Mobile Motorcycle Mechanic? Recommendations

Hey guys,

I've been having problems with a certain ninja 250r for quite some time now and recently (within 2 months) had the opportunity to make an honest sale of the bike. However upon finalising the bike noted that it wouldn't start, being honest I told the potential buyer who never returned contact. Completely failing to start is not something this bike has ever experienced. I've done all the 1 spanner Haynes suggestions and it's still not working.

What I'm after is recommendations for mobile motorcycle mechanics in the north-west of England. Preferably the closer to Chester the better.

I've done the generic Google and phone around. I'm after first hand experience and recommendations now. Can anyone help?

He's in the Lymm/Warrington area so don't know if it's a bit too far but a lad called Darren Goodwin has been great with my bike - seems very knowledgeable. Really nice guy and doesn't charge the earth - he's on 07733 127485 and this is his website -

Also has a transporter van to take it back to his workshop if it's not something you can fix on the spot.

Cheers Chris, I'll give him a try. The leads I had found we're either out dated or havn't gotten back to me.

Much appreciated =]

Chris, Gave Darren a call Saturday, came round Sunday and had it fixed that same night. Great service, well worth the call. Thanks very much.

Ah no problem - glad it worked out!

Yeah I should've said he can generally get things done really quickly as he's usually working on long-term projects (like crazy R1-engined quadbikes) - helps when you need your bike for work every day as I do.

Just spoke to Darren today (to arrange having a free go on one of his R1 quads) and he's got a new number so I thought I'd stick it up here in case it helps anyone in future - 07887 516040. Ta.

Cheers Chris! Ive been thinking about my wiring lately and i might need his help again, terrific service!

No worries. He's finally got a new website sorted so thought I'd stick that on here -

More pics of the quads and customs to come apparently. Like the look of the Red Bull one - hilarious to think you could be doing three-figure speeds with no helmet...
