The P&H Blog

When you've just completed your CBT and are looking to buy your first motorcycle, the sheer amount of choices can sometimes feel overwhelming. There are so many fantastic options out there for all types of rider - whether the naked bike look is a bit of you, or you'd prefer something a little bit sporty. The choice is yours!

We'd like to take this moment to thank all of our amazing customers for their support and business over the past few months. You've provided us with hope in the most uncertain of times and for that we're eternally grateful.

As the easing of lockdown progresses we thought it was probably about time to give you an update on how we're operating at the moment. Please read on for more info:

Yamaha Motor Company celebrates the 65th anniversary of it's founding in 1955, and to mark the occasion we're taking part in their nationwide anniversary demo event! 

We've had a number of questions come through since re-opening, so we thought we'd put them all down in one handy document for you to refer back to!

We all love blasting around in our fanciest leathers during the dry weather, and while they no doubt offer some of the best protection available from accidents they offer little to no protection from the elements when the heavens open. If you've ever been caught in the rain in a one-piece suit then you'll know the joy of peeling off your sodden kit at the end of your ride all too well. And if you haven't? We'll we'd suggest you avoid it all together!

If you need any clothing then you'll need to book an appointment to speak to our clothing team. Here's some more info on the booking system and how it will work:

Taking a test ride on a bike is definitely the best way to get a feel for if you're going to like it, however as we will be running on highly reduced staff levels in the showroom initially we've had to make a few changes with regards to our demo process.

To enquire about a demo, please email enquiries@phmotorcycles.co.uk (please contact via email ONLY regarding your test ride, please do not try to phone the main line). A member of the sales team will then get in touch to discuss your requirements for your next bike purchase and get you booked on to the bike if it is available.

We know you've been waiting for news on our opening for some time, and currently it's looking like we will be able to open on June 1st alongside car dealerships. For us to be able to open, and feel comfortable that both our staff and customers will be able to remain safe, we will be putting various different safety and social distancing measures in place. 

Commuting by motorcycle is one of the best ways to avoid public transport and maintain your social distancing, so we are happy to let you know that from June 1st our training school ART will be able to offer CBT's, New Rider Courses, Back to Biking and Advanced courses again!

So as of today (Wednesday 13th May), we are officially allowed to ride our motorcycles for leisure purposes again - yay! And while we know that you're all raring to go, if you haven't already there are a few essential checks on your bike we'd suggest you do before you hit the road. After all, in times like these the last thing you want is to need to be recovered from a breakdown, particularly if you don't have anyone from your household to come and collect you if things go south!
