A lifetime love of motorcycles A passion for motorcycles shared by high school friends led to four becoming professional racers and Lindsay Williamson starting his own motorbike business. That was in 1975 and Christchurch Motorcycles has been serving motorcycle enthusiasts in Christchurch and further afield ever since. The business was one of the first Harley Davidson franchises in New Zealand, then in 1995 Lindsay decided to focus on importing and trading New Zealand second hand Harley Davidson, Victory and Indian motorcycles, along with some Japanese bikes. Five years ago, Christchurch Motorcycles moved from Hornby to their current premises near Lincoln. They sell motorcycles, tyres, batteries and other parts, and services customer’s bikes. Lindsay believes in providing a high level of service. He enjoys the challenge of sourcing quality parts that represent good value at affordable prices and likes to assist customers, advising them on how best to keep their machine running smoothly and in a safe condition. “Whether a customer spends $2 or $2,000, it makes no difference,” says Lindsay. Lindsay likes the day to day contact with
those who come into the shop. “Our customers are great. I value them and their loyalty,” adds Lindsay who advises that their customers travel from across Canterbury and even further. Lindsay’s love of motorcycling includes bike racing. Over the years, he has been a supporter of BEARS motorcycle racing in Canterbury, seeing it as a great discipline for young men and women who become involved with the sport. He is also proactive in lobbying for rights for motorcyclists such as more realistic ACC levies on motorbike
registration. Christchurch Motorcycles’ Lincoln location is particularly handy for people living in Selwyn who can pop into the store on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9am until 5pm, or on Saturdays between 9am and 2pm. At other times, there is a good chance the team at Christchurch Motorcycles will be working out the back so if you need help with a repair to your trusty steed, why not give Lindsay a call on 0274 Lindsay on a 1690cc, 2006 Harley 386 934.
