Great motorcycle clothing shop, lots of brands to chose from and very knowledgeable staff assisting. I particularly want to say thank you to Martin Short who served me.
I first called in on a Sunday morning looking for a new bike jacket. I tried numerous jackets on before deciding on a Merlin Solitude Jacket. Unfortunately my size was not on the peg so I explained to Martin that I was only visiting the UK for a few days and he quickly made a few phone calls to order me the jacket in my size. Sure enough a few days later he had my jacket. Extremely efficient service. Very pleased.

Martin helped my sister get her first set of gear, helmet, boots, jacket and trousers. Was extremely patient and understanding with her and very helpful in getting her what she needed to start out with.

Popped in to find out where the “reset” button was on my intercom. Came out with a new fitted pinlock, cleaned and serviced helmet and informative banter with Pierre. So just the usual brilliant customer service!. And it’s that which keeps companies like Bike Stop at the top of their game. See you again soon !

I visited yesterday to speak to someone about intercoms. After a brief chat with Martin, he recommended that I bring my helmet in to see how bulky etc different models were and the kind of fit I would get. I came in today, and Martin had arranged for James to help me out. After looking at a few different options, I decided on the Cardo Edge.
After testing it out earlier, it is in a league of its own in comparison to the others that I have tried.
I just wanted to thank Martin, James and the team for their great customer service and product knowledge as ever!
Monica was fantastic for the duration of my visit too as I had my young daughter with me and she was thoroughly looked after!!
Thank you all!

We are very sorry about this and I do hope all our other reviews indicate just how we normally look after customers. I don't want to make any excuses about how busy we were because shop customers are critical to us and that is why we offer extras like a Cafe and over 25 events a year. All I can do is apologise again and learn from your feedback. I do hope you will give us another chance.
Thanks
Martin

Second time i have been to the shop, really friendly staff. Purchased a Hornet ADV helmet 5 minutes before closing on a sunday and James could not have been more helpful, he fit the pinlock and my intercom for me saving me a righ FAFF, what a ledge. Highly recommended place to visit for any biking gear.

I've been a customer for over 20 years but moved to the North of Scotland last year. I was back in the area for work and visited on Sunday just as they were closing. I told the staff how far I'd travelled and that I wanted some Dainese Gortex trousers. They kept the shop open for me and let me try some on. I've now got some Gortex to keep me warm and dry when back at home. Next time I'm in the area I'll make sure I've got more time to browse. Excellent clothing, brilliant service and knowledgeable helpful staff. Highly recommended
