Motorcycle shops in London
 
Is there a list of motorcycle shops in London. I need to know of a few good ones so whilst I'm there check them out as am in need of some waterproofs and a pair of jeans. Any good ones you know about?

whereabouts in London? There is an Infinity in Greenwich and I know a few in South London but that might be a bit far out.

Bit of a pony website, but they are very reasonable and friendly! Out East - Forest Gate way

I go to an Infinity store on Great Portland Street, near Oxford Circus. They're always excellent on price (cheaper than Infinity in Clapham) and the guys and gals who work there are very helpful and full of advice.

Several times I've been advised to buy something cheaper because it'd be better for my needs.

Great Portland Street is one way, so you'll need to drive up one of the parallel streets to the west: Hallam Street or Portland Place, and then come down Great Portland Street, Infinity is on your left. There is motorbike parking outside.

or

Well, I walked past and saw all the leather outfits in the window, so I was undertandably confused as to the nature of the shop...

Anyway, I got some and it looks great.

I parked on the pavement right in front of their window when I bought some leathers there a year or so ago. Didn't seem to be a problem...
