AberdeenBikers

popped in today to ask about some bearings i couldnt stay long as i was blocking someone else in but they were very helpful and the place does look good i wish them luck

Well this sounds great! About time there was a better option for servicing!!!!

I got my 30 year old bike back from them last Friday and it is much much better. Decent price and great service. Didn't try and farce anything on me even though there are millions more things that could be fixed on it.

5 minutes from my front door!

I'll be dropping by to get a few things sorted sometime soon.

perhaps hes learned and is doing this pre rowan fichering!!!

Was in today, very friendly and would happily use again

I went in past on Saturday. Very friendly with a clear plan on what service they want to provide bikers with round here. Nice selection of bikes, well presented in a nice shop. Easy access with good parking too.




and the Ferryhill Tavern across the road seals it for me

just used them yesterday/today and found them top notch!
def be throwing work their way in future

Just another quick heads up guys,

ALBAMOTO can now (at long last) offer their customers the ability to pay by credit/debit card......

Albamoto ceased trading?

No, still there - Jim has many names
hope so anyway, he still has my Guzzi project to sort....

Albamotos seems to have changed to Morrison's Motorcycle Engineering this week. What's happened to the guys who were running it. The Polish mechanic is still there.

I'd imagine g.cowen has just shat himself. Sure Jim and co will be along soon to confirm or deny.....

Hope everything is OK at Alba/Morrison's
When I had trouble with the V-Strom, Jim and the guys went out of their way to help me out (more than once)

Jim, WTF is going on ??

Post on their Faceache page: https://www.facebook.com/AlbaMotoMotorc ... 7896966602

Dear Customers,
We will be closed for the coming week, however anyone looking for an update on their motorcycle is welcome to call the workshop number where a member of staff will be happy to assist you.
We are sorry for any trouble this closure may cause.

Msg from Jim,
"I am not with Albamoto anymore".
That's all, no explanation. Guess it all ended badly ?? Shame.

Wonder what is going on.. Aberdeen really does need another motorbike specialist and it was looking so promising for alba moto..

Jim was bloody brilliant, wonder what the story is ??

Possibly Aberdeen and surrounding areas not big enough for more than the big 2 if this have not ended well at Alba.

Jim and ex business partner have parted ways, the other guy will run alba now under the name Morrice.

Not Jim's choice, and I for one am very sad to see him go, I think it's a bad move and that guy will lose a lot of business over it. My OH's when I told him, first reaction was - well I'm nae going there again then......

There are, as usual, two sides to most stories....
I would withold judgement unless one knows all the facts ??
Nuff said

Dean Morrice has been the director of the company since April 2012 (Jim was the previous director for about a month before that). As the shop seems to be re-branding under Deans name I would imagine that one the dust has settled then it will be business as usual.

And once the dust has settled I need to get my finger out and get my Monster booked in for its cam belt service!
