I’ve been told that Groombridge motorcycles (East Sussex) is closing in two days? Saturday?
A neighbour told me. I’ve searched and can only see a local Facebook group mentioning it; I don’t use Facebook.

Can anyone confirm or deny? I’d hate to spread an incorrect rumour.

Website looks fine, nothing on their phone system. I’m going to try and swing by tomorrow or Saturday.

Got my bike from them two to three weeks ago. I do all my own maintenance, so not the of the world, but they’ve been here years. I bought a bike off Mandy Groombridge, the original owner’s daughter.

So, is it not closing then?

You are not spreading a false rumour, my bike was at Groombridge for repairs but they delivered it back to me on Thursday because they are closing today.

Thanks. Yes, I confirm they close today. Went there this morning, wished Holly good luck with her future.

They did have a nice Royal Enfield showroom.
