I live just down the road, two major fires in a few days.

...Hope nobody was hurt either!

A serious amount of stock all gone up in smoke, lots of burnt out brand new Z1000's, ZX10's and a ton more brand new Kawasakis. Makeshift offices set up over the other side of the road so phone calls will be answered over the next day and makeshift internet will be up next day or so to answer emails.

Absolute carnage! A good amount of units have been set aside for some basic stock to come in next few days and a ghetto shop counter but the business will be drastically shrunk compared to what it once was. All staff are all ok though, which is the most important thing.

there'll be some special smoked visors for sale then :O

Busters and M&P were the same company, do we think they will merge into one now?

Busters closed their "shop" a while back and M&P had the only physical shop.
Shame, it (M&P) was only a couple of miles away from my father-in-laws and I always used to go in when we were down visiting.

Well, the Trumpet factory in Hinckley managed to pull through a major blaze, let's hope M&P do so as well.

Gutted, hope they don't go out of business.
