Hein Gerike in Administration

[Kwikasfuki]

We popped into HG last weekend. I recall purchasing the Daytona boots for about £220. The were on for £240 and that was at the alleged sale price.

Is the market for bike gear really big enough to support a nationwide chain of stores? I,ve been in to HG several times since they opened a branch opposite DK Motorcycles (a bit cheeky I thought). Never bought anything though. The stuff looks fair quality but the styling is pretty dull IMO. Then you look at the price and it's always more than you think it will be.

I started buying Rev-It gear several years ago and have been impressed. Good quality, excellent features, great style and good value. So far it still looks good and nothing has fallen apart. I have a summer jacket and trousers that are some 7 years old now.

I didn't realise Farnborough, Oxford and Chiswick were in the North East - must re-programme my Sat Nav

Oxford is going to be my nearest store which isn't too bad.
