Anyone Know The Bike Dealers In Basildon ?

[KTMsm]

A bit of a strange question but Google suggests there are a few Bike Dealers in Church Road, Laindon but I think there's only one could anyone confirm it's name ?

It seems there was

Gordon Swift Motorcycles
Which seemed to become Swift Motorcycles
Which seemed to become Total Bike Bits and /or Marshalls Motorcycles

On Streetview I can only see one premises but I can't read it's name

Thanks

Used to be Swifty's not sure what it is now, more a repair/parts place though, Chucks was up at Whitmore Way but he's gone now, Wickford has an MOT/repair place, there's black art suspension up on the A130 he does all kinds of stuff.

Do you know when it closed are we talking 1, 5, 10 years ago ?

Blimey, I remember Chucks... When did they go?

Not sure when Swifty shut, I would guess 3-5yrs ago, but it is a guess.
Clive who had Chucks retired about 2 yrs ago, he was mainly doing scooters and parts in the end, I bought my RGV250 off him back in the day.

Lots of ends of eras. Julian Soper Motorcycles in Leigh on Sea recently retired. I bought my first big-bore kit and jack-up kit for my brand new DT50 back in 1990 from him... (As a scruffy 16 year old )
