Store Reviews

Great experience

Jul 10, 2025 by Daniel

I am a new rider that had my cbt coming up so a few days before hand I went to the reading stoor to buy some boots and a helmet. I was in the shop about 10 minutes and found it starting to get overwhelming as soon as I realised I had no idea what I should be looking for. This is when a Yong lad called Dean come over and completely transformed me experience! Firstly from the moment we got talking I felt like I was in great hands as he talked me through so so many products with incredible knowledge. I tried on so much stuff until we fond the correct fit and style for me with no pressure what so ever. I think Dean is a absolute credit to the the reading shop and someone I was very fortunate to have had help me on the day. Thanks Dean

Leather motorcycle jacket purchase

Jul 4, 2025 by Julian Rimer

Great experience buying a leather motorcycle jacket - advert was highly detailed in words and pictures and reading many of the reviews helped me click the purchase button. Very pleased with the jacket fits well, comfortable and looks great and that smell of leather.

Always a good experience

Always a good experience, served by Damon at the Reading shop today. Offered help without being asked and when I wanted to wear the boots that I bought straight away he went out of his way to make sure that I could. The sort of customer service that is rare these days. Thank you…

Very fast service....

Very fast delivery and good communication from the courier. Very limited stock at the Reading outlet, hence the online order. Not great with prices either, always good to shop around...

FAQS

Is everything online available in-store?

Our stores have a very good selection of our most popular products, and for everything else you can use our ‘Try on or Buy’ system to have the items shipped to store ready for your arrival. Providing it’s in stock online, it’ll be there next day in-store for you, 7 days a week - no payment required, and we’ll let you know when it lands. It’s that simple!

*Can you fit my intercom for me?

As a helmet specialist, we’re happy to advise on the fitting of an intercom for your new helmet, and we’re also happy to do the fitting for you when timing allows – please just bear with us at peak times as you may need to leave it with us! Alternatively, you can always schedule a drop-off with us so we can ensure we have plenty of time to help. Please note though, that fitting new intercoms to older helmets is not always possible, as there may be compatibility issues that can lead to damage being caused during the fitting process. We also ask that your helmet is thoroughly cleaned prior to us fitting your intercom.

Can I check if an item is in stock before visiting a store?

Yes! Our website will tell you if an item is in stock at a store. To avoid disappointment, you can also send items to any store to ‘Try on or Buy’. Most items, if available at our warehouse, can be delivered to store next day. No payment required!
