complete bunch of wasters!
spent the best part of Saturday looking for a new Helmet, a back protector and new gloves..and maybe some Gay 2 piece black leathers
So with upto £1000 to spend..in I goes...totally ignored for 15 mins..the place was empty....eventually was asked if i needed help. Helmets? yeah we have them..and thats as far as the sales pitch went...so i just walked out.
so off i rides to Darlington to find hein gericke shop, no luck there 
end up at a bike shop in Redcar..had the visa stamped...which is only a few miles away from me..brill service on a helmet and gloves with good discounts..but no back protectors held in stock  ..but they were very helpful...forget the name tho

Surprised at that!!! I've always found them very helpful!! 70 miles 'tis but a nice run out plus the coffee when you get there.
BTW tis near 100mls for me!!! but worth it!!!

Redcar - probably Petite & France in Station Road - family business, been around for years - had a big showroom in the 80s/90s, but downsized a few years ago. Spent many an hour in there as a youngster! 
Tilsons - once gave a mates ZX9 a full service & new tyres before a trip to the South of France - when parked up next to my old S3 in Perpignan, we noticed that they had fitted the front tyre the wrong way round! Tossers! Big Kev is not a bloke to mess with - got full refund & new tyres on our return!

Same place - Teasdales.
Give em a ring.
The gaffer's called Andy Walker.

Mention me if you want?
You can get tyres changed at pretty much any National Tyres or ATS.
Personally tho, I prefer to trust my bike jobs with people who are bikers.
i.e. not ATS or NAtional Tyres
I've had major services done on the Triumph at Teasdales before mate.
No Problems, they've got all the right tools and a good couple of trusted honest mechanics there.
Courtesy bike or a lift off them to get me home and back too.
