We have been working with Lukas Distribution to support the UK import and distribution of the iconic BSA Gold Star motorcycle. The heritage brand has been available since the start of 2023 and to help facilitate product reaching UK dealerships, Lukas Distribution approached us to see if it could help provide support from a financial perspective. We set up a six-figure floorplan facility which means we make upfront payments to Lukas Distribution on a dealer’s behalf, when the vehicles are delivered. The dealers then pay us when the assets are sold to the end user, which helps them maintain their cashflow position and focus on sales.

Digitally Charged is a marketing specialist within the motorcycle industry and works with some of the biggest industry names.
Multiple proven data sets not only identify motorcyclists, but also those who ride specific types of motorcycle, such as an adventure bike, sports bikes and scooters, to name but a few. We can work with budgets of any size to help your business reach new audiences, build brand awareness and push product sales. Campaigns can be switched on at dealer level, national level or even overseas to capture every potential target.
Using cross platform data sets to inform target audiences and reach the right people for your brand, we’re sure we’ll drive an excellent return on investment for your business.
The motorcycle license market in the UK is niche. It is not like the car market, so it is key that when planning a marketing campaign, you
exclude any ‘wastage’. In order to run a successful campaign, you need accurate data to reach your target audience, which is what we do as a business.
“Since starting my position at Digitally Charged I’ve spoken to new and existing clients to try and find out where they struggle with digital, or to find out what type of data they wish they had to use for their marketing,” says Ben Langford, head of client management. “By doing this we’ve been able to build more specialist data across key e-commerce platforms that is not just to do with selling metal, but also those all-important accessories and add-ons that top up that purchase.”
Some of these include product purchase data and the ability to run ads against sales on Amazon. “Amazon has such
a huge reach across the UK, it’s the perfect place to gather targeting data from,” says Chris Day, owner of Digitally Charged. “Whether people are buying specific motorcycle helmets, gloves, leathers or accessories, we can identify those who are buying products relevant to your offerings and serve them with digital ads across their internet activity. If someone buys a £800 full-face Arai, we can drop them into an affluence category; if someone buys an adventure helmet, then we can drop them into a pot as an adventure bike owner. The profiling goes on and on.”
Amazon data is perfect for finding people who are searching/bidding/purchasing specific motorcycle types, which can then expand into lookalikes. Maybe someone has bought a new café racer and then they go onto Amazon to purchase a Bell
Did you know you can reach hundreds of thousands of motorcyclists in the UK for less than you think?

helmet and a pair of John Doe jeans. Digitally Charged can target these people and send adverts to the sites they view, into their social media feeds and even onto YouTube and TV.
In a similar fashion to Amazon data, Digitally Charged also has access to eBay data where we can request custom audiences based on a search/bought/bid or watching scenario, or use contextual browsing data to target specific types of content.
All these audiences can be included or excluded from a campaign to ensure we don’t serve ads to people who have already purchased.
“And it’s not just digital ads that we do.
We do everything from SEO, PPC, TV, radio, cinema, direct mail, print, in-store point of sale and more,” says Langford. “We also have a world-class design team who can create animated ads that look fantastic as well as in-house video editing. We’re a one-stop shop.”
Digitally Charged can help your business grow. Whether it’s pushing sales or building brand recognition, we are experts in the industry and trusted by many household names. With a huge amount of data available, and a great looking creative, you can be sure to run a successful
Digitally Charged has several positive testimonials and has been the main marketing agency for Ducati over the last five years, working both internationally, nationally and at a local dealer level. If your business is looking for marketing experts who understand the industry, and ride bikes themselves all year round, then get in touch with Digitally Charged today and see what you’ve been missing out on! n
Fowlers has increased the number of franchises handled to 21, providing the trade with the largest choice of genuine parts in the UK.
Add to that NGK spark plugs and Silkolene lubricants, and the possibility to combine orders with clothing and accessory brands from The Key Collection, and dealers can find almost everything they need under one roof.
Fowlers has entered a dual distribution agreement with the Piaggio Group, covering Aprilia, Derbi, Gilera, Piaggio, Vespa and running parts for Apé trucks.
Along with Triumph and KTM, all four Japanese manufacturers are covered – Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha – plus GasGas, Husqvarna, and Husaberg.
BSA appointed Fowlers as agents for their genuine parts earlier in the year, and with Royal Enfield spares added to the line-up, total availability is approximately one million items across all the brands handled.
On top of which, parts from Mutt motorcycles and the allelectric Zero and Super Soco machines can be obtained if required.
When you need advice, experienced staff are on hand to answer your questions during business hours. Phone
t:0117 977 8899 e:trade@fowlers.co.uk w:www.fowlersparts.co.uk
calls, emails and online chat are all dealt with by the same team, so you can get the help you need without being passed from pillar to post.
Next working day delivery to most UK destinations is available on all orders placed before 6pm, and this is free when the value is more than £300. For less urgent lower value orders there is an economy two-day delivery option. All deliveries can be tracked, and you can even sign up to receive free notifications, sent automatically by text or email.
Sometimes parts, accessories and clothing orders aren’t needed immediately, and Fowlers’ unique Hold File has become popular with busy workshops. It can be used to collect orders, or parts for a particular job, which can then
working on a machine, or simply when the goods are required. This avoids storage issues, as well as the danger of parts getting misplaced in the workshop or even used for other jobs.
Orders are processed using an automated picking system and warehouse operatives use barcode scanners, which help to ensure your orders are supplied correctly.
Should you need any of the market-leading clothing and accessory brands from The Key Collection – including Weise, Duchinni, Premier helmets, Kovix and Gear Gremlin – these can be combined with parts orders, saving you time and delivery costs. n
With 45 years’ experience in the industry, the GIVI name has become synonymous with high quality, value-for-money motorcycle luggage and accessories. The aim from the beginning was to blend Italian design with strong technical know-how and an indepth knowledge of motorcyclists’ needs. The company still works by these values today, undergoing constant research to develop new materials and technologies that result in the best quality end product.
GIVI’s product range has grown to include hard and soft cases, top cases, bags and rucksacks, and technical accessories –including a vast range of modelspecific products. GIVI has pioneered and patented some of the most innovative luggage solutions available on the market today. An example of this is the new MAXIA 5 and the Canyon and X-Line ranges for adventure and touring motorcyclists, which will be expanded with new products in 2023.
The MAXIA 5 is a leap into the future. A multi-purpose top case with a 58-litre capacity that is at the top of its segment. Lighter and stronger than its precursor and with a sleek, futuristic design, it
storage space, thanks to the use of premium materials and the inclusion of a mat at the bottom, which prevents objects inside it from sliding around.
As for the Canyon range, this year GIVI presents the GRT723, a new soft top case, and the GRT724, a rear saddle bag. The GRT723, with a capacity of 40 litres, is equipped with a roll top closure, an adjustable upper flap, a mesh pocket and the classic extra-cargo fixing points featured by the M.O.L.L.E. system. As well as adjustable straps with clamp closure and additional straps with hook and loop closure.
On the other hand, the GRT724, even though it’s designed as a rear saddle bag, is also suitable for fixing to
an aluminium side case, within the spaces made available by the Canyon GRT721 bag base or with the GRT723. It has a maximum capacity of 12 litres and is equipped with a double roll top, fastening straps with Duraflex® cam buckles, a shoulder strap and two side handlers for easy carrying.
Meanwhile, the X-Line range has been extended with the addition of the XL08, a soft top case with a semi-rigid base that makes it compatible with the MONOKEY attachment system. It’s made of materials like 1680D/1200D polyester and TPU and has separate sections, with two side pockets, a shoe holder, an organiser and a rear mesh pocket. With an internal capacity of 40 litres, it’s equipped with a shoulder strap, two straps to secure the

This year sees the introduction of six new graphics, with an aesthetic characterised by the carbon effect that covers the shell. This helmet is made of technopolymer material and its removable interior is hypoallergenic. With 22-06 homologation, it’s equipped with micrometric fastening, two upper air vents and one on the chin guard, two rear extractors, nose guard, wind deflector and a clear visor compatible with the Pinlock Max Vision lens and another special visor (iridium mirrored) created in several versions to match the colours of the various ENIGMA versions.

This year marks the 15th anniversary of LS2 in the UK. The company is firmly established as market leader in the sub-£100 helmet sector and is now among the Top 10 premium brands. The dealer-direct supplier continues to grow its offering in the UK and worldwide. With a new range of clothing, gloves and boots, LS2 has your customers covered head-to-toe. Also available in 2023 is an industry first, the Aura Pro MX goggles with Pinlock. So not only has LS2 product quality increased, it’s also embracing new technology.
National sales director Paul Haskins has said that 2022 was not the easiest of years, yet both turnover and market share increased. The factory in China recently opened a new purpose-built garment division to help increase production and broaden the range, with jackets in both entry-level and high-end. The sub-£100 Sepang jacket will be a winner for new riders, while the laminated Titanium at £199.99 is unbeatable value. Delivery times will improve alongside the manufacturing process, which is great news for dealers.
LS2 is looking forward to another major year in 2023. It continues to offer an attractive range of ECE22.06 helmets, in new colourways, which are priced ultra-competitively to
the consumer and offer the dealer a great margin. There is no room for middlemen or wholesalers, which merely increase the prices to the customer and costs everyone margin. LS2 wants dealers to make a good profit from selling its products, which will encourage them to come back. The majority of dealers order through the LS2 B2B site, where they can check stock and order ‘out of hours’ as well as review invoices, delivery notes and make payments. It’s a great tool for dealers, who benefit from next-day delivery, assisted by a team of five dedicated agents covering the UK and
Ireland. The new UK 2023 brochure is already available and will be distributed to consumers using the digital targeting platform.
Key helmet models for 2023 include the entry-level Rapid, the Explorer for the Adventure Sport sector, the Vector II C (a full-face carbon model) and Storm, a mid-price sport

touring helmet. Advant-X and Advant-C (the only 180-degree flip-front helmets to feature a full carbon chin piece) will increase the company profile still further in the touring market. They will soon be available with LS2’s new built-in 4x Bluetooth system by Cardo. This system can also be purchased separately to fit some of its other helmets.
The extra comfort liner on all Advant models is made using laser-cut foam for an accurate fit. It is hypoallergenic and so is soft on the skin. Customers even get a helmet bag that converts into
“We were once recognised solely for entry-level product, but that mindset is changing rapidly, and we continue to push hard for 2023 and beyond,” says Paul Haskins. “We are now entering our fifth year in the BSB paddock and have had some top riders join us such as Jason O’Halloran (McAMS Yamaha), ex-world champion Danny Kent and the UK’s most successful Supersport rider, Jack Kennedy. This year they will all be competing in the Superbike class, with Billy McConnell and Dan Linfoot in Superstock. LS2 will be in the paddock at all BSB rounds. This has helped raise the brand’s profile in the past and will continue to do so with these top riders – and

“Investing in VoiceBox immediately delivered positive results. We only input customer information once, and it seamlessly takes care of the rest. Crucially, though, the enquiry customisation options mean customers feel valued and can find out more or get in touch at the click of a button. Digital-savvy consumers clearly prefer this type of interaction."
communications via one platform. Once a customer enquiry is logged in the dealer’s system, the prospect will receive personalised, automated keep-warm communications such as our ‘Bike Alert’ messages informing them of stock that closely matches their desired purchase. VoiceBox will auto-send interactive messages to ‘lost’ leads (those prospects where sales staff have determined a sale cannot be concluded) to determine if they are still in the market for a new bike – a helpful safety net considering 46% of ‘Lost Sale’ enquirers are still actively searching for the right bike, according to Marketing Delivery research.
t:01892 599916 e:hello@marketing.delivery w:www.marketingdelivery.com
After purchase, personalised customer interactions are maintained by the aftersales function of VoiceBox. When their bike is due a service or MOT, VoiceBox sends a dealerbranded automated message to remind the customer to make a booking. VoiceBox can also integrate with the DVSA database to double-check true MOT due dates (many tests were deferred during the pandemic, exacerbating existing database inaccuracies).
As a Keyloop Approved Partner,
VoiceBox can also push any updated data back into the dealer management system to maintain accurate records. Marketing Delivery only works in the automotive retail sector, supporting car, bike and van dealers, and frequently researches the sales and aftersales landscapes to ensure its products always support evolving dealer needs. n
“Over a week after the initial enquiry, our Bike Alert emails are delivering sales with an additional 6% conversion as new stock or price changes are automatically emailed to customers who haven't yet found their dream bike.”

One of the biggest insurance issues facing motorcycle dealers is the threat of underinsurance. This is not a new issue as studies have regularly found a large proportion of buildings are not insured for their correct value. However, with the recent level of inflation, particularly to building materials, this issue deserves close attention by any business that owns its own premises.
While sums insured are usually automatically indexlinked to inflation, this may not be enough to provide sufficient cover in the current climate, as it still may not factor in the total cost of completing a significant rebuild project. If your buildings insurance doesn’t cover the total reinstatement cost, and you need to make a claim, the pay-out may be insufficient – however large or small your claim amount. This is because the percentage you are underinsured by can be deducted from your pay-out, under the ‘average clause’ in the policy.
Your dealership has a current sum insured of £1.2m. A fire occurs which damages most, but not all, of the property. Insurers appoint loss adjusters who calculate the true rebuilding cost of the property to be £1.5m (in other words it was underinsured by 20%). The cost of the loss is calculated to be £500,000 but once the insurer applies the average clause the claim payment is reduced by the amount of underinsurance (20%) leaving the policyholder £100,000 short of the full repair costs.
Arrange a professional valuation of your property. This will ensure that your rebuild sum insured is accurate. We have partnerships with several RICS accredited specialists to offer either desktop based or on-site surveys of your premises to provide a suitable valuation and to
avoid underinsurance.
Engage with us early to discuss your cover requirements and any additional risks to ensure the terms sourced adequately meet your evolving business needs. If you take on more bikes, update us as soon as you can, and provide as close to the true value of your assets as you are able to.
Consider risk management support. Pro-active risk management is a key factor in insurers’ considerations. We provide tailored advice and support to help you reduce insurance costs and mitigate against any future risk. n
For a free review of your insurance arrangements, contact the Bike Dealer team around three or four months before your renewal. This will allow time to check that your current cover is possible and for us to get you the best possible terms. At PIB Insurance Brokers, we can help you understand the risks involved with underinsurance and how to make sure your motorcycle business is adequately insured.
