Review of Gutsibits


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Gutsibits Have You Covered.

Gutsibits are the go-to conpany for Moto Guzzi parts and accessories. In my experience, the team are both personable and knowledgeable and make buying from Gutsibits a positive experience.
There’s even an option to tell you when an out of stock item becomes available.
Couldn’t want more, from a parts and accessory supplier, with whom you can truly build a relationship.
My latest order was swiftly dispatched and I was kept informed of its progress.
Happy to recommend Gutsibits - Supporting the Moto Guzzi community.

Review of TheVisorShop.com


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Clearly Recommended.

The clue’s in the name and The Visor Shop certainly know their business.
The right visors, at competive prices and seemingly with most held in stock for immediate dispatch.
This time I bought a visor for an Arai Tour-X helmet. Well-priced and arrived quickly.
Though have previously ordered pin-locks and cleaning products too.
Happy to recommend The Visor Shop and will continue to use their services.
Sorry it took me so long to post a review!

Review of CityDoc


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Vax Life.

CityDoc offered a friendly, professional service, with an appointment available at short notice. It helped that there was a local clinic in my area.
My appointment was on time and the nurse was highly professional, explaining the vaccination options availabe and which were most necessary for my upcoming trip. Though did not up-sell products.
My first experience with CityDoc and happy to recommend their services.

Review of HelmetCity.co.uk Ltd


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Use Your Head - Choose Helmet City.

Found exactly what I wanted and in stock, at Helmet City. The Arai Tour-X4 visor was well-priced and swiftly dispatched.
The delivery company was not one I was familiar with. But was greeted by a smart and pleasant delivery driver. Who rang the doorbell, rather than leaving it on the door step. Happy and returning customer to Helmet City.

Review of Howden Insurance

Review of Vision Express


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Getting it Right - In Plain Sight…

A highly professional contact lens appointment, with a friendly and engaging optician.
I also received good advice on optical care and advice on reading glasses.
The appointment didn’t feel rushed and I left feeling valued.
Happy to recommend Vision Express, Newbury.

Sounds Like A-Plan

As always a comsumate, professional service from A-Plan ( Thatcham).
I have no reservations in recommending
A-Plan. Who are always competitive, without expecting me to do their leg-work Then try to match the best quote I could find elewhere.
Policy excesses should never be overlooked, in favour of a lower premium. Again A-Plan offer realistic excesses and even advise, if they think you may get better value elsewhere.
Happy to give credit, where it is due.

Review of Howden Insurance


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A-Plan. Makes the Difference.

I have no hesitation in recommending A-Plan Insurance.
Having always been wary of renewing with the same provider: I intended to seek competitive quotes.
Got as far as phoning one, big name alternative and was kept on hold and then offered a huge excess.
In order to keep their policy price low.
A-Plan have always been up-front and staff actually listen to your requirements.
Rather than simply targetting a sale.
So happy to return to A-Plan and would even have
paid a small uplift to do so.
Thatcham branch have been outstanding and are worth a special mention.

It Sounds Like ‘ A Plan’.

A Plan Insurance are trustworthy, professional and competitive.
Unlike several well known insurers, I have used in the past: At renewal, A Plan try hard to remain competitive and don’t expect me to do the leg work.
Staff are friendly and always ready to help.
Whereas I do seek alternative quotations: A Plan give me peace of mind.
My classic car is now with them too.

Review of MotoNovo Finance


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

MotoNovo - Because Finance Should Be A Positive Experience.

MotoNovo made financing my new motorbike a positive experience.
I was having misgivings about vehicle finance.
But in the past I recalled having financed a car with MotoNovo - I liked the way the company interacted and valued the clarity of their correspondence.
MotoNovo’s rates are competitive and of course, that is key to any financial transaction.
But they also make you feel valued too and not just at the inception of your agreement.
So happy to recommend.
The retail discount scheme they offer is also a unique benefit.

Review of Adrian Flux


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

In Flux We Trust.

Good, honest company that does it's best to offer decent value insurance, by way of personable staff and a wide range of policies.
My particular interest is to insure classic cars and this can be a minefield.
Sure, there are others out there offering, what seem to be a similar service and range of options.
But in my experience: many like to add, last-minute clauses, severly limit your annual mileage or just offer poor value.
Adrian Flux are still UK based and use clear speaking staff, who actually understand the UK insurance market and are not simply reading-off a sales script.
The call handlers actually seem empowered to make decisions and don't claim to be giving you some 'today only' deal.
Lastly: AF do not seem to sell your personal information to the devil.
Unlike certain comparison sites...
Me? A bit of a serial car and bike buyer and so have truly tested the market!
