After working in a couple of Leicester bike shops in the 60’s and early 70’s, I started Chris Sharpe Motorcycles in July 1975.
The first day saw the sale of a purple FS1E (along with fully comp insurance at £6!)
In the 30 years since then I’ve sold and ridden virtually every bike you can think of, some 6000 so far, and almost every one of those has conformed to my original unchanged criteria – that if I wouldn’t want to own it myself, it doesn’t get into the shop. |
