    Cycletreads in Manchester street and Budget Motorcycle spares in Wilsons road are two places with a large range of stock and brand options

    A few guys here use Don at Cycletreads and have been happy with price and service,I've always been looked after by Trev at Budget but if they're busy the service can be fairly slow

    Budget are OK but live up to there name, think they change them the old fashined way, well they did when I got a rear tyre for my CBR600 last year. Nothing wrong with that though, I suppose.

    As a former Cantabrian (I lived 8km from you Kickaha, in Kaiapoi for 30 years,) this is quite interesting.

    Does anyone know the surname of Trev at Budget. I'm curious if it's the same guy that used to be in the tyre business and race bikes in the 70's-80's. Unfortunately I can't remember his last name, but would probably know it once someone posted it.

    Thanks Gav. That's the guy. I can remember him racing a Suzuki T350. He was no slug at Ruapuna.
