A FAMILY-owned motorcycle firm was judged top dealer in the North-west by readers of Ride magazine.
The Marsden Road business was the highest-rated regional dealer in the Rider Power 2001 survey, scoring well for attitude, workmanship, atmosphere and knowledge.
It was established in 1961 by owner Alan Smallshaw and two partners.
The Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha dealership started off in Atherton and moved to Deansgate, Bolton in 1975, transferring to its present location three years later.
Mr Smallshaw's son David, who manages the Bolton shop, said: "It shows that we are doing the job right."
