Motorcycle Sales significantly down in May!

So the UK recession is biting. According to figures released by the MCIA (Motor Cycle Industry Assocation), sales of powered two wheelers in the UK fell by a whopping 13.2% in May compared to May last year.

The MCIA say "This is in line with a general fall in high street spending, with consumers being very careful about how they spend their money. We are all feeling the pinch with high taxation, increasing household bills and the credit squeeze."

However amongst this bad news there is some good news, moped sales increased by 47%!

Ride safe
