What riders say
Trusted local repairs — from engine rebuilds to brake work.
“Recently has some issues with my brakes, and with this issue of course safety is of the highest concern. Paul at A55 Motorcycles, stripped, refurbished and rebuilt my entire brake system with skill and care. What can I say, when you’re on 2 wheels safety is everything and trust in your mechanic needs to be absolute. I can honestly say I have found my mechanic! Wouldn’t take or trust my bikes anywhere else.”
“Paul did an excellent job on my Honda CBR400RR NC 29 full engine rebuild/rings ect thanks. Highly recommended to anyone.”
“Brilliant service over the past few years with Paul sorting various problems occurring with my two bikes, a 1976 BMW R90S and 1971 Triumph Daytona. Highly recommended for a first class and friendly service. A+++++”
