1985

His next appointment was for Riders of Bridgwater in starting as a trainee, then a Kawasaki dealer, Riders took on the Harley-Davidson franchise shortly after where Andy found his true passion.

1996

Taking a leap of faith in the August of 1996, Andy set up on his own. Initially trading from a run down unit on the Wireworks. As fortunes and the business grew the move to the current site at East Quay came in 1999.

A Few Words About Us.........

Andy’s last position was a service manager at Riders of Bridgwater, the position lost some of its charm for Andy as he was keen to offer a more intimate friendly service for motorcyclists not focusing purely on new bike sales. We offer an affordable professional alternative from a dedicated enthusiastic team.

Of course we don’t just offer custom work, we offer the full range of services from high performance engine tunes to routine servicing, tyres and MOT work. We are dealers for many parts manufacturers and suppliers and offer comprehensive catalogues for each. You can preview all these from our links page. Also you can now shop online!

We now offer MOT testing on site and are sensitive to the needs of the custom motorcyclist and will be able to address any specification issues you may have. We are also conversant with SVA regulations and can assist with private imports and bike build requirements.

As well as supplying custom motorcycle parts, we can also help with: Chrome Plating, Powder Coating, Custom Paint, One off Fabrications, Custom Bike insurance. Feel free to CONTACT US
