Long shot, but would anyone have a Yamaha Dealer list from 1976 ?
Or, recall who the Yamaha dealers were in 1976 for Gloucester / Gloucestershire.
Trying to find out who supplied our bike.

The largest bike dealer in Gloucester which has been established since 1971 is Frazers of Gloucester , might be worth a try.

Thanks for the replies so far, much appreciated.
Peter Hammond Motorcycles ( sadly closed @ @ the begining of March ) were i believe Yamaha main agents from the late 1960s

Dave Parry Motorcycles were Yamaha in Cheltenham (Bought my LC there in 81) & I can think of 2 in Gloucester, Mead & Tomkinsons (sp?) and the other was in the Stroud road just as it splits from the Bristol road, possibly called Cotswold motorcycles but nothing to do with BMW dealer that exists today, there was a dealer in Cinderford too

Correct about Hammonds in Cirencester & Frasers were Kawasaki only in the early eighties. There was also a multi franchise dealer in Cheltenham called Williams but I don’t think they were Yamaha
