Notes from our Customers
Just a note to confirm I received safe delivery of the 8 Ball and to take the opportunity to thank you and the team at Sideways for the excellent customer focussed service. It was a real pleasure dealing with fellow motorcycling enthusiasts and I will certainly be keeping in touch via the Yahoo Group and occasionally popping down in person on the bike. Oh my god!!! Rain, wind, fear, excitement, I had it all on the way home. arrived safe sound and in one piece so a good start. The bike is lovely!!! |

Hi Chris,
Just wanted to say thanks again for the efforts I got from yourself pushing the paperwork through and your crew getting the bike ready for me today. That kind of service puts other American v-twin bike companies to shame. The hot drinks were a nice touch too, second to none, thankyou. |

Rider members, Thanks to the many of you who came to Poole Quay yesterday evening
and wandered over to our stand to say hello. Considering it was a very
blustery evening there were a lot of bikes there, a very respectable
attendance indeed. My thanks go especially to Graham Rule on his Hammer
S, and his friends all on Victories from Southampton,and not forgetting
our very own Chris David, Victory Ambassador. These bikes certainly
captured all the attention at the Quay, and a lot of -bike riders had
a very good drool, including a guy who's just bought a new Harley and
wished he'd waited. . |

Kane started his new business venture whilst working out his last year of a 22 year career in the army and brought a 950 Adventure for the purpose. As he very quickly started to notch up the miles on his bike, which he described as excellent for the job, the obvious choice when deciding to replace it was the new 990 Adventure.

The KTM 1190 RC8 Superbike voted the bike of the show and star of the International Motorcycle & Scooter Show. The price is now confirmed at £10,695.00. The KTM 1190 RC8 Superbike was unveiled at the EICMA show, Milan on Tuesday 6th November. The bike was first unveiled to the British public at the International Motorcycle & Scooter Show NEC. At the very heart of the 1190 RC8 is the completely newly developed super sporty two-cylinder based on the well known LC8 range of engines, which, with a top performance of 155 hp and a maximum amount of torque of 120 Nm delivers an overwhelming amount of power to the rider. A unique light tubular steel frame, highest quality suspension and brake components and unusual technical solutions such as the exhaust positioned under the bike complete the 1190 RC8, which weighs just 200kg with a full tank. The result is a Superbike that truly lives up to its name in every sense of the word. |
