Wellington bike shops?

**Berries** · 12th October 2015, 21:54

Am in the market for a new bike and there is nothing I fancy in Dunedin at the moment. Off to Welly in a couple of weeks so want to have a look around. Normally drop in to Wellington Motorcycles but I heard it has closed, so that leaves Motorad and, if they still exist, Sawyers up from the Basin. Is there anything else within walking distance of the CBD these days?

And if anyone says use the search function sod off, I have never got it to work.

Wellington M/c's have moved to petone, If you are feeling adventurous, catch the hutt line trains, You also have TSS at Ava, again an easy walk, both less than 5 mins walk form the respective stations.

use the search function and look for a $30 rental car, that'll get you around to all the shops in the region

Yes, well, I figured the KB massive could give me the lowdown much betterer than Google. For instance the first result was Wellington Motorcycles which I thought was shut so that was no use. Now I have some names I can use Google to find out how far away they are from the office.

What flavor of joy-filled ride are you after? Or just window shopping? Some goodness in CHCH worth a look and a nice spin home.

It might come to that as I only have a couple of hours spare in Wellington. Have been window shopping for far too long, this time I am buying. Instead of narrowing down the list though it seems to be getting longer every day. The little voices in my head tell me that one day I have to have a GSXR750.

go to one bike shop, and take a test bike out for the day, you should cover all the shops on that...
