Hey there gang,
Well its been almost a year since our shop burnt down, I thought it might be nice to upload some building illustrations of our proposed new home
Fingers crossed and council approval pending we hope to be trading once again from 5 Lang Road early 2011.

Hey, that's great news! It was such a shock to come along and see the devastation. I bought my bike from you in in 2007 and have always been really pleased with the workshop service and impressed with the availability of gear from you guys. Looking forward to coming into the new shop. Will you be having an opening ceremony? Keep up the good work!!!!

Good luck with the reopening. I visited your store about 3 years ago from interstate when the speedo drive went on my GT550. Staff went out of their way to help, even after closing time on a saturday! Don't see that often from a bike shop. Maybe it is because Newcastle people are that way? I'm biased coz I was born there.

It was because you were from Qld. They must've thought how shit out of luck could one bloke be.
Nice work on the new building, looks impressive but why can't you be in Sydney, we've got nothing down here.

You guys should get a dyno. Been a while since we've had a dyno day

. Be quite a site for 20 odd ksrcians rocking up and making some noise.
