We've spotted a new business advertising on Facebook today, specialising in 2-stroke servicing, tuning, sales and MOT's, called, erm, "Different Strokes Bikes." They're in Lancashire.
IT'S NOTHING TO DO WITH US.
We know nothing about them - they may be brilliant or they may be a bunch of lazy ripoff merchants. Time will tell.
Use them by all means, let us know what you think, post your findings on here. We're all for a new successful venture with the same specific interests as us obviously, we just wish they'd shown a bit of bloody imagination with their name. ![Evil or Very Mad](images/smiles/icon_evil.gif) |

Take it as a compliment.
Its clearly a rip off but then your brand is the original and best.
If they become mega successful they may want to buy you out for £millions

If emulating the 80's TV series "Different Strokes" about an inept painter decorator they may have made a big marketing mistake ....! _________________ If it don't ring-a-ding-ding it ain't worth a thing |

I think you're thinking of 'brush strokes' emzedder.
Different strokes was an American sitcom about two adopted (ah, what is the term nowadays?) black/coloured kids living with a white/colour neutral family & it was shit. |
