    Welcome from another newbi from just down the road, also ex Devon rider. Often wind down the A30 from Shaftesbury to Chard then drop down to the coast, coffee at West Bay then coast road to Weymouth and back up to home.

    We can make a plan, maybe meet at Compton Abbas for a cuppa on a Sunday morning and take it from there

    Cheers for the welcome. They're a small independent, owner is ex Triumph sales. It's based at his house in a tidy little wood building, with a small workshop next to it. Anything he takes in on a trade in that isn't to his high std is sold to the trade. Seems to have lots of regulars which is a good sign. Initially I thought it could be a bit sketchy but now I'd say they're sound.
