That was silly, I asked the Mr Crazy Pants to fix it for you/me
Anyway, about that bike wash...

Waa?
Well that sucks!
Having been down this road myself, I know about 1% of what Mike must be feeling.
To put your hart and sole into a business and have it fold around you hurts.
I was keeping bikes I have owned alive with the parts Mike sold me since I was about 13 years old!
Brought a couple of bikes from him over the years too…
It’s a shame to lose another bike shop.
I know he would have fought it to the end, and I hope we’ll see him back behind a counter soon.
Where do we stand now?
Considering the closed doors of the shops we used to haunt.
We have AMPS, BMW, Red Barron, Colman’s and the place in New Market, with half a dozen scoot shops in Auckland.
Suzuki and Honda on the Shore, Botany Honda out south
Treads and Motomail doing gear,
Bout 1.5 million in Auckland and just a handful of bike shops?
ACC may soon get their wish, if we can’t buy them, we can’t ride them!
Sorry if I overlooked anyone!
We all have our little obsessions...

Who wants to open the best motorbike shop not in Auckland but the world with me??
We'll sell all the coolest bikes. None'o this Hyo sushi shit.
We'll have the sexiest bikini clad models assisting the customers and salesmen. They'll be required to wheel the bike out for you when you buy it and pose so you can take some tasty photos for your new photo album.
We'll recruit the best mechanics and give them all the tools.
We'll have a race track out the back with a mini underground tunnel that will help you hear that screaming engine.
We'll have a membership system where you gotta lap our track under a certain time whereby you'll become worthy of our discounts.
The driveway to our showroom would have swooping fast turns and flames spitting out the side.

What has a deer and a fish got to do with it?Maybe they should have sold some bikes.
There's BikeSport in Helensville and the shop in Kumeu that mainly does dirt bikes and the shops in Warkworth - they all draw customers from the wider region

There is a long history of motorcycles on that site - Bill Russell had their workshop down stairs in 1980 at least,not sure when the moved there....but soon went back to their own shop,maybe it was just temporary for a refit? Peter was across the road in an old house with Mt Eden Motorcycle Wreckers,and moved into the top floor the same year,later taking over the whole building.George Tervitt had a car yard on the corner,and this was taken over a few years ago when Mt Eden Motorcycles punched out the wall and expanded.
It was a real hub of motorcycle activities for many years - Laurie Summers and Bill Russell across the road from each other,and Mt Eden Motorcycle Wreckers around the corner.I worked at Boston Motors in 1980,right in the thick of it.

And nothing in West Auckland....
