Well fingers crossed all is OK for your sake I was worried about my trip to Germany in June but P&O have said we can move the dates and the hotel said we can do the same! Just hope the hotel doesn't go under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 We got a refund for a non refund allowed hotel, not sure how that worked, might have been down to Paris being shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mawsley Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 My annual conference trip to Poland was axed but I'd not stumped up for anything. I was due to pay for the flights and everything the week of lockdown, so I'm pretty happy about that. Bullet dodged.I reckon you're right, Stu, many others will surely follow unless they open up. That's the thing I don't understand, a load of dealers are still functioning and delivering bikes in a van - I don't get why all of them aren't doing this because a) they're allowed to, and b) they need to keep cash flowing in somehow. If dealers operate safe distancing at work there's no reason not to have a van collecting machines for servicing or delivering sales.If Pure go under then it's only £500 lost on the Tiger, I can swallow that. I'll be miffed, but once I've paid for things it's always dead money in my mind. Here's hoping you're OK with the van, Bender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgrump Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Farewell 3X Motorcycles. Bought two bikes from them back in the day - but COVID has sent them to the wall. 520E9163-67CE-4C89-BD5B-2EE9C30454B9.jpeg Hi [mention]Mawsley[/mention] , we were talking about 3X yesterday when getting my MOT done, I no it's a shame, and I have spent many a hour over there buying spare parts, but i don't think it was all about the COVID virus!!I believe it had some think to do with losing the Triumph Dealership. But yes another Dealership gone from down here.Just glad my old MOT place keeps ticking away!!!And as for Refunds, we were stuck in Madeira when it all kicked off!! And Easyjet cancelled are flights home!!!So after 2 days managed to book flights with BA, then 2 days later Easyjet decided to pick us all up!! So now have Vouchers from BA for £800 of flights which have to be taken within 12 months of the original flights!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onesea Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Not surprised 3x one of the first to fall. My experience with them was not great, the bike sales / work shop across the way must be worried.I hear Cresent have picked up the Triumph dealership but not seen it confirmed..
