at George White Motorcycles, Gary
Vardy has decided to set up on
his own.

to become my own boss so I could
offer bike servicing and repairs at
competitive prices, as well as being
able to get to know my customers,”
said Gary. “Bikes are so complex
nowadays that owners need confi -
dence that they are getting quality
maintainence. After all they’re an
expensive investment.”
Bikes tuned by Gary have won
many titles over the years and he
currently race prepares motorcycles

ships circuit.
