Motocentral (Hinckley) - praise
richtea:
Just bought a new AGV helmet at considerable discount here:
https://www.motocentral.co.uk/
They're just south of Hinckley (M69/A5 roundabout)
I've ridden past here so many times, and never realised it was there.
They're polite, helpful in trying on different sizes, and they also seemed to have very good stock range - presumably for mostly online sales.
As a place to try kit on, and still get a reasonable price, it's a good choice - and a nice ride if a mini-storm doesn't start just as you leave.
The only thing to be aware of is they have multiple pricing, which is no surprise nowadays. In descending order:
- shop price (list price)
- internet price (better)
- eBay specials (specifically https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/Cheap-Bike-Gear, for discontinued kit only)
They will give you the internet/eBay price in the shop, but only if you ask. Just take the link along with you on the phone.

If I remember rightly, I suggested stopping here on one of the Wrinklies trips when we stayed at the Premier Inn Hinckley. Everyone must have been topped up on kit at that time. ;)
richtea:
You know your bike shops, Rae!
I'd say it might be one level down from your favourite Boston haunt, SportsBikeShop.co.uk - no posh parking. ;D
But it's rather closer for me. And £120 less for my particular purchase.
raesewell:
Sportsbikeshop saw the error of their ways and opened a shop in Leeds, Boston is a nice ride out though.
richtea:
They obviously checked their big data, and worked out the majority of sales came from the Normanton area of West Yorkshire.
And thus the mountain did move to Mohammed (no cultural appropriation intended :o).
