"I
was always fixing bikes for people and the shop
side developed out of that." says Dennis,
who dates his interest in motorbikes from the
age of eight.
His showroom currently has a selection of machines from a
50cc scooter to a mighty Kawasaki 1300cc Upstairs there's
a massive range of accessories for bike fans to choose
from, including clothing, gloves and helmets.
As a former racer Dennis has a vast knowledge, and has "road-tested" a
lot of the gear himself.
"People
ask me for my views and I always try to be honest
with them. I don't give customers the hard sell.
But business is still doing well - or so my bookkeeper
tells me." he jokes.

Dennis
moved from his base in Bridge of Don into the
city when his former business partnership broke
up. He wanted to concentrate on bikes while his
partner was more interested in pursuing the car
side of the business.

The
offroad racing has now taken off with KTM, motocross
(KTM & myself have pulled a useful team together
including my 8 year old son Daniel), motard is
a load of fun, enduro bikes with a swap to motard
wheels gives 2 bikes in one, all without the
go to jail top speeds but missing none of the
thrills.
November 2005 saw a move to Checkbar, Marywell 3 miles south of Aberdeen between Cove and the main Aberdeen - Stonehaven road.
June 2007 The motocross team has expanded now with 3 fast Mcleods, Hannah, Dean & Tara from Hatton, Frazer Norrie from Cumminston, Daniel Irvine & latest rider Scott Findlay(he usually answers the phone in the shop & looks after parts) from Forfar. All are competing at club & Scottish level, Scott is going to Sweden at the start of August in the Scottish youth team.
