Hello and welcome to Alex’s Blog,

Today I thought we’d highlight some helmets to show you – some are bestsellers, some are best value, some are brand new in stock and all are great helmets. It was originally going to be 10 but we couldn’t narrow it down to ten so it’s the top 15 motorcycle helmets! Here they are in no particular order:

Hello and welcome to Alex’s Blog! Recently we have noticed a growing trend of air-bag technology in new clothing coming in to us. I wanted to explore this to see what these have to offer and to see if they really work or are they just a gimmick? Which ones are worth looking at and what do they offer?

Hello and welcome to Alex’s Blog. This week I wanted to focus on bike security. We obviously sell motorcycle kit to keep you secure in the event of the worst happening, but how do you protect your bike from being stolen?

Hello and welcome to Alex’s Blog. This week I wanted to look in to motorcycle clothing and the sizing available. I’ve done a blog on a sizing guide for motorcycle clothing, but I thought I would add to this with a little about motorcycle clothing for those of us who are petite, tall, more rotund or Herculean. Whilst we don’t always have these sizes in stock we can order them from our suppliers for you, just ask in any one of our 30 stores nationwide or contact us online.

Hello and welcome to Alex’s Blog. This week I wanted to focus on Waterproof clothing – and by waterproof I mean clothing with a waterproof membrane. Our 30 stores have fedback that lots of customers come in asking for “Gore-Tex” clothing but then when they find out the price they then downgrade to just “waterproof” as they aren’t aware of the options – so here I am to explore the other options for you.

Hello and welcome to Alex’s Blog. I’ve given you guides on to buying kit (and will give some more on other items in the future!) but how about a guide to buying a bike to use that kit on?

Not a lot of people realise that J&S Accessories Ltd actually sells bikes too but we do! Our Oakmere and Doncaster stores have our main bike showrooms with both new and second hand bikes to choose from and experienced staff to help you in your choice of bike. Continue reading Buying a Motorbike

Hello and welcome to Alex’s Blog. This week I thought I would look at textile clothing and the pros and cons of it. We have explored which motorcycle helmet to buy and the benefits of 1 piece leather suits vs 2 pieces so now I thought we’d look at the benefits of textile motorcycle clothing vs. leather.
