Lunch for 2 in the Ocean Cafe awaits the Ocean ROC 'er' who can correctly identify the bike from the picture shown.
If it helps, the bike was parked outside of our Dealership today...........
Good luck!

1st Ride Out

A big thank you to all who attended the first Ocean Ride Out to Falmouth on Sunday 21st.

I think the weather helped tremendously, certainly everyone I spoke to seemed to be enjoying themselves and the Fish & Chip shops & Ice cream parlours were very glad to see us!

Please post any comments and photos of the day.

Technician Vacancy

Technician Wanted

-9 - 5 er

-needn't be fully skilled

-no responsibilities

-customers not really a concern

-tea breaks and lunches guaranteed

-get away on the dot

Interested?

Then apply somewhere else!!!!

I am looking for a skilled technician who shares the same work ethic that puts customers first, whatever the time on the clock! Someone who is hungry for success, eager to put in the hours to ensure the company succeeds, who is capable of rattling through the work but with an attention to detail and a quality focus that is second to none. If you already work in the industry, I need you to sell me around 6-7 hours a day, with still enough energy to be a full team member, be nice to the rest of the team around you and share the same vision for the future. If this sounds like you, I want to talk to you. Call 01752 202828 and ask for Peter. I intend to test you at the interview so only call if you are not a run of the mill technician, I am looking for someone who has a place in the future, not the past. Dinosaurs need not apply.

Free to collector!

We always have masses of timber after decrating new BMW Motorcycles. At the moment it gets taken to the 'tip' and recycled but I figured there might be one or two of you who would find this useful and just to help, I have compiled of short list of suggested uses.....

-fuel for your wood burner
-shed making
-boat building
-bonfire night
-annoying your wife

Whatever you decide you can do with this or if you know someone who would like it, just COME AND GET IT!!!!! Obviously you'll need a trailer or a van....................


A big thanks to Chris who came and spirited away a whole trailer full of wood today (see picture) but we were so tempted to strap a few more pallets on your roof rails whilst you were eating lunch!

1st Ride Out


1st Ride out

-Sunday 21st June

-Meet at Ocean Plymouth 9.00am for coffee

-Departing approx 9.30am

Heading towards Falmouth for lunchtime where you'll be free to do some sight seeing, grab a bite to eat or perhaps use the unique 'Park & Float'
service and sail in a classic ferry to The Maritime Museum which is playing host to a major new exhibition telling the story of history's most famous ship and her tragic sinking.

Titanic Honour and Glory is a powerfully moving and evocative show which depicts the tragedy of the giant vessel that sank on April 15, 1912. The exhibition features many rare artefacts from Titanics passengers and crew including a silver pocket watch that stopped working at 02.28am, the exact time the Titanic slipped beneath the icy waters of the Atlantic. Cornwalls connections to the tragedy have also been revealed with new objects, stories and photographs previously unseen before. The exhibition also brings a bit of Hollywood to Falmouth with a number of props and costumes from the James Cameron blockbuster Titanic. Entrance fee to this exhibition is £8.75.

From here we'll be winding our way back towards Plymouth taking in some more fantastic scenery and great biking roads.

Please let me know if you are coming!

See you soon
