Well i've found ONE in the SouthWest and that's in Cornwall. Basically i'm trying to find a place where i can buy bikes as a whole that have been written off by insurance or sold to breakers for various problems.

Can be anywhere really as i'm willing to travel to go and pick up said bike. Any help much appreciated boys and girls Thumbs Up Karma

I know of a couple in cornwall, but they don't tend to sell whole bikes any more. Apparently there's no market for it.

Try 2 wheel breakers in Bodmin, or one in Bugle - I've forgotten the name.

When I've beel looking for parts I've found things like this useful, but they seem to be more for parts than entire bikes.

Edit - if you want a screwed bike cheap I've got a moto roma Wasp (50cc scooter) I haven't got round to fixing yet.

Plymouth, one is near the gas stacks on cheap side which is really difficult to find (go to the entertainment district where there is a cinema and night club)

The bald guy in the clothing shop nearby should be able to tell you where it is,

2 in Bristol. Not amazingly cheap though, better off on eBay.

If one of those is Bike Direct then they seem to have closed down according to their web site.

All the best

There's 1 breakers in Bristol then apparently!

Bike direct used to be a decent-ish place!
It's bike hut, the one remaining. They tend to be rather expensive though.

Keep an eye on that, or email him, he doesn't list everything on the site.

Nice guy aswell. He let me rag his GS500 round Llandow last year. Even though I nearly took him out by locking the front wheel whilst trying to outbrake him.

twas a bit confusing :

the X points to just bikers a rip of clothing shop,

head towards embankment road


the Macadam road

turn onto South Milton Street and onto Cattedown road, you should see a gate and a ting sign which says bike shop,

Good guys there, get his mobile tel though and call very regularly , since he gets loads of bikes in and very soon starts butchering them for bits.

I've had plenty of bikes off him, which you can buy for beer money but as said they are bikes right at the end of their lives and thus don't expect mint bikes for £250.
