Greg Baynes - Owner/Manager
Greg's life has always been about motorcycles. It all started at a young age when he swept floors at a local motorcycles shop where he lived. A fully qualified motorcycle technician himself, he knows what he is talking about. Greg calls on a wealth of experience and knowledge to give his customers the level of service and expertise they deserve. An accomplished Cross Country and Motocross racer, Greg likes nothing better than getting out in the dirt and pushing the boundaries. Actively racing his bike and now organizing the annual Southland Cross Country Series, you can say Greg gets amongst it.
