Covid-19 Upcycling?
« on: March 23, 2021, 04:08:30 PM »
My local Honda dealer (https://crewehondacentre.co.uk/) where I bought my first PCX scooter, has very public-spiritedly decided that as they can't open their showroom during the England lockdown, they would offer the premises to the NHS for vaccination purposes!  Great work Roger, bikers working for the good of all.

It also has the benifit of getting people healthy to be able to open and sell more bikes.

That is pretty cool Neil!
Hope things get better for all of you in the U.K.

I see very few people challenging the mask mandates in our immediate area these days. When WalMart got really serious about it - stationing staff to stop shoppers at the door - reserving an early morning hour for seniors only - it seemed to really take hold in the community.

Thumbs up for your HONDA guy,
and if he gets some future customers out of this move, well deserved.

Well we have over half the adult population vaccinated now Tom, so doing well so far!  Just need the stay home restriction eased so I can get out for a few rides and I'll be a happy bunny!

Dealers like that are getting hard to find.  I'm fortunate enough to have a good dealer within 20 miles of me, Dan's Cycle Heston. He's extremely knowledgeable and will take time to explain how to repair something if you wish to fix it yourself.  I have know him and his wife for 3 decades.
