We’d like to thank everyone for their patience and support – we can’t wait to welcome you through the doors and are confident you’ll agree it’s been worth the wait!”

A free prize draw will be running throughout the day with a chance to win an Arai RX-7V Corse V5 helmet, Ducati insurance voucher, and Muc-Off goodies among other prizes.
