I needed some work doing on my 1971 Triumph, following an advisory note on the recent MOT and after looking at the manual, I realised it was a 4 handed job and likely to be beyond my mechanical abilities.

I’d been to Meriden Motorcycles for a look round a few weeks ago and they have lots of experience with Triumphs, having many in various states of repair around the place.

I discussed the job with them and they said what was required, how long it should take and quoted a price which seemed reasonable for what was needed. The bike was dropped off the following week and John gave me a lift to the station so I could get home more easily. They phoned 2 days later as agreed to say the job was done, on time and under the quoted price.

I went to collect it and the whole episode was more expensive than planned as I spotted a 1981 T140E that had just arrived and I decided I’d quite like. We did the deal over tea and chocolate biscuits and the bike was delivered the following week.

So, an unexpected change of bike and a shop I feel confident in using and recommending. Jon and John both know their Triumphs and I would be happy to trust them with anything mechanical I may need help with in future.

In short, a proper shop with friendly staff, good customer service and a decent mug of tea.

Gray.

I’ve owned my 1969 Triumph Bonneville since 1983. In the spring of 2014 I was having serious problems with her and to cut a long story short, I decided to seek help. This is when I came across Meriden Motorcycles; I gave them a call and spoke to John who listened to my tale of woe and offered his advice.

A few months later I travelled up to meet both John and Jon to discuss my requirements further. After agreeing the scope of the work, which included a full engine rebuild (and a few other bits), my bike was booked in for summer 2014.

Whilst the bike was away I was kept fully updated with a series of emails, photos and finally a video clip showing the bike running! My Bonnie was returned to me in September 2014 and I was truly delighted with her and the work done, all completed within the price we had agreed.

A year later I returned to Meriden Motorcycles to have my Triumph serviced and MOT’d together with some work on the front end. Again l was very happy with the work done.

I am now having great fun riding my T120 thanks to Meriden Motorcycles who provide an excellent, friendly and knowledgable service. Their approach is both sensible and practical, geared to the customer requirement.

I’ll be booking my Triumph in for it’s 2016 service and MOT later in the year. I’ll be the first to admit that a 210 mile round trip isn’t exactly just round the corner, but I enjoy the ride up via the A5 (and the Super Sausage Cafe) and when you arrive John never fails to put the kettle on. It makes total sense to me!
