Hi everyone

I just found this community when I was looking for MC-shops and motor events in the London area, would love some tips about stores or events :slight_smile:

I live in Sweden at the moment but will move to London in january 2011 as a step in my education.

hi and welcome to the LB :cool:
what bike shop are you looking for?

3

Thanks :slight_smile:

I’m not looking for a particular one, rather just any shop where I can find a new helmet and the range in general is ok :slight_smile:

4

well if you are looking to get cheap ones there is a shop in whitechapel jenice leather international but other wise there are loads of all other around :wink:

5

Quality is more important than the price, for me who is used to the prices in Sweden it will be cheaper anyway :slight_smile: How is it at these places, do they sell MC-related things just during the season or the whole year?

I will take a trip to JLI and see what they got :slight_smile:

Thanks to both of you :slight_smile:

Hi and welcome, I think you’ll find plenty of Bike shops in and around London, large chains ( http://www.hein-gericke.co.uk , http://www.infinitymotorcycles.com/ , http://www.jsaccessories.co.uk/ ) to name but three, and lots of other smaller stores. They’ll cater for all wallets :wink:

What do you ride?

Oh thanks :slight_smile: I will check them all out as soon as I can!

Anything other than horses :stuck_out_tongue: My current mc is a kawasaki gpx 600r (almost in my age :stuck_out_tongue: ) I thougt it would be unnessesary to start with a better one since I knowed that I probably would taste the ground with it - which I also did… Now I am looking for something better and with more cc for the summer 2011 :slight_smile:

What kind of mc do you ride?

11

I’m a bit of a VFR whore, two 750s (an '87 FK and a '95 FS) but at the moment I’m mostly riding my other half’s 400, small but perfectly formed V4 loveliness.

No substitute for a good piece of kit.

14

Thanks :slight_smile: No, that’s just stupid.

15

Nice to know Sweden hasn’t changed, and it’s still very expensive! lol

16

What do you mean with that Sweden hasn’t changed?:unsure:

17

He’s just saying that it’s still as expensive as when he was over their last… :wink:

Welcome to LB! :smiley:
