hi, hello everyone. i have sent this mail to the boss but thought i would share with you all . i am a long serving paramedic for the essex ambulance service, also a very keen biker owning six bikes myself. for many years i have worked closely with essex police regarding bike accidents and awareness. we have also just gone live today within the east of england press service. my wife and i have just opened our own motorbike clothing business in basildon, selling products such as rst,rsr,wolf etc. we are using a unit rather than a shop to keep prices right down to attract new and young riders. all our clothes will be equiped with knox armour as a free upgrade. we are hoping to get involved in teaching young riders the importance of wearing protective bike clothing. as such we will be introducing ride outs from our unit and inviting anyone to come along even if its just for a chat about bikes, safety or even just a friendly cuppa. i feel as a paramedic who has worked on a rapid response car for many years and a keen rider i have a lot to offer all riders young and old regarding safety. i wondered if you had any ideas ? our website is www.jdbikebits.com (http://www.jdbikebits.com) kind regards dan

Nice site and your place is just round the corner from where my work is moving to this spring (Christopher Martin Road). It will be good to be able to walk down there in the lunch break. Going to be in the market for some new textiles as my trousers have decided that they're no longer waterproof in the rsend area.

thanks guys.. the website is still very empty i'm afraid; theres loads more to load on yet! So if you cant see what you're looking for then just ask us.. its probably not just been added yet and if not we can always order in if its not in stock anyway.
Don't forget your discount either!! Let us know if you're popping in and we'll make sure we're about. And don't forget any ideas for days out..... cheers, Dan and Julie.

Well just let us know when you decide, if we haven't got what you want in we can easily order it for you no problem.
Rides out - anyone interested in the charity ride for Essex air ambulance this year, Sunday 27th April, may even be organising a meet at our place to then ride up there together? Will keep you posted and details also on our website www.jdbikebits.com (http://www.jdbikebits.com) .. always a good cause!
