Classic Motorcycles Newcastle

[trevinoz]

Has anyone dealt with this dealer?
I have inquired about some used parts and have received a reply but the e-mail address on the reply is apparently on some sort of blacklist.
This is Newcastle on Tyne by the way, not my home town.

Hi Trev, I had a look at his website and phoned the number , answered by a cheerful type who was quite happy to chat which is always a good start.He said he Could ship to oz but obviously mentioned the cost of posting. Hope thats of some help , Bob

  Just had a quick look.  Looks like a time warp traditional old motorcycle shop from the 1950's.  I can almost smell the oil soaked into the floorboards.

   Looks like the guy has just been told his customer is actually from the VAT Office.   { For those in more exotic climes,  VAT is the UK equivalent of a National Sales Tax. Penalties are severe for failure to achieve performance standards}

  Anyway good luck to them, this is probably the best advertising they have ever had.  Someone give Henry Cole a call.

Been in that shop many years ago, looked at a Tribsa but didn't buy it.
For those not aware Newcastle upon Tyne 's  Westgate Road is a bastion of bikery complete with compatible cafes (didn't want to say greasy spoon because the last time I was in it was fine)

I have passed that shop many times over the years it is only about 3 miles from where I live but I would only use him if I was desperate for a part he is just to expensive. He is very knowledgeable about classic bikes and has been there for at least 30 years.

Thanks Fellas, that helps to know they are genuine.
I just have to sort the e-mail problem.

I finally sorted the e-mail problem and received quotes for the generator parts I need.
Quoted 50 quid each for Triumph type drive gear and BSA 11 tooth sprocket!!!
I was looking for 5 of each so I declined the offer.
Must be gold plated.
