Can anyone recommend a fair priced decent bike mechanic in these areas - my bike (2010 Triumph Street Triple R) needs new fork seals (had them hard chromed a couple of years back and the seals have gone - probably from sitting around). I'd also like the bike MOTd and checked over by someone more qualified than me for general peace of mind. Is Keith Manning near Wokingham still any good? Thanks

I know the guy who runs Mel's Motors in Bracknell. He's good and very trustworthy. https://melsmotors.co.uk/

I used to use Keith Manning for MOTs, but I think the original guy is long retired, not sure what it's like now.

I've taken the CRF to Just Motorcycles on the west side of Basingrad a few times. Decent lot but I've yet to have em do anything more than mot my KTM 1290. Thought I may soon as my KTM dealer keeps forgetting how/whether to put the bike back together properly.

I might take a look at Mel's now!

From personal experience I'd be using

They did great work on my VFR for a job I didn't want to do.

They also did it within 36 hours of me asking - unlike the usual moaning every other mechanic does when you ask for work to be done sometime this decade....

Used Just motorcycles to mot my 748, seemed like a decent bunch

I've used Gary at GS Motorcycle Tyres in Wokingham for several years and always has a good, friendly service.

They do servicing and MOTs as well as tyres.
