Not many people have the good fortune to work at something they are passionate about and to say I live and breath motorcycles would be accurate, just ask my wife! I served my apprenticeship at a multi franchise shop in london, honda, suzuki, used bikes as well, back in 1975. Having moved to Norfolk there was little opportunity to join a bike shop so work took me down the route of factory maintance jobs.
I kept my hand in by servicing and tuning many of the local bikes in my workshops at home for years. In 2001 a chance to open a bikeshop in Kings Lynn, backed by my racing sponsors at the time the Anglia Co-op, seemed like a dream come true and just one year later the Co-op group pulled the plug on all their involvement with the motor trade.

Peter continued his good qualifying form by achieving a 4th place start for Saturday's race which he then went on to finish in 4th place overall in both races. This leaves him second in the championship having closed the gap to the leader by eight points with four more rounds (16 races) to go.
At xmas time 2014, having spoken to all my existing sponsors and thinking about the big task ahead, we had 1 bike without wheels, engine needed rebuilding and no spares!

If I could give less than 1 star, believe me I would. Peter Baker is a complete rip of merchant. Took my sons bike in, claimed to have done work on it and hadn't, Peter ordered the wrong parts for the bike and then charged me for the wrong parts when collected. Charged me over £500 (£115 just for an air filter!), scratched the bike up (even though had had a professional re-spray just before it went to his garage) and when complained, he said he knows nothing about it! Only place the bike was, was in his workshop. Will never return. Very poor workmanship, and plenty of greed.

My son needed a tyre so he could go to work the following day and the only place he could get one on short notice was Peter Baker motorcycles kings lynn, firstly they put the tyre on the wrong way round ( supposedly experts) the tyre was a cheaper brand tyre, and cost my son £110, absolutely extortionate, looking into other motorcycle shops we could of got a pirelli tyre fitted for £80, where do Peter Baker's get there prices from????
