BSA M20 & M21 hoodie

Great quality at the right price

£27.99

 


Our BSA M20 & M21 T-shirts are top sellers. But occasionally it gets a little chilly and you need a top coat. Or a top hoodie. We should have introduced these years ago. But we kept looking the other way even though we had a few requests for 'em. What's changed now is that you can request one, and you can actually get one. Press the button below and read the details. We'll get one off to you faster than a vicious rumour. You won't be disappointed.

 

Sizes: S, M, L, XL, and XXL

 

 

 

 

Sump hoodie

Sumpsters look this way, please

£27.99

 


These hoodies are so black it's hard to photograph them; at least it is with our Box Brownie. But it ain't the blackness that makes them look so cool. No, it's the Sump logo that does it. It tells the world that you're a switched on, wised-up, no-nonsense, kick-ass, thinking motorcyclist (that's the official marketing spiel, anyway). Regardless, these are simply great hoodies. They're warm, functional, durable and priced right. Just make sure you buy from us because people are pirating just about anything these days, and the rip-off quality invariably takes a hit.

Triumph T140 Bonneville
& TR7 Tiger buyers guide
£9.99

 

When I bought my first T140, a mate rode over on his CB250 Honda, took a look, frowned and said, 'You'll be dead in a bloody week on that, mate.' I said, 'Oh? Why?' And he said, 'British bike. They leak oil. Don't handle. Don't stop. Snap cranks. And fall apart at the worst possible moment.' So I said, 'You want a take it for a blast?' And he said, 'Yeah.' Three days later he bought a new T140, and he still owns it, plus two others. I've since owned six or seven T140s, currently own three, have ridden tens of thousands of miles on 'em, including a year or two on the London despatch circuit. And I'm still alive. Mostly.

Come find out why...

Gift T-shirts for motorcyclists

 

Fantastic collection of original, exclusive and great value
motorcycle T-shirt gifts from £12.99

 

We didn't want to get into the T-shirt business. It was an accident (but fortunately nobody was injured). When we started Sump, we really weren't thinking a long way ahead. Actually, not much further than the nearest pub. We just wanted to produce the best possible motorcycle news and features website given our general state of inebriation and limited "skill set". Anyway, we set to work cobbling it all together, sketching page designs and batting ideas back and forth, and arguing about the name. Etc.

 

Someone suggested 'Rockerama,' and we ignored that. Someone suggested 'Back Street Easyriding Classic Bikers'. And someone else added '...from hell!' And we naturally ignored that too. Another suggestion was something that we can't repeat this side of the watershed, and about a hundred other names went into the pot and we stirred it all around.

 

Finally the name 'Sump' bubbled up. And we thought, 'Yeah! Sump. That's where all the oily, greasy dregs go. Like us. Perfect.' And the die was cast. Anyway, it was about ten minutes after that that someone else asked, 'And how're we gonna fund this magnificent erect organ of delight and entertainment?' So we slowly whittled down the options (most of them illegal, improbable and downright stupid) to books and T-shirts and metal signs and stuff like that. And these tees were our first, so be nice to them. They've got a special place in our twisted hearts, you know?

 

 

Cool crash helmets from Sump

 

 

 

Premier Vintage BTR
open face helmet

 £279.95

 FREE POSTAGE!

 


Jet helmets are classics, and no mistake. We've got about eight of 'em kicking around here hailing from the 70s, 80s, 90s—plus a few more recent additions. So okay, old lids are pretty much dead lids. You need to hang 'em on the wall or stick aspidistras in them and move on—which is where the Premier Vintage BTR open-face crash helmet comes in.

 

It's a new and modern twist on an old theme and neatly recreates a style that many of us remember from our youth, and want to enjoy all over again.

So okay, it's not at the top of the helmet tree, but it certainly ain't in the basement. It's simply a good quality mid-range lid manufactured to exacting standard at sold at a very competitive price. And we're betting that most riders reading this are long overdue for a lid replacement. Are we right?

Premier Trophy BTR-8
full face helmet

 £299.95

FREE POSTAGE!



Looking for a cool 1970s-style full-face lid? Okay. Try this Premier BTR-8 for size. Its retro design faithfully summons the curves and colours of one of the greatest eras in motorcycling. And to ensure you get exactly the right patina, Italian firm Premier has already thrown this one down the road a few times, metaphorically speaking that is. Beyond that, these lids are built to exacting structural standards and are designed to keep you as safe as possible in what can sometimes be a dangerous world.

 

The shell is an advanced DCA multi-axial structure composed of carbon, dyneema and aramid fibres. And the differentiated density EPS is there to ensure maximum protection when push comes to spill (and if all that petro-chemical molecular jargon means anything to you, you probably need to get out on the bike some more).

Premier Vintage OP9 BM
open face helmet

 £279.95

 FREE POSTAGE!

 


Here's another cool looking Jet-style open-face lid from Premier Helmet's Vintage Collection. The thing about crash helmets is you can spend a month of Sundays studying the materials technicalities and construction differences and exploring the testing regimes, etc, but what it comes down to is this; a £500 helmet doesn't offer double the protection of a £250 helmet. A £500 lid isn't even 25 percent better, and possibly not even 10 percent. In fact, the objective improvement in protection might not even be measurable between the two.

 

Often, what you're paying for are other factors such as build quality, or finish, or long-term comfort, or sophisticated ventilation systems, or the name of the company plastered on the side, and/or numerous other factors.

Premier Trophy Retro
full face helmet

 £299.95

FREE POSTAGE!



If you've ever been to Bonneville Salt Flats you'll know that this legendary locale in Utah, USA has an atmosphere. A vibe. A pull. Since the early days of motor racing, riders and drivers have flocked to Bonneville intent on pushing speed to the limit and proving their worth at maximum velocity.

 

We Sumpheads might have tried a few runs ourselves. But the truth is, around here we're all cissies. As such we look for lesser challenges in life. Like paying the bills and keeping the fridge full of beer.

 

But we have our occasional speedy moments, and when we do play the part, we like to dress the part. Hence our interest in this Premier Trophy Retro full face crash helmet. It's simple. It's economical in design. It's a motorcycling icon.

Sump mechanics

workshirt £26.99

All purpose street & garage wear

Satisfaction guaranteed

 

We spend much of our miserable lives in the garage. Usually we're fixing bikes and stuff, and all too often we're re-fixing the stuff we ought to have fixed properly the first time around.

 

So it goes.

 

Anyway, we wanted to increase our product range (that's partly how we fund Sump) and we've been thinking for some time about introducing workshirts and general shirts that we might want to wear when the weather closes in—which is most of the time in the UK. Anyway, this is the result; our first Sump branded garage/all purpose shirt.

 

The Sump logo is featured above the left-side pocket only (notice how we cunningly avoided saying "breast"?). The image quality is very good and will last the life of the shirt.

 

We think these are pretty good quality and worth the money. First come, first served, etc.

 

Hit the button below, baby...

 

 

 

 

 

 

BSA M20/M21

mechanics workshirt £26.99

All purpose street & garage wear

Original and exclusive to Sump

 

Seems that plenty of folk love our BSA M20/M21 T-shirt design which features the above roundel. So, to widen the appea we decided to reproduce it on a more formal shirt that you might want to wear in the garage or in the magistrate's court.

 

The shirts are 100% cotton twill, which means they're tougher than ordinary cotton. We wear these ourselves, and we're perfectly happy with them—and we're nothing if not hard to please. Follow the links and see if they're right for you (Hint: they probably are).

 

The BSA M20/M21 roundel is featured above the left-side pocket only. And when you wear this, other BSA folk will notice and might even become your friend and take you out for walks and stuff. It happens.

 

The image quality is very good and will last the life of the shirt. You know you want it, and you know we've got it.

 

Cool biker T-shirt from Sump

BAD-ASS BIKER T-shirt £19.99

So you're getting on a bit, but it ain't over yet...

 

Having a good sense of humour can extend your life. Look at Ken Dodd. He's about 150 years old and still laughing. And even if he croaked tomorrow (which we sincerely hope he doesn't), he would still have proved the scientists right. Humour really is the best medicine. It does things with the chemicals in your brain. Good chemicals. And if it doesn't work immediately, double the dosage. That's why we invented this BAD ASS BIKER T-shirt. It will make both you and other people smile and laugh, and it's available without prescription. Click on the image and take a closer look at what it says. And start smiling. It's healthy, non-fattening and highly contagious.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Classic motorcycle metal signs make great gifts

 

Classic bike metal signs from £8.99

You can't get these

anywhere else

 

We were hanging around in the garage which had about six nude calendars on the wall. Lady nudes, that is. None of that six-pack fella stuff. Don't ask us where the calendars came from. They just ... appeared. Anyway, a heating engineer came around that day to fix the boiler-thingy in the garage. He took a look at the calendars and gave us a lecture on sexism. Can you believe that? We stood there with jaws hanging loose as this middle-aged baldy bloke explained the damage we were doing to girldom. Or womandom. We said, "We take your point, but the calendars are up now. If you don't tell, we won't." He wasn't impressed, so we acquiesced to his more delicate sensibilities and got some tin signs instead. But we miss the girls...

£27.99

 


Our BSA M20 & M21 T-shirts are top sellers. But occasionally it gets a little chilly and you need a top coat. Or a top hoodie. We should have introduced these years ago. But we kept looking the other way even though we had a few requests for 'em. What's changed now is that you can request one, and you can actually get one. Press the button below and read the details. We'll get one off to you faster than a vicious rumour. You won't be disappointed. Delivery usually takes just 24 hours when in stock, or three days to one week if we're caught short.

 

Sizes: S, M, L, XL, and XXL

 

 

 

 

 

 

Triumph Bonneville hoodie

Comfortable clobber for Bonnie boys & girls

£27.99

 


Here at Sump we own and ride Triumph Bonnevilles. Not only, that is, but also. That's to say, we have numerous bikes in the garage from BSA to Norton to AJS (and more recently a Matchless in bits), but our Bonnies are the ones that see most tarmac. And why not? They're easy on the eye, reliable, good handling, comfortable, and give us the easy going performance we prefer. So it was only natural that we might want to develop a hoodie to go with our bikes. And you can have one too. These are good quality hoods at the right price, and they'll last a long time if you don't do anything too stupid in them. Just make sure you buy from us because people are pirating just about anything these days, and the rip-off quality invariably takes a hit. Delivery usually takes just 24 hours when in stock, or three days to one week if we're caught short.

 

Sizes: S, M, L, XL, and XXL

 

 

 

 

BSA hoodie

Perfectly warm, and very cool

£27.99

 


We work hard to get all our products just right. We conceive 'em, design 'em, test 'em, kick 'em around a little, argue about 'em, and then do what we can to make them that little bit better. That's because we're fussy people. When we buy stuff, we want good quality at a fair price. And we don't see why you should expect any less. These BSA (Classic British Motorcycle Engineering) hoodies will last you years if you look after them. But they'll also take a lot of abuse. We know that to be true because we abuse the hell out of ours. Press the button below and we'll get one off to you faster than a vicious rumour. You won't be disappointed. Delivery usually takes just 24 hours when in stock, or three days to one week if we're caught short.

Bonneville Speed Trials hoodie

Great quality at the right price

£27.99

 


Our Bonneville Speed Trials hoodies are ideal clobber for when you're out there on the salt watching the racing. We know because we tried 'em out for size. And they're pretty good to wear just about anywhere else. We pick our stuff carefully because we're fussy shoppers. We want what we want, and that's good value for money—and we suspect all you guys and girls out there in realityland expect the same. So follow the button below and we'll get one off to you faster than a Bonneville speedster. Or almost. You won't be disappointed. Delivery usually takes just 24 hours when in stock, or three days to one week if we're caught short.

 

Sizes: S, M, L, XL, and XXL

 

 

 

 

Grumpy Old Biker hoodie

Miserable bastards should try one for size...

£27.99

 

 

When it comes to being grumpy, we've got it nailed and could grump for England. And we're not ashamed to admit it. We are what we are, and by the time you reach a "certain age" with most of your best years behind you (but not all of them, we hope), you need to give your family, friends and passing strangers a mild warning that they could be looking at the next Hannibal Lecter.

SO WATCH OUT!!!

... hence this Grumpy Old Biker hoodie.

 

Actually, we eased up a little and removed the bad language and the fake bloodstains before we approved the design. But we all agreed that the gun, hand grenade and knuckle duster could stay. There's a fine line here. Right?

 

We keep a small stock and can usually get one in the post faster than a punch in the gob. But if we're out of stock, we'll get one despatched from our printers within a few days, or maybe a little longer if a weekend gets in the way.

 

But it will be worth the wait, and you won't be disappointed. Meanwhile, keep working on that anger management stuff and buy now before you do something stupid.

 

Sizes: S, M, L, XL, and XXL

 

 

 

Route 66 biker hoodie from Sump

 

Route 66 hoodie

Travel your road in style

£27.99

 


We've travelled Route 66. Twice actually, and it was one of the best times in our lives. Moreover, we also travelled up the Pacific Coast from LA to San Francisco, and then back across the USA. Route 66 is one of those highways that practically all petrolheads will at some point in their lives want to travel. So, to help illustrate the journey, we produced our own Route 66 Road Trip guide. With that in mind, we suggest you take a close look at that guide, then begin formulating your own "66" travelling plans by buying one of these hoodies to help keep your mind focussed on your goal. We usually keep a stock ready to despatch. But if we've sold out of your size, we'll get a freshly printed one to you in 3 days to a week (and we always strive to make it sooner rather than later). These hoodies are good quality. You won't be disappointed. Buy now.

 

 

Sizes: S, M, L, XL, and XXL
 

 



 

 

 

 

Vincent Black Shadow hoodie

Sump's modest homage to the legend

£27.99

 


Is there anyone on the planet who doesn't like Vincent Motorcycles? There probably is. But we've never met anyone who didn't have a good word to say about Stevenage's most famous son. We've ridden a couple, but sadly neither was a Black Shadow. These sensational motorcycles are simply way too expensive for our limited coin. But that doesn't mean we can't express our interest and fascination in other ways. Hence these cool Vincent Black Shadow hoodies. We spent a lot of time on the design. They're available only from us—unless they're being pirated, in which case the quality won't be as good. We usually keep a small stock of all sizes ready to despatch. But if we've sold out of your size, we'll get a freshly printed one to you in 3 days to a week (and we always strive to make it sooner rather than later). These hoodies are good quality. You won't be disappointed. Buy now.

He said he felt a bit awkward. He said he wasn't used to cameras. So we gave him lots of instructions. How to look cool. How to look slim. How to look hunky. Stuff like that. He said "Okay, I'll 'ave a go." So we got the Box Brownie out. And guess what? The bastard was a natural. This guy's so cool he could start a new ice age. He's a real Beeza Geeza, and we gave him a Beeza Geeza T-shirt to warm him up a little.

Essential motorcycle locks from Sump...

We take motorcycle security seriously. So should you

 

 

Typhoon shackle lock

£34.99

 

This is a large shackle lock that will give you extra protection for your motorcycle. The overall dimensions are 15.5-inches x 5.5-inches (393mm x 139mm).

The internal shackle dimension are approximately 12-inches x 3.5-inches (310mm x 90mm). The lock weighs around 5lbs (2.25kg). Three keys are supplied. The bright green colour will help remind you that you've got the lock in place, and it will help deter the opportunist thief from messing with your property. For more convincing security, we recommend a heavy duty chain lock such as the Fury (1.8m) or Nimrod (1.5m). Check the details of these locks. [More information...]

 

 

 

 

 

Fury chain lock (1.8m)

£129.99

 

The Fury chain lock is a MONSTER. The combined weight (lock and chain) is around 17.5lbs (8 kilos) which makes it more suitable for home use than for toting around on your travels. But you can transport this if you need to. Either way, it's a very serious deterrent to all but the hardcore thieves with the correct thievery tools. And even then, a lot of these guys will look for an easier target.

 

The chain is made from CroMo steel. The lock has various anti-pick/anti-drill features. We have one of these and we're happy to recommend it. Just remember that motorcycle security needs a range of anti-theft measures. The Fury, however, is a great start—and you can start here. [More information...]
 

 

 

Heavy duty ground anchor

£52.99


No ground anchor? Well it's a MUST for serious home security. We could have offered a smaller, cheaper item. But small and cheap ain't gonna help when the thieves come calling.

This ground anchor weighs 3.75lbs (1.7kg), has a 5-inch square footprint and is made from 5mm steel plate. It's also double walled and is supplied with four M10 rawl bolts c/w anti-tamper bearings.

Ideally you'll have one of these for each of your motorcycles. But you have to start somewhere, and this is a great beginning for your new, or revised, security screen. Will perfectly suit the 1.8m Fury chain lock. [More information...]
 

 

 

Tempest disc lock

£29.99


What's yellow-green, slips easily over most motorcycle discs, offers cost-effective additional security, and is available right here on Sump?

Okay, you already know the answer to that one. But what you might not know is that postage and packing, as with all Sump locks, costs just £1.

For portable, convenient and highly visible bike security, these are ideal. Just remember that motorcycle security is an on-going concern. We advise you to buy a more substantial chain lock or shackle lock for added protection. [More information...]
 

 

Disc lock reminder

£2.99


Remember to remember this one when buying our Tempest disc lock, or if you've already got a disc lock on your bike.

More than one biker has come to a sudden and unforgiving halt when trying to ride away having forgotten that one or more of his discs has been bolted.

This little reminder will go a long way to protect both you and your bike. It will also send a visible signal to opportunist thieves that your wheels, are not for the taking. [More information...]
 

 

Nimrod CroMo chain lock £64.99


The Nimrod CroMo chain lock is a baby brother to the Fury. But it's still a serious handful of heavy duty steel that weighs a little over 11lbs (5kg).

We're offering it with a 1.5 metre chain to help keep it portable whilst increasing your chances of looping it around a fixed object when you're out and about (and we know how hard it can be sometimes to locate and employ a suitable item of street furniture). The lock is supplied with three keys and a fabric sheath to protect your paintwork or chrome. Nice. [More information...]

BSA Golden Flash ebook

 

BSA Golden Flash
eBook £4.99

 

Take note, people, that this is an electronic book, not paper. It's PC friendly, but it doesn't like Macs and might not work on other platforms. It was designed on a PC for other PCs. Put simply, it's a photo-extension of Sump's BSA Golden Flash buyers guide. Try it. But note that this is an exe file. A self-running program. We say it's safe, but do you trust us? Hint: Our mother's wouldn't...

 

 

Motorcycle safety sticker

 

STOP: Broken neck?
helmet sticker
£1.95 (pair)

 

Yes, it's a grim sticker. No one wants to be reminded of the fact that motorcycling carries risks. But everything we do has inherent dangers, and we need to be aware of that fact.

 

This particular risk concerns the dangers of removing a crash helmet at the scene of a road accident. Most "first responders" and even members of the public are pretty savvy about not making matters worse, but we ain't taking any more chances than we have to. Nor should you.

 

Note: postage and packing is free when combined with other orders. Discount will be applied either automatically on purchase, or when we review the order.

 

UPDATE: Concerns have been raised regarding helmet stickers. Some feel that the problem of further injury due to helmet removal (following an accident) is overstated—meaning that in some instances it might well be necessary to remove a lid to check if an injured rider is breathing or choking. We agree with that. Broadly. Our advice is to explore the variety of information before making a sticker purchasing decision. And maybe we should clarify a point; if a rider is lying in the road following a smash and is otherwise safe and comfortable, we suggest risking no further harm until a qualified (whatever that means) first responder is at the scene. We also suggest that riders should attend a suitable training course such as the Biker Down! scheme. Google it and see what's currently available.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brough Superior SS100 metal sign

 

Brough Superior SS100
metal sign
£14.99 - BACK IN STOCK

 

These are also designed by us at Sump, and you can buy them only from us (so beware of cheap imitations).

We tried not to get too fancy. Instead, we aimed for something that George Brough himself would have approved of. Something fairly modest, yet stylish. Something clear and crisp and clean.

Like us.

Most of us are never going to ride a Brough Superior let alone own one. Then again, you can get carried away with these things. The real fun of
any motorcycle is the fact that they take you places, and you can do that on plenty of other motorcycle marques.

Still, a spin around a block on a Brough would be kinda ... well, interesting.

Meanwhile, you can enjoy our Brough Superior metal garage sign. We call it the "Rolls Royce of Signs". But then, you gotta ham it up a little in this world if you want to make a few quid.

Ask George Brough.

BSA M20 & M21 magnetic notepad  £3.99

 

Actually, it's a magnetic aide memoir and a magnet. Remember to buy this, and you can forget to remember everything else. Stick it on your fridge. You know the drill.

 

 

Triumph Bonneville
magnetic notepad  £3.99

 

Memory's a tricky thing. We can't remember how many things in life we wanted to remember, and then promptly forgot. But hey, we always know exactly where the beer is, and that's in the fridge. Hence this fridge-friendly magnetic reminder gizmo. Whatever else you forget today, try not to forget this...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

THINK BIKE bumper sticker  - £1.95

 

 

THINK BIKE bumper sticker

 

We don't have to explain this sticker, except to add that we wanted to put our own stamp on an old message. The sticker is made of vinyl. The dimensions are 210 x 40mm. It's designed to sit on your rear bumper (or wherever you can fit it) and help drive home the familiar message that drivers (in particular) need to look EXTRA HARD for motorcycles. We included the Sump goggles device to help reinforce the vision/motorcycle thing.

 

Note: postage and packing is free when combined with other orders. Discount will be applied either automatically on purchase, or when we review the order.

 

 

IDIOTS TAILGATE bumper sticker - £1.95

 

 

IDIOTS TAILGATE bumper sticker

 

Tailgating is one of the main causes of traffic accidents (and one of our pet peeves). It isn't simply that the fool behind is driving so close that he actually runs into you. It's also a problem because tailgaters are a major distraction, which means that the tailgatee (to coin a new word) is more likely to run into the vehicle ahead of him or her, or make some other error.

 

In short, tailgating kills.

 

We've been hit on two wheels and on four. So we're fighting back. Yes, it's probably bows and arrows against the lightning. But it's either this, or doing nothing (until they licence handguns and make murder legal). So come and join our mini-crusade aimed at making the roads a little safer. The dimensions of this sticker are 210mm x 45mm. The material is vinyl. Will suit boot/tailgate or bumper.

 

Note: postage and packing is free when combined with other orders. Discount will be applied either automatically on purchase, or when we review the order.

 

 

CAUTION: FRONT & REAR CAMERAS bumper sticker - £1.95

 

 

CAUTION: FRONT AND REAR CAMERAS bumper sticker

 

Do we really have cameras on our own vehicles? We certainly do (see this Sump Comment piece for details). We also wear helmet cameras whenever we're on the road, and the cameras have paid off more than once. We're talking hard cash here. Moreover, our cameras have led to at least a couple of prosecutions (and have jerked the leads of numerous silly truckers).

 

Of course, cameras don't make everyone moderate their behaviour. But they do inhibit many drivers from doing stupid things on the road, and we recommend investing in the available technology (which is cheaper every day, and with higher and higher resolution). But even if you haven't yet splashed out for an in-car/on-bike camera system, you can still wear a sticker and bluff it (Tip: Get a proper camera sooner rather than later).

 

These stickers are made of vinyl. The dimensions of this sticker are 210mm x 45mm. The material is vinyl. Will suit boot/tailgate or bumper, or even a top box.

 

Shame that we have to live in a world where we need security cameras. But that's the world we live in. Get over it.

 

Note: postage and packing is free when combined with other orders. Discount will be applied either automatically on purchase, or when we review the order.

Postal costs & discounts

 

Postal costs are high these days, particularly if you live on the opposite side of the world from the UK.

We do everything we can to keep costs down. But there are certain realities here.

However, if we can arrange postal discounts anywhere, we will.

Above all else, although (like any business) we very occasionally screw-up the odd order, we won't cheat you. So if you have a problem anywhere, just email us and we'll slap someone around here and will sort it out.

Pronto.

We wouldn't take any nonsense from anyone, and we wouldn't expect you to take any from us.

And remember to come back soon. We're looking at a lot of other stuff.

Let's do some business.

 

 

Puncture repair kit

Essential for the road

£29.95


The first time you have to use this kit, it will convert you to Christianity—or maybe some other religion. Either way, you'll be grateful to someone. Or something. Of course, this won't suit classic bikes with inner tubes. It's purely a tubeless kit—and pretty much everyone with tubeless tyres should have one. What's that? You've already signed up to a breakdown service? Well great. The last time we waited for a recovery van to show up, it took three hours.

Click on the image above, or fish around for a link, and you'll get a bite from our Puncture Repair Kit Buying Page. We wouldn't leave home without one. You shouldn't either.

 

 

 

SORRY! This item is out of stock

Anyone can suffer a snapped cable on their motorcycle. It happens. But only the guys and girls who look ahead are able to fix the problem for themselves at the roadside. We've been there and done it. Many times. Now it's your turn. So hit the link above. Swoosh over to our buying page. Do the business. Then get on with the rest of your life. Whatever else goes wrong for you and your bike, snapped motorcycle cables won't ever again give you undue cause for concern. Okay?

WAITING FOR YOUR SUMP ORDER?

 

If you've recently bought a Sump T-shirt, a book, a motorcycle lock, a framed print, a tin wall sign or whatever, and if your order hasn't arrived, you might want to check your email spam box. We regularly find that customers have failed to give the information we need to process the order (size, full address, style, colour, etc).

 

If there's a query, we make three attempts to contact buyers, and if we get no reply, we cancel the order and return any payment. But that can lead to disappointment, especially if the item is a gift for someone. So if you haven't heard from us within 24 hours of placing your order, please check your spam box, or contact us again.
