I frequent Harley Guildford and it's just round the corner. I never knew it was there - cheers!
Me either! Thanks for the steer, The Moose.

Amazing. Is there anything that isn't near, The Moose?

You also have Newlands Corner which is pretty close by. They have cracking milkshakes there.

In fact, that's what Motolegends is missing - fking good milkshakes smile

I was in at the weekend. Everything you say is correct. I wanted a replacement for my belstaff trialmaster which has a few holes. I tried multiple sizes and colours and ended up with new snaeffel in black and a size smaller. Very helpful.

I was also rather taken with a lovely rokker leather jacket, perhaps the one you mention. Lovely but a bit pricey for an impulse purchase!

It was sorely tempting to go on a spending spree. Lots of things I didn't need at all....

Moose, I think it was the "street" jacket as it was definitely black not brown, although that one looks good. Lovely leather and cut on these jackets. Sorely tempted

It's pretty much "Park your Hinkley Bonneville here" outside.
Hmm, so in no time at all they'll be sponsoring The Bike Shed (If they're not already). The Bike Shed and Triumph are joined at the hip. At least, that's how it appears, The Moose.

The cut is such that I can wear it as a normal jacket - the armour just can't be seen; same thing goes for the Revolution jeans; it's pretty hard to tell.

Bought a Bell Bullitt Roland Sands Design lid and a Helstons Ace jacket and gloves from them a couple of months ago. They spent plenty of time with me even after their official closing time, and yes, tea and coffee constantly on offer. Working CD jukebox and plenty of stock means it's a nice place to spend some time once you've outgrown the power ranger phase. Highly recommended.

Is it only tea and coffee, or do they also offer beers, The Moose?

As a new rider, I visited Motolegend for my first helmet (settled for a Nolan N44 because of the huge view port). The chaps were extremely helpful and explained what was important without being pushy.

I need some winter gloves and will be paying them a visit this week.

I'm not sure they can because of the regulations. Can they do it, or are they hamstrung by governmental overseers, The Moose?

It's quite reasonable to be concerned though. If you drink too many, then before you can get back on your bike you'll have to sit in the shop and wait until the alcohol-induced haze clears, The Moose.

Exactly. And then you've all sorts of legal ramifications to deal with as a result. It's probably best if 'clear' is the direction everyone steers, The Moose.

Go on then, I'm biting like a goat on cheese.

Anyway, if your talking alcohol in Surrey, it should be Martini or something equally classy, Ver Moouth.

In actual fact, it's a policy to which we should try to ensure that everyone adheres, The Moose.
