Alun Parry - Streetbike "Track Stars" 2010 Champ.


The Streetbike "Track Stars" Fantasy Road Race league came to a spectacular finale last month and the season champion was Alun Parry of Thunder Road Motorcycles in Bridgend. Wales premier Boatian and Cheng-Shin dealers.

Alun, wins a replica helmet of his choice as well as £50 of Streetbike gift vouchers. In this case a £600 Arai RX7-GP helmet in the colours Brit WSB ace Cal Crutchlow.

Alun (39), seen here on the right, receives his prize from Mike "Chunky" Ridley (21, no fixed skin condition) - Thunder Roads clothing director.

Parry was delighted with his prize but admitted he will probably put it on ebay and use the funds to change his nationality, by deed poll, from Welsh to English. "You can only live the lie for so long" he said.

Likewise, Ridley was most taken with the helmet. "Its the prettiest thing. Pretty, pretty, pretty" Then licked it.

Praise indeed.

Yamaha Prices Rise from 1st January 2011

If you've been thinking of a New Yamaha...now might be good.

Yamaha will be increasing new bike prices by an average of 3.4% across the range from Jan 1st. The extra 2.5% VAT increase on the 4th puts that average up to nearer 5% for all of us.

It's not all gloom though...

If you can buy your 2011 bike in the next month there are some amazing savings to be made. Even more so if you can do it before the 13th December - until then there's 5 years 0% finance on XJ6's and 3yrs 0% on nearly everything else.

A full list of affected models is available here but the headliners are:

  • YZF-R1 will be £13500 up from £12600 our current sale price is £11500 so that's a saving of £2000 and until 13th Dec you can get it on 3yrs 0% finance or have free Aki cans !

  • MT01 will be £12950 up from £12600 our current sale price is £10600 so that's a saving of £2350 plus you get Free Monster paintwork.

  • FZ1SA will be £11,100 up from £10,500 our current sale price is £8500 so that's a saving of £2600 1 only and until 13th Dec there's 3 yrs 0% APR available.

  • XJ6N will be £6100 up from £5500 so that's a saving of £600 and until 13th Dec there's 5 YRS 0% APR Finance available.



So, if you've been looking at a new Yamaha but haven't made the move yet, whether it be at Streetbike or any other Yamaha dealer, you might want to have a look at it sooner rather than later.

As ever, winter is a bit of a rubbish time to ride a bike but....a bloody good time to buy one.

Hope this is useful and you know where we are if you need anything. We are holding all our sale prices until the 4th Jan or 'til stock sells out whichever comes sooner.

Come in and fill yer boots. It will be great to see you. Cafe's open. Coffees on
