Default J&S Oakmere - Opening 21st/22nd April

Mentioned the idea over in this thread.
"J&S Accessories Oakmere marks their opening with an open weekend for all the family on 21st & 22nd April. Read more"
It'll be located here which is the same plot where Harringtons/Discover Leisure used to be.

Who's going and on what day? Fancy meeting up? I've nothing planned on either day at the moment, so will see which day is nicer and ride over.

Whatever day I'm not cycling, most likely on the Sunday. I will probably be in the car as I'm in the market for new helmet, boots, back protectors and maybe even some leathers! If there are offers, money will change hands

Went passed there and saw the signs.
Great new location for them.
Better than the northwich shop anyway.
Better parking, showroom space and on the road to oulton park too...

I love J&S.

I went and bought what I considered cheap and cheerful J&S own brand textiles that would see me through a few miles as a pillion before I knew how much time I would actually be spending on the back of the bike. That was many years ago now and they are still looking new and in damn near perfect condition. After about a year, I went to HG to upgrade and not one set of textiles in there were as comfortable or offered the same amount of protection, regardless of the price.

I still have them, I will not change them until I need to and I would recommend J&S gear to anyone.

I went along to Northwich today as I needed some leather trousers for casual riding when I don'f wear full leathers. I tried on a few types, some branded expensive ones. In the end I went for the J&S own brand, really good quality, I hope they last as long as yours have.

I'll probably take a wander up if the weathers nice for this opening weekend, any excuse to ride the bike. Maybe meet up for a cuppa on the Saturday?

I won't be going anywhere this weekend as too much on down here, but congrats on your J&S purchase. I honestly love mine if you couldn't tell already.



As you can see, after 4 years ( I just worked it out) and many many miles, including some horrible weather, especially the week I did my test, they are still looking new and are roasty toasty warm

I think I need a bigger boyfriend though!

I definitely want to put in an appearance one day, all things (the weather) being equal i'll likely lean towards popular opinion.

Rode past it again today, seems to be coming along nicely, think i saw some leathers and things hanging up already. Be handy to have a bigger store nearby.
