Do you remember bike dealerships of old? The roof was caving in, the coffee was served in mugs covered in oily thumb prints and every single member of staff seemed to have a beard! Despite all that, they were a haven for bikers. It was where everyone went to have a chat about the biggest and best, exchange riding stories and take in that unmistakeable aroma of Castrol R.
Nowadays, it can be pretty hard to find a bike dealer. Particularly a good one. Times have been tough for the Motorcycle trade. So it's fair to say that's it hard to find a dealership that combines the best of biking traditions with a hearty amount of modern customer service. That's where Northwest Honda Motorcycles have struck a healthy balance.
The minute you walk into a Northwest Honda bike dealer, you're greeted by clean shaven (the ladies particularly), knowledgeable and best of all, passionate people. Bikers actually! The coffee tastes of coffee and not chain lube. The roof is secure too! Yet you get the distinct impression that you could be in that dealership you remember so fondly. The atmosphere is sociable and everyone is swapping stories about their ride to Knott End or Devil's Bridge or their last tour of Scotland or Europe.
The smell of two stroke may have gone, but the bikes are no less interesting. New and Used Hondas are in abundance, but there's also the best pre-owned bikes from Aprilia, BMW, Ducati, Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Triumph and Yamaha. Proof enought that we will take absolutely anything in part exchange, including Cars incidentally. Prices are as competitive as anywhere in the country and the level of service is second to none. Plus, there's Finance packages including 0% deals tailored to each individual.
In the Clothing and Accessory departments, there is the most comprehensive range of helmets, gloves, boots, leathers and textiles. You'll also get the opportunity to lust over all that is bling in the Performance Parts range including Akrapovic, Remus, Gilles, Hyperpro to name but a few. The deals are fabulous and there's a special something for those that keep returning time after time.
Workshops are brimming with expertise and the ability to service all makes and models. MOT is in-house and Parts can be found for every motorcycle, both old and new.
If getting out and about on the road is your thing, there's the chance to join the team on one of their many rideouts through the Lakes and the Dales. You can even head to a race circuit with the 'Track Day Legends' to escape all the traffic and speed cameras for a day. Ever wondered if you could've been Valentino Rossi? Then look no further!
So, there you have it. For all that is best in biking, visit Northwest Honda Motorcycles in Blackpool, Lancaster, or our new state of the art showroom in Preston. We remember how it used to be and we certainly don't forget how it should be.
