Behind Bars grew into a business out of frustration, after over 30 years of riding off road motorcycles, an interest helped by a trials riding father, competing in motocross (scrambling as it was when I started) and Enduros with the odd bit of trials and trail riding. It became increasingly difficult to find local shops where I could go to buy kit suitable for a more mature rider who did not necessarily want the latest mx gear or widget from the USA. With a background in sales and many years in the motor trade including working for a Yamaha dealer back in the late 70's and early 1980's we set out to cater for Trail, Trials, Enduro,Supermoto and MX riders, only supplying products that we would use ourselves and most of the time had used.

Having traded for a couple of years from outbuildings at home we moved into our first retail and workshop premises in 2003. We have now moved to larger premises in Kenilworth. With more workshop space we are now able to cater for all makes of road and offroad  bikes, quads and scooters, including classic and vintage. With full workshop facilities and a MOT testing bay we can carry out all repairs from a simple puncture repair, servicing, race or track day preparation to full engine re-builds, wheel building, suspension service and set up or full restoration to older bikes. We stock road, offroad tyres, scooter tyres and can supply tyres to suit all bikes and quads. We have in-house shot/sand blasting facilities and can offer welding (both steel and alluminium), polishing, powder coating, painting and plating services.

We stock new and used bikes, parts, accessories, helmets, boots and clothing and with our vast supplier base can order in anything for any type of rider for any type of bike, quad or scooter.
