RAS 142 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I do not service my bike myself I pay to have it done. Once Out of warranty I find a bike garage to service and repair but good ones are hard to find. I have recently used TC Motorcycles Chesterfield ( Lee) he’s really good with NCT DCT too. Highly recommended if anyone local to chesterfield needs an independent bike garage. Cheers 7 2 Link to post
steelhorseuk 1,690 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Here is another to add to your thread. Independent Honda trained motorcycle mechanic Ryan at RJB in Buckingham. RJB Motorcycles | Motorcycle MOT, Servicing, Tyres, Repair, Sales Nice bloke, no BS! I have no affiliation. Just helped me out without hassle! 1 1 Link to post
Rocker66 34,464 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 One more for the list is Tom at Z Shed Ashford who we now use for our bikes that are out of warranty. He serviced my 125 Monkey and it came back as a much improved bike and all at a sensible price. He uses genuine parts for which ever bike he is servicing. A straight talking guy who is always willing to help. 2 Link to post

RAS 142 Posted November 13, 2023 Author Share Posted November 13, 2023 Great news that others are making recommendations we ought to have a directory cos the best mechanics tend to be those who are recommended … if the list grows I will compile a list for distribution if anyone asks … if that’s fine by Ted that is 4 Link to post
count von count 118 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Malcolm at Kingray motorcycles in Leyton E10 up That London gets my vote. As a general all round good honest knowledgeable mechanic anyway. Plus he hires out bikes to couriers so knows his way around an NC700 / 750 very well indeed. Thoroughly highly recommended. 1 Link to post
Whiterose 83 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Dave West aka Baldrick at Motofix, Otley, LS21 3HX Very knowledgable and helpful. Link to post
Tatts 672 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Place near me, called RTT Motorcycles. Hoyland Common, Barnsley, South Yorks. When you walk into the shop, the doorstep is worn. There's an old fashioned bell that rings when the door opens. There's products for sale everywhere. It has a smell that you never get in modern automotive shops. To the side & rear is the workshop. Oily rags and pots of grease. Tools hanging from the walls. A proper old school workshop. A few modern machines awaiting attention, but more older bikes. There's a superb cafe a short walk away. Their breakfasts are amazing! https://www.rttmotorcycles.co.uk/ 1 Link to post
jeremyr62 2,560 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Good to hear these places still exist. When I first started riding in London in 1983 there were quite a few bike shops like that. Link to post
Xactly 5,432 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Yes, mechanics rather than technicians work at those. A dying breed, I’m afraid. Link to post
