As a lover and rider of old motorcycles I find it can be difficult to find parts from time to time. There are a number of great shops I can go and get a great sense of community and any number of good online dealers where the selection of parts is good, but retuning them can be a pain and the service impersonal. With these things in mind you can imagine how happy I was to find that World's End Motorcycles was as close at hand as it is. I found out about them when one of their guys came to buy an old Honda off me after I had run its little engine into the ground. I popped down to the warehouse in Portslade a week or two later after a part for my new bike. When I asked after my old Honda I was told that they had set it up with a new engine and that it was now once more on the road. That's just what these guys are about. They have one of the largest selections of motorcycle parts under one roof I've ever seen and you get the very real impression that they actually care.
There's not a great deal in the way of accessories or clothing so you lose a little of the excitement of a real trip to the bike shop but in terms of the nuts and bolts of things (excluding Brit bikes) they excel. So for those of you with something like a 1990 GS1000, next time a piece of aging fairing gives way or you need a new chain on the cheap then give these guys a shout or just head down. read more
