    After twenty years at WMCC I'll be moving on.

    Wellington Motorcycles as you all know it is about to wind down, so I'll need a new home after 20 years there! I have another three months there...so you'd best all come and get some MEAN deals before I shuffle off!

    Dunno where I'll end up or what I'll do...but I'm looking forward to a change of scenery I must say. To all of you good folk that have purchased bikes from me there over the years, a huge thank you to you all!!! I look forward to seeing you out on the road on my old Slabbie!

    Cheers,

    Pete

    Carbon Group in Auckland are looking for someone to work in their moto-cafe. Rumour* has it you make a 'killer' coffee. Grow an ironic moustache and serious beard and you'd fit right in.

    Even though I am in Akl, I always try and visit when I am in Welly, even if its just looking in the window when you are closed.
    The staff and shop are always friendly and helpful.

    I will miss it. Good luck Crasher

    They where Suzuki only in those days?

    Jeepers thats a biker Wellington Icon gone?
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    Garry and Steve are winding things down. Not sure if there's gonna be a Harley dealer in Welly at all now. More than likely not. They're going out to Petone and doing used HD's and other makes. May pick up another franchise...who knows.

    Half price HDs for everyone?
    I spotted a mention of WM dropping HD on facebook but assumed it was interweb lies.
    I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.

    Sad news Pete.

    You are as they say ' a fair dinkum good bloke' I've bought 3 bikes off WMCC some years back but sorry to say the recent brands/models just never pulled the right strings for me, nothing to do with you or your suspect coffee skills Pete.

    The shop is an icon along with Pete and one I will miss strolling by admiring the always impressive shine on those Harleys. Going to the Embassy flicks was a compulsory bike perv. opportunity.
    When I fell for Triumph the franchise moved. When I was so, so close to getting a Buell 1130 - they went out of production.

    All the best Pete and I will be in next week to say hello. Oh, no, no.. no need for a coffee. I'll bring a thermos.

    All the best mate,must feel a bit strange moving on after so long as it did for me many years ago when i left Rutherford/Bond Toyota (Cable price when i started) up in Wellington after many great years.No doubt the next adventure wont take long to realise as nobody makes a living in sales as long as you have without being well good at it.Have fun and as i say "all the very best".
