Hein Gericke gone into Administration

doh ! · Clubman A

Tis a shame but they wont be the last im afraid its still tough times out there and trying to compete against internet prices doesnt help

Simmo · Expert

Not the end of, only administration not bankcruptcy or an invasion of Austria. Might bring the prices down...

potus · Clubman A

Bit of a surprise!, quite like the quality of their gear, bit expensive though. Normally only buy during their sales or offers

Closer to home -

Might be worth reconsidering discounts at local dealers, 10% today, worth bugger all if forced to close

I've recently had an e-mail from Hein Gericke saying that they're back in business,

Quality kit though but Rukka is better and even more expensive. No shop is too posh for a biker dripping mud and water.

Where are the best deals on Rukka as I just worked out my jacket is 17years old ?

If memory serves me right that one's about 10 years old, but not an issue. Let me know if you want to part with it?

I hadn't realised just how expensive Rukka kit is - it can still leak though!

I was over in Ireland at the beginning of June biking with a friend who lives there.

He has a Rukka suit yet still, like the rest of us, had to resort to making a kilt out of bin liners to wrap his waist and groin in in a vain attempt at keeping the incessant rain out cry

Cheers,

John

Some stores have gone back in business but a great deal haven't. The Plymouth store didn't reopen. Think nearest is Southampton now!!
