Based in Liverpool, England, Davida are now the sole UK manufacturers of motorcycle helmets. We are proud that, unlike most modern creations, these helmets are still hand-built using the best quality materials available.
Made in England, by people who have lived and worked in the Merseyside area for generations, our helmets are still hand-built using the best quality materials available. Every distinctive livery and detail is carefully created by individuals who still care about these things.
We have also selected a collection of the best goggles available from around the world, all of which have been road tested by us to ensure that they fit well and work effectively with our helmets.
Times have changed and the company is constantly evolving yet our helmets seem to look right whatever the decade.

Armstrong Racing Motorbikes
The original 350cc CM36 Armstrong was first built in 1981, whilst the CM35 250cc machines were built in 1980, and are hence both eligible for (G1 P3) CRMC Post Classic & ICGP Classes. We will be campaigning both new 250cc & 350cc machines, now code named the CMR37 (following on from the factory model CMW37), in many events in late 2010 & 2011.
A number of modifications to the old CM36 engine have been made to improve reliability, performance and handling. Within the engine, the known troubled areas have been redesigned and modern materials & surface conditioning have been applied throughout the power train. The barrels are the very latest spec. only ever fitted the works machines. Many components have also been lightened to improve overall weight reduction. The clutch has been updated to the latest materials technology and is equiped with Kevlar friction plates as standard to aid power delivery and clutch longevity. The new frames are identical to the last of the works CMW37 type steel/alloy frame, fabricated to the highest quality in 4130 chromoly tubing, with alloy swinging arms. The new engines are built to the last works specification ensuring the new CMR37 exceeds the best technology available in the day fitted as standard today.
Handling & suspension have been uprated also, with the new machines gaining custom made fully adjustable Ohlins or Maxton rear units with front forks either being Maxton built double damped Ceriani's or "Marzocchi Replica" magnesium 35mm race forks, dependant on choice. Wheels are again optional, with either 18" spoked wheels, Marvic Morris 7 spoke, Campagnolo 5 spoke or Dymag 3 spokes 18" magnesium wheels as preferred.

After tasting victory on the track, the Rickmans began designing and building their own motorcycle frames.
Soon their distinctive designs allowed them to expand their business, which proved to be so successful that in 1973 they received the prestigious Queen’s Award to Industry.
In 1980 the Rickman brothers ceased motorcycle manufacture. Around that time the original tooling and the remainder of the stock was sold off.
In 1982 a talented and enthusiastic engineer called Pat French purchased all of the company’s assets and set about making Mk IV framed machines. When the pre-65 classic scramble series started, the Mk IV did not qualify for these events as it was manufactured after the cut-off date. This meant that the Mk III came back into production, fitting neatly into the regulations.
Production continued until the mid-90’s when the economic recession forced a decrease in production due to lack of demand. To maintain its existence Métisse enthusiast Gerry Lisi put forward a partnership proposal to see the company through its difficult time. A new factory was constructed at Carswell, Oxfordshire and the partnership continued up to Pat’s retirement.
Motorcycle manufacture continues to thrive at Carswell, England….
http://www.metisse-motorcycles.com/Brooks England Ltd - Premium Cycle saddles
Over almost a century and a half, Brooks England has grown from a small workshop to a byword in quality craftsmanship. Back in 1865, John Boultbee Brooks left his hometown of Hinckley in Leicestershire with just £20 in his pocket.
He headed for Birmingham, where in 1866 he established a business in horse harnesses and general leather goods in Great Charles Street under the name JB Brooks & Co.In 1878, the unfortunate death of Mr Brooks’ horse led to a stroke of inspiration. Unable to afford another horse, he borrowed a bicycle in order to commute to work. But he found the seat so uncomfortable that he vowed to do something about it. On 28 October 1882, Mr Brooks filed his first saddle patent.
Waddling cyclists everywhere threw their hats in the air and the new product was a roaring success. The company became known and respected for its beautiful leather handcrafted saddles, and soon started to make cycle and motorcycle bags and other accessories.
Traditional techniques in manufacturing leather saddles were passed down from generation to generation of craftsmen as the company grew under the guidance of the Brooks family until 1958.
Inspired by the timeless products designed by our predecessors, we have revived the original slogan ‘Saddles, Bags, Etc’ and introduced a range of cycle bags and other accessories.Brooks England is steeped in history, a prestige brand that boasts almost 150 years of tradition and expertise. But quality and style never age. So come on in and take a seat.

Brompton folding Bikes
All Bromptons are designed and built in our factory in West London, England. Brompton is one of only two major frame manufacturers still based in the UK, and we have been in full production since 1988. The company has come a long way since its initial production facility in a railway arch, and the current site occupies 22,000 ft2 (some 2,000m2).
The company remains in private hands and is now led by Will Butler-Adams, though the Brompton’s inventor, Andrew Ritchie, continues to act as Technical Director. Private ownership has played a big part in making Brompton successful as we have always been able to focus solely on the bike, never the demands of corporate shareholders.
Today, Bromptons are sold in 33 export markets. In the UK, USA, Canada and Ireland, we sell directly to carefully-selected bicycle retailers; in other territories, we sell to distributors who operate their own dealer networks.

Watsonian Squire Ltd - Sidecars
UK sidecar ownership increased by 25% during 1993-2003 (from 5,288 – 7,044; source RAC) as leisure riders sought to involve all the family in their pastime and demand has been steady since then. Originally sidecar bodywork was either wicker or aluminium, mounted on an ash wood frame, but today sidecars are manufactured from glass fibre, with a steel frame. Watsonian Squire currently produces approximately 200 units per year, with 60% exported (Japan being one of the largest markets).

Triumph Motorcycles Limited
Through the Fifties and Sixties, names such as Steve McQueen and Marlon Brando cemented the Triumph legend, while numerous land speed records and race track successes gave bikes like the Thunderbird, Bonneville, Tiger and Trident iconic status.
In 1991, the new Triumph company emerged. Remaining true to the heritage, Triumph was reborn combining the very latest design and manufacturing facilities with the character and design flair that has always been associated with the famous swooping badge.
As Triumph continues to build upon the richest heritage in the motorcycle industry, modern bikes like the Speed Triple, Rocket III and Daytona 675 will stand proudly alongside their predecessors when the history books are written.
