I pass it every day, the building looks almost finished. I'd guess about
another month though.

Passed it earlier to-day, didn't have time to stop - it looked open
though.

Cheers for now.

Update - it opened Saturday 30th May. Went in to-day (Monday) - bikes
are all British spec. (no parallels). Roomy showroom downstairs with all
the new stuff, and a good selection of VERY clean used bikes upstairs.
Also clothes, boots, lids etc. etc. Worth a look if you want a ride to
Liverpool.
For comparison I asked the price for a 16K service on my bike (ST1100)
and they quoted me about £80 more than I've just paid a Honda dealer -
can't say how their other prices compare!

Their phone number is 0151-955-6222.

Cheers.

Apparently it has opened unofficially (!) but will be fully open in a few
weeks. i think.

Sorry to answer my own initial question but I went in there on
tuesday.
Apparently they opened on 30th May (as someone has already pointed
out) but the official grand opening is set for saturday 13 June.
I must admit I was very disappointed with the lack of any special
opening offers when I visited, but was told that the official opening
would include such 'offers'. Maybe worth a return visit.....maybe.

What is this place and where is it exactly ?


Also, does anyone know what happened to Liverpool Honda as they seem
shut all the time . My slight vested intrest in this is that their
solicitors are claiming I owe Liv. Honda £10- from a year ago but they
wont tell me what for and want to take me to court about it. Charming !

Mates Brother Bought a GXSF750 there last Saturday, also ukp800 worth
of gear.

Bastard.

He'll kill himself, the last bike he rode was a 750 Bonnie which he
sold over 10 years ago.

Bleedin born again biker, more money than sense,

Ok I'm jealous, I mean more money than ME!

Sounds interesting as I 've found the 'Pool a bit sparse of decent bike
shops. I was going to moan about that area being awkward for public
transport (when you leave a bike for servicing) but there is actually a
Merseyrail just there...

Yep it's the Solicitors (called Reason Breen ) that want the princley
sum of Sterling 10.62 from me (I'm dying to find out what for). I'm not
suprised they've gone belly up given my expriences with them. So the
question now is do I give my beloved CBR600 to Carnells or stick with
the Wirral and Marriots ? The ex-Liv. Honda mechanics have probably been
hired by Carnells !!

I would highly recommend HONDATECH in Martins Lane, Wallasey
0151 637 2221. It's run by a former Liv-Honda mechanic who set up on
his own about 3 years ago. He's good, ain't no doubt about it !
Tell him Big Pete with the ZZR sent you.
