Adventure motorcycle shop opening day, Dorking Surrey 26th

Please come along to our opening on the 26th march, this Sat. Perfect place to meet for your trail ride around Dorking/Boxhill. Should be doing a bbq etc.
Look forward to seeing you. Any questions please ask.

I appreciate your brochure says you're open on Sundays but can you confirm you will be open this coming Sunday?

I think the link has been 'modded', probably breached some advertising rules!

Rubbish!

I would love to go if I knew the address. Kudos for the shop! Bummer for the fool who removed the details.

Anyone know what it is? I look forward to visiting soon!

If this is the case it is indeed strange behaviour.
Not so long ago the same Moderator was promoting his own Ebay listings re-selling Swiss Vignettes that had been illegally used (thereby defrauding the Swiss Government) by stating on HUBB vignettes are required on all Swiss roads (incorrect!) and giving a link to his Ebay listing!

In answer to other posters above, look at this KTM site Adventure motorcycle shop opening day, Dorking Surrey 26th
or
Azcari Products > Azcari Limited

I declare no commercial interest in this event - just interest, as a sometimes adventure rider.

(Lets see how long this post remains unmodded!)

Hi all,

We're open Sundays or aim to be! Mainly morning-lunch time, depends if we want to go trail riding
Best bet is to give us a call before you set off on a Sunday!

I met a few people off the HUBB today(Wed) and Sat was good to see you all. We're just getting off the ground and welcome visits no pressure to buy opinions and ideas welcome!

Exciting stuff, I am pleased I took the time to go and scout out Azcari! It's great to have a local store that supplies all the goodies you may want/need. Gives you a genuine feel of what you're after, instead of mulling over pictures in a catalogue/website.

A1 excellent to the friendly approachable staff, and it's not just a shop to buy stuff. Anyhow, have a look for yourself!








Obviously, they're not all the way ready and still have some shelves to fill and stock to arrive. But be sure to be there for the 9th April, when the official opening is.
