Bike shop closures

[wysper]

an ad-hoc list of recent closures would include:

Central Districts May 08
East City June 08
Masterton July 08
Motoxtreme July 08
Phil Turnbull September 08
Motoworld Powersports January 09
Honda Otago March 09

Not meant to be an exhaustive list, just a mild fascination (I keep thinking of that numb-skull who reckoned there was no recession provided he kept his job)

Interesting, can you list how many bike shops have opened over the same period?

Yamaha has been picked up by Trevor Pierce which is good - finally a dealer who is passionate about the brand,

Big ups for Trevor Pierce.... one of very few Christchurch outfits to open the doors over show weekend. Rolling Thunder also seem to realise the tills do better with the front door unlocked....

Motorcycling is fucked now. The cost is too high. Tyres, chains, oil, accessories, spare parts, all fucked. Regos, warrants, fucked. Tickets, fucked. Workshop prices, fucked.
