Hey,

I searched the forums but didnt get much help so was wondering where the best places are in Christchurch to buy gear (helmet, gloves etc)?
Just looking for big range of gear so I can get everything I need.
Thanx alot,

Budget Motorcycle Spares, Wilsons Road (down the road from Lancaster Park/AMI Stadium);
The multitude of bike shops down Manchester Street;
Leather Direct
Leather Image
There are others - I'm sure someone will be along with some suggestions.

Just Motorcycles have a couple of options, not a huge range. (maybe only 1 or 2 options)

Avon City Suzuki have some gear. (near avon city ford)

Hampton Honda, Carmen Road in Hornby.

I got my jacket on special from street and sport on Manchester st.

Escuta sell some helmets and other things, they are on Allen Street (just off manchester street)

Probably some other places too

.....dont forget Don at Pitlane who is now working from a building behind the Manchester St shop....he has been badly affected by earthquake shit and could do with our support...as he has always looked after us....

Very true. Also Chch don't have Wendy's. It is the sole reason why I grieve and I became an Emo.

Ditto

Don has seen a lot of these johnny come latelys arrive on the scene & depart & he'll keep on going; so keep him going as he's done for us over the years

If you know your sizes, http://ridersdiscount.com/ They have a flat rate $25 'anywhere' intl. shipping charge.

I've brought in well over $2000 of gear from this website and they've never dissappointed.
