Bikers in the North Midlands may have already heard on the grapevine that something is going on on Saturday 18th April in the small market town of Leek in Staffordshire. Things are not being publicised too much in the town itself just yet as the organisers do not want to completely diminish the element of surprise. Flyers and emails are being distributed to MCC's, Forums and groups in surrounding areas to raise awareness in preparation for the event
The core of the issue is that a Motorcycle spares, MOT, Service and repair shop that has served the Staffs, Derbys, Cheshire area for over 40 years is being forced to the brink of closure due to the attitude of the local council. Relocation is NOT a viable option due to the sheer cost. besides ... Why the hell should they???

If you can (or know someone who can) offer their support ... Get involved!
