How Long?

We love living in Norfolk. Did you realise that it's one of the few counties that isn't crossed by motorway? We have some great local roads to ride on though and lots to explore. 

However, if we want to go further afield, we can soon link up to motorway in order to travel countrywide. But did you know that in medieval times it was actually quicker to travel from Norfolk to Amsterdam, than it was from Norwich to London? At that time it took four days to get to London, but only one to sail to Amsterdam.

Over the years the journey time to London got shorter - only two days by the mid eighteenth century and a mere seven hours by the nineteenth.

Luckily today we don't have to make the journey by cart or stagecoach, but can take to the road on our trusty motorcycles. Whatever your preferred machine pop into the Dave Barkshire Motorcycle Centre for a full service, or to view our range of new and used bikes.

What a busy time

What a busy time it has been this year at Dave Barkshire with happy customers on their new bikes. 

Throughout this
summer there have been a lot of eager riders undergoing motorcycle training at our dedicated centre, with some fantastic results across CBT, Mod 1 and Mod 2 riders with great success.  

And of course, you can visit our Motorcycle Centre on Rackheath to buy a brilliant new or used bike that suits you. It’s been great to hand over keys to many proud new owners over recent months.  

As we go into autumn we hope to meet more of you keen riders, whether it’s to purchase that new machine, some up to date motorcycle gear, or even give your trusted bike a bit of a service.

For more information speak to Dave Barkshire on 01603 722800, e-mail: info@davebarkshire.com or come and visit us at our Rackheath showroom.

 

Keys To A Great Ride!

 

The Dave Barkshire Motorcycle team have been working hard this year, be it a bit differently at times, to provide key services for all you avid motorcycle riders out there.

 

We endeavoured to provide MOT slots and workshop services for key workers throughout March, April and beyond. Remember we’re here to give your machine a full service, as keeping your bike in A1 condition is key to its performance and your safety.

 

Although our popular Hit The Dirt track was closed for a time, we were delighted to re-open it in July. You can still enjoy all the thrills and spills that the Enduro circuit has to offer, but by appointment, and whilst being mindful of current guidelines that are key to giving everyone a safe and enjoyable time. For more information visit www.facebook.com/HitTheDirtUK

 

And of course, you can still come along to our Motorcycle Centre in Rackheath to buy a brilliant new or used bike to suit you. It’s been great to hand over keys to many proud new owners over recent months, even if we now tend to bump elbows rather than shake hands.

 

We hope to see you soon to pick up your new dream machine from us – with an ‘elbows, keys and a boomps-a-daisy’!
