This is a small, traditional motor-cycle parts shop. They sell a decent selection of spares and…read moreparts, although I've never had a service here. But I've bought all sorts of bits and bobs and they have always been both knowledgeable and friendly. They have a regular clientele of dispatch riders, which is usually a good sign that they know their stuff!

New and used parts, accessories, clothing, helmets, used motorcycles and repairs are all on offer…read moreat Bikes of Brighton. On the front of the main entrance to Brighton Bikes are posters for AC/DC and The Who, reminding the customer not to forget that motorbikes are cool, and are inextricably linked to rock music. However the AC/DC and Who concerts they are advertising are actually tribute bands; not so cool, but still, in the right direction. To be honest though, this shop isn't about looks, it's quite simply a good, hard working, honest shop which deals in Bikes and getting those babies on the road. KTM and Yamaha road and Moto X bikes are displayed outside, and the Yamaha Virago especially took my fancy, looking a little bit like a chopper, I suddenly had the urge to throw off the constraints of society and go easy riding. But I didn't, as sleeping under the Californian stars in mid summer cannot be matched by the lovely, but actually quite cold, Sussex Downs in mid winter.

As a lover and rider of old motorcycles I find it can be difficult to find parts from time to time…read more 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.

Had some welding done round the sides and front but all in all was a great bike until someone stole her about 2 weeks ago the bastards. Found her in the woods behind my flats, all smashed up a total write off. She was insured for 3,000 hey why not after everything bit of work I had done. I cried like a baby for hours actually days. So now I have no scooter I have some but can only afford to pay per month for a new one. Cheers. one pissed off Baz It was a Vespa Midnight Blue LX 125.

I've done a fair bit of looking around but found this little gem of a place last week. The staff are so friendly and there's none of that 'we're all mods' attitude going on at all. There's a huge selection of scooters in here both new and second hand and they have a really good and reasonably prices repare shop running along side it too. Dust off your parka!

TPG Motorcycles seems a little lost as bike dealers go. It has the distinct feel of a fledgling…read morebusiness run by old hands. The shop seems clean and more like an attempts to follow the styling of the bigger, glossier, check book biker dealers like P and H in Crawley than your average independent. But it clearly doesn't have the budget behind it as there is little in the way of stock and the bikes seem to be a miss match of second hand machines (with a good couple of classics in there). It's not all bad though repair prices are reasonable, with a puncture repair at twelve pounds, and they seem to be a helpful bunch of people happy to talk to me despite the fact that I didn't need to buy anything. This could be a great local shop with a bit time and it's much easier to access than the city centre shops.

Plus, I don't know another workshop with a harbour side view as good as theirs. Great for a mooch around if you're waiting for them to do a little job, otherwise, there's two cafés nearby. The 700 bus stops almost right outside and Southwick train station is just across the road. Couldn't be easier for dropping off and collecting bikes.
