offering discounts over the last few months than before, that with a noticable reduction in stock did cause me to have a few concerns. I hope they can find a buyer with some sort of rescue package.

It is only Hein Gericke UK that has gone into administration. They are an entirely separate entity to Hein Gericke in Germany. The UK business was operating under licence. That means you should still be able to get stuff online :)

That just goes to show the current state of the motorcycle fraternity in the Uk particularly although I suspect it the same elsewhere. That's more competition out of the way which means that you're likely to be screwed by those who remain. I've just taken the T/Bird for a run to OYB in Bucks .... I'm thinking of buying a new set of textiles ... Rukka Arma S .... £1,800 struth that's a heavy number to comprehend. I can get a bit of deal but not much. :'(
