Gulf Oil Tank Candle

Our friends over at Fashion Helmets have come up with a very unusual product.  A candle cast from an oil tank with a 'Gulf' design.  Quite what Steve McQueen would make of it we don't know!

In any case, if you would like to buy one then get in touch with us at we will assist.

Vitesse Motorcycle Boots

There is a growing trend in motorcycle clothing for fashion as well as function.  French company, Vitesse Moto are tackling the motorcycle boot.  Although there exist technical motorcycle boots that are suitable for use in the city from the likes of Tucano Urbano, they don't provide the level of protection in the event of a crash that can be found in Sidi or Alpinestars boots.

Vitesse Moto have produced three stunning boots, the only drawback is that they are only available direct from their website at present.

Scooter Season Begins!

It feels as though the long winter of 2009/10 has finally ended.  We have had the first few days of blue sky and glorious sunshine in London and predictably the number of customers looking for a used Vespa scooter has multiplied.

Sales of new scooters and motorcycles dropped by upto 23% in 2009 and demand for used vehicles has gone up.  This means prices of used Vespas will likely stabilise this year and customers may have to go further to find their scooter.

On the scooter front we specialise in selling used Vespas.  If you are in the market for an ET, LX, S or GT then check our Vespas for sale web page for up to date information.

All our scooters are sold with a 3 month warranty as standard, MOT and road tax if required.  We have a fantastic range of scooter helmets, scooter jackets, scooter gloves, scooter leg covers, scooter bar muffs, scooter locks and scooter covers.  A one-stop-shop including assistance with arranging CBTs and insurance as required.

Belstaff Stirling Bend Leather Jacket

The 2010 Belstaff Pure Motorcycle Collection promises to be better than ever. Over the coming weeks we will be posting details of new arrivals. Belstaff motorcycle jackets have revolutionised the market with their combination of high fashion with technical clothing.

The jacket we are going to focus on today is the Belstaff Stirling Bend. It is hand made from a full grain cow leather. The leather has a washed finish to it and is a very comfortable weight. The cut is slim and 'modern' despite the vintage appearance. An innovative internal flap on the chest gives a close fit even at high speed and stops water coming through at the zip.



The armour is removable so like all Belstaff jackets it is well suited to wear as a fashion jacket in its own right. The leather piping is a great finishing touch to the jacket. In terms of seasonality we expect it to be fine for all year round use unless your climate is significantly colder then the UK. There is no removable lining.



One of the guys here uses it daily on a 16 mile commute speeds 30-60mph and it has performed excellently thus far.
