Closing down in July after 50 plus years in business.
Very sad.

How come? They seemed to be doing pretty well.

That's a shame, browsing in the shop window on my walk to work is always a pleasure.

BOB MINION LONDON ROAD SHOP CLOSURE


As many of you may already be aware, the Bob Minion Motorcycle shop located at 156–160 London Road, Derby is currently in the process of being sold. This has been common knowledge among many of our customers, but until now, we have been unable to provide firm details regarding timelines.



We are currently aiming to complete the sale and close the shop by 25th July 2025, but please note that this date is still provisional. We will issue a further statement confirming the closure date as soon as everything is finalised.



After we close the shop, we will be scaling down operations and continuing as a used-bike sales business on an appointment-only basis, operating from a private address. While this marks a significant change, we want to assure our valued customers that Bob Minion Ltd will continue trading, and we will be honouring any support and warranties on used bikes sold—both during this transition and moving forward.

Please note, however, that we will no longer be offering servicing or MOTs, or any kind of workshop facilities once our London Road shop is closed, we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.



We understand that many of our valued customers may have questions regarding aftersales support for Royal Enfield motorcycles purchased during our time as an authorised dealer. Please rest assured — your aftersales support contract has always been, and continues to be, directly with Royal Enfield. They will remain fully responsible for providing you with the support and service you may need moving forward. When we release our statement confirming our shop closure date, we will include clear guidance on who to contact for all aftersales queries, to ensure a smooth transition and continued peace of mind.



We would like to sincerely thank you for your custom and support over the years. It’s been a true privilege to have had a central hub where everyone could come together — a place that’s been at the heart of the Bob Minion family business for so long.



We’ve created countless great memories here, and we’ll always cherish the role this space has played in our journey. While it's bittersweet to move on, the time has come to turn the page and begin the next chapter in the Bob Minion story.



We appreciate your continued support and understanding during this transition.
