Three Cross Motorcycles Goes Into Liquidation

Yes great shame, I went to their last open day, which was very busy. They had a good selection of bikes.

 

Sad news indeed, unfortunately I fear there will be many more.
I bought a RSVR from them a few years back, decent people.

 

Whenever i went there their staff were very helpful and friendly, a sad loss for locals who rely on that dealership for parts and servicing.

 

I test rode a 916 there back in 1997...it was a freezing cold day and they just said bring it back when you’ve had enough. Great place. Sad that they have had to close.

 

I'll bite....did you buy it then.?

 

Don’t be daft. He hasn’t had enough yet. It’s in his shed.

 

23 years later,nice gig if you can get away with it.

 

Buy now, pay never. My kinda credit.

 

Never had credit ever on the motorcycles,but i'll take your point of view.

 

Unlikely tbh as crescent Verwood is Yamaha only, and 3X are triumph.

 

No...to be honest, I was never going to as I couldn’t afford it at that time. I just wanted a go on a 916 to see if they were as good as the press said.
I ended up buying a second hand 748 (mag Marchesini’s, carbon fairings, rearsets etc) from a shop in Paris in May 98. Went over on Eurostar, rode it back, got stopped for speeding just outside Dover!
Saved a packet on the price back then, it cost me FF55000 (~£5500).

 

Just worth the trip alone for Paris experience,but throw in a ride back to the UK ...mega

 

how much was the fine R?

 

The bike had Parisian plates and the coppers likely thought I was French (I was pretty fluent back then having not long returned from 2 years in France), I did consider feigning “Je ne comprends pas l’anglais, monsieur le cochon...” but admitted I’d just bought it...clocks in km/h etc.
They let me off.

 

Sorry for jumping on this one,but did you notice the difference in the power between the two machines back to back.

 

Yes, sorry about the thread jack.
Yes, torque really.
