i was having trouble with my scooter,kept cutting out and could do with a service so i thought i would try this place.
i booked it in for tuesday but said can i drop it out on the monday and leave it there for the night, no problem he said. i dropped it out about 3pm on the monday.... by 6pm on the monday i had a phone call to say it was all ready!
ideal, done a day early and he said the problem had been sorted, whilst on the phone he said i could do with a new rear tyre and brake pads so i said go for it and he fitted them for me. he already had the break pads in stock so gave them to me trade price so saved me a couple of quid.
my front shock had gone a few months ago,bouncing all over the place but i wasnt really too bothered about it,when i went to pick the scoot up he said he had a second hand one which i could have for free if i wanted to pick it up next week, not many bike garages would say that!
he was a nice chap to speak to and done it all fairly cheap and gave me a free front shock!!

at the same time my mate and his dad took a 996 to have an electrical problem sorted out which he done in no time at all and also a gsxr 600 to have two new tyres fitted.
after fitting the tyres he found that the front spindle had siezed so he asked him if he wanted him to sort that out, my mate said yes so off he went and started doing that. he used some type of stuff to free it up and said it would take a while to set in so prefered if he left it there for a couple of hours, unfortunately my mate needed the bike for work so couldnt really leave it.
the bloke turned round and said thats ok,you can take my bike (zx6r) and drop it back to him when he picks the gsxr up!!

he really seems to look after the customers, great advice and alot cheaper than many places about.
im definately going to be using them again and i would recommend them to anybody with anybike needs.

He deserves all the good publicity he can get by the sounds of it!!!!

Top line!!

Does he MOT bikes with dodgy sounding cans (Termignoni's!).

My original cans were "liberated" so much they have fallen apart, so i've only got the Termi's!!!

He's been Mot'ing our bikes for a while now, certainly worth taking your bikes to him for MOT, servicing and repairs.

just popped down there as i needed to get some dodgy bolts out which attached my igniton barrel to my top yoke, he got straight on the case, apparently they were some security type bolts so he got his drill out,drilled them out and got a bolt extractor machine and took the remaining bits out.
done it for free and straight away,quality!

Bloody hell, maybe SP should read this thread

I've bought a couple things from JC motorcycles and have been really pleased with them in the past, like my whole boot fiasco, they sorted it no problem.

Great guys and a good shop, they're on my ebay favourites permanently.
