ModeratorThe owner Roy Richards (coincidentally he was my Dad’s boss for 20 years), plans to rebuilt and be open again in only 14 months. But he doesn’t plan to fit a sprinkler system! He reckons it could damage the bikes! So the fire was just messing about then?
Either way, good luck and I will be supporting the place when it re-opens.September 19, 2004 at 10:48 pm #16878Radar

KeymasterSprinklers have got to be better than flames, most bikes are waterproof up to a point aren’t they? But flameproof? Crappy decisions like that get my goat!
