MEET OLLY GASKELL
Olly Gaskell is the heart and soul of The Alternative Speed Shop. A motorbiker through and through, Olly’s been living the two-wheeled life for over 25 years. Whether it’s the thrill of the open road, the roar of an engine, or the satisfaction of a perfectly tuned machine, Olly’s passion for bikes runs deep.
For the past 10 years, he’s channelled that passion into running The Alternative Speed Shop, turning it into a go-to destination for riders who value top-notch service with a personal touch. From everyday maintenance to custom builds, Olly’s commitment to quality and attention to detail shine through in every project.
When he’s not working on bikes, Olly’s usually riding one. With a collection that’s officially over five (the real number’s a bit of a secret from his wife), Olly’s garage is as diverse as his experience – a mix of classics, beasts, and custom creations that reflect his love for all things motorbike.
At The Alternative Speed Shop, Olly isn’t just your mechanic – he’s your fellow biker, always ready to share advice, swap stories, and help you get the most out of your ride. So, whether you’re here for a quick tune-up, an MOT, or to chat about your next big custom idea, you’re in good hands with Olly.
