Think I saw a few bikes around one of the units today, nice location indeed and not far away should I need to visit.
And a great place to push the feker off the bridge if it can't be fixed

Hi McWullie
The shop is situated between West end motors and 1st choice kitchens. This is the other end of the row of units closer to the Ferryhill Tavern Bar.
Hope this helps you find it.
Many thanks to Polish Guy for posting directions.
New phone number now installed for the shop....... 01224 587566

Went in past at lunchtime as its near my work. I think this place has serious potential for both the owners and customers, looks very promising.

Popped along this afternoon for a news and had my bike thoroughly checked and serviced for an agreeable price, Alba moto turned the bike around in no time at all and I received the level of service I expected.
no issues taking my custom back again to Jim and the team at Albamoto.

Went to drop my bike off on Saturday morning, but it conked out as soon as I was on the road, a quick phone call to Jim and he came and picked me up and took me and the bike down to the workshop
. Seems like a great set up.

I presume that you are able to tighten any bolts you remove when working on a bike unlike Ecosse motorcycles

And that they know how to use thread locking compound (unlike a former Ecosse employee)
