2024-02-29 - More New Arrivals in the Showroom
This week, two Fantastic Ariel Leaders have arrived here at Farkham Hall Stores. They are both to be sold on as projects as both need work, but they represent a great opportunity to own a true piece of British motorcycling history.The great news is that they are complete, original and unmolested in any way. Only time and neglect have caused them to be in need of work.
The red one has 47K miles and seems to have a seized engine, but is otherwise in fair condition. The blue one has just 3,500 miles on the clock and has the luggage pack of panniers and top box bed. Both have some rust on the bodywork and the chrome on exhausts and wheel rims is in need of refurbishment, the red one somewhat more so than the blue one. The only way to evaluate the true potential of these lovely bikes is to call in at our Chepstow showroom and take a look. We are here Tuesday to Sunday 10am to 6pm. If you are too far away, keep an eye on this page for more pictures and information, when my camera comes back from repair…

2023-07-29 - Coming Soon! Lovely, Original Condition 1961 Royal Enfield Crusader 250
Royal Enfield 250cc Crusader, 1961, Great Original Condition, Lots of History. Very good condition for its age with a patina that adds to its charm. Unrestored and original, apart from the addition of indicators (easy to remove for the purist) and LED bulbs. There is a small dent on the right hand side cover where the kickstart has been springing back to make contact.The bike hasn't been ridden since its last MOT owing to the owner's less than perfect health, and there is a wealth of history with the bike including old MOTs, service receipts and a workshop manual, owners manual and parts book.
The bike starts on first or second kick, sounds sweet, without rattles, smoke or oil leaks. Viewing here at the Farkham Hall Showroom in Chepstow is by appointment and highly recommended. Payment terms are £250 deposit paid on successful completion of auction with balance in cash on collection please.

The Next Chapter Begins
Day one, the new adventure begins. The gods of music have looked down kindly upon us as the scheduled concert by Lewis Capaldi has been cancelled, so people will be able to move around in and about Chepstow today.The showroom is ready to go, with just a few key items still to source before the celebration opening day in a week from now. At least we have seven days in which to practice and make sure everything is right for our visitors. I hope that you will be included in their number, and are not too far away to join in the fun. The Discount Darts and Scalextric Sidecar Challenge need all the entrants they can get!
Other than that, catering will be courtesy of the legendary Sally from the Rose and Crown in Tintern, whose darts night spreads are still fondly remembered by all who experienced them.
The aim is to be the go-to place in Chepstow for anything from a Jubilee Clip to a complete new biker wardrobe and eventually bike to go with it. Product labelling and descriptions are all laced with a healthy dose of trademark Farkham Hall schoolboy smut, inuendo and humour. Buying bits for your bike should be fun too.
Pop in and see us on the 8th for a cuppa, bun and good old fashioned chinwag on our favourite subject, bikes of all sorts. We hope you enjoy the day and become a regular visitor, both to the showroom and our online presence for more of the same.
