New bike shop in the Hutt - Valley Yamaha

[BMWST?]

Sawyers was in Taranaki Street before they moved to Cambridge Tce.

Bike Clinic was another shop located in Tory Street with the superbly talented Dallas Rankine working his magic on all manner of Ducatis.

I used to work for Pete when he was on the cnr of Ebor St.

He also used to have a shop in Upper Hutt. I wrote a Z1R off that he gave me for a test ride.

from memory Chris Dawes use to run this shop at one stage.
Crhis died in a racing incident at manfeild a few years back, long after he moved to wanganui so wasn't involved with this at the time
