Is there room for a new bike shop in WGTN

[Colapop]

Actually there are 2 in Kapiti now, Twin Cam and Hi-Torque...

What are they like? And where are they located?

Twin Cam is down by the airport, Hes pretty good. Saved me a few times in my early days.

Hi Torque are in the old Firestone building by Guy Weavers. Phil (the mechanic) used to work for us, untill his mate (Dave Freeman) hit him up about opeing up a shop.
Nice guys. Drop in and check em out.

[Sparky Bills]

For the record...

I try my best, but im doing Parts and Accessories by myself, so if i seem abit rushed everynow and then thats why.
Compared to other shops who have 4+ parts/accessories people, i think i do pretty good.
The shop has never been tidier, and we seem to be constantly selling new products.
We are one of the largest shops in Wellington now, and there are big plans on the cards.

All i can say is...

WATCH THIS SPACE!!

It'd be brilliant. We could go back to concentrating on going for a ride and only stopping for petrol and toilet breaks.

Umm...you didnt see the bit about the petrol stations being closed did you Jim...

Yes I did.

Never used to make any difference if you planned your route and dropped in at a few friendly farmers. It's called lateral thinking applied to a community ethos. Do favours for people when you can and call them in when you need them.

Wots a bike shop?

[Skunk]

It's where *you* buy gaiters Paul...

Did someone mention GAITERS. You don't get them at bike shops , though, you get them from your friendly local Army Surplus. In Dorkland, opposite the billboard in K Rd, the one with the massive mammaries.

Having lived in Wgtn now almost all my 41 years I have dealt with almost all the shops around ranging from Dallas Rankine at Bike Clinic in Tory Street through Sawyers in Taranaki Street and Cambridge Terrace and Lawton Boyle (now Boyles) in Adelaide Road to Wellington Motorcycles, Motomart and TSS.

I actually believe that we in Wellington are spoilt for choice in both bike sales and service. The service I receive at WMC is first rate (and has always been- even when I didn't own a HD), Kerry and Barry at Sawyers rock, SparkyBill at Motomart is always on the ball and the guys at TSS - well that has been covered previously....nothing short of fantastic.

I can't see why we would need another shop......if they dont have what I want...there is always Lou G..once again thanks for the boots!!!!! anyway my 2 cents worth

And we had weekend fuel rationing. I still managed to get around the South Island on one of my honeymoons despite it.

I'm going into business selling homemade gaiters.

Ixion is my marketing man but the gaiters are all handcrafted in my modern, well-equipped workshop.

Two models are available.

PM me for details or to place an order.

Hey Sparky,
you do a sweet job man. If I wasn't already Kerry's bitch, you'ld see more of me for sure. Even though the Hutt is like a foreign country to me. Is it just me or do others always get lost over there?
