About

Rick

Director/General Manager

Motorcycling is my passion.  I have spent my life surrounded by bikes and I am totally involved in the motorcycling lifestyle.  My experience in the motorcycle industry spans about 20 years.  I began turning spanners in the late 80's and joined Motorcycle Replacements in 1992.  After 8 years I grabbed an opportunity that took me to Auckland where I gained valuable experience working in the motorcycle wholesale industry.  It was another well-timed opportunity that bought me back to Dunedin as the new owner of Motorcycle Replacements Ltd (2004).   I like to be actively involved in motorcycle related events such as track days, motorcycle rallies and adventures rides. My involvement in these events also helps me keep a pulse on the market and make sure I'm offering our customers the best deals and latest products to best suit their needs and requirements.

Raquel

Electronic Communications Manager/Boss of 'the Boss'

After a period of being at home with my children, I have taken on the role of keeping our customers informed through our website, newsletters and social networking services.  Sharing a motorcycle lifestyle with my husband Rick, I enjoy supporting him in events and thrive in the social side of motorcycling and riding as a pillion.  We have had many exciting rides together, sometimes fast and sometimes not so fast.  We've ridden most parts of New Zealand and have even done a bit of adventure riding (at times with unexpected swims in the river crossings).  I love it all.    I try to offer our customers a personable experience with MCR.  You are important to us and we want you to know it.

Edith

Accounts/General Manager

I have been involved in the motorcycle community for many years.  I volunteered for 9 years at the Dunedin Motorcycle School doing skills handling tests. I have had my own motorcycle license for 25 years and have enjoyed many motorcycle rallies.  Throughout my time in motorcycling I have endeavored to share my experience and knowledge through a variety of ways including time I spent in BRONZ Otago as Secretary.  My administration skills and knowledge of motorcycles are now paramount in my role at MCR

Jeremy

Sales Manager

I enjoy working with motorcycles in general and working on my own dirt bike.  I've been in the motorcycle industry for 4 years and thrive on the social side of motorcycling such as motorcycle rallies and the MCR social rides.  I also have an interest in organized trail rides that spans over the past 13 years.  I enjoy dealing with people and thrive on the buzz of making 'that sale'.

Dave

Parts & Accessories Manager

Dirt bikes have always been my thing since my early teens.  I have been lucky to ride X Country and MX events on & off over the past 18 years.  With my involvement in the motorcycle industry I have expanded my riding experiences to enjoy a mixture of road riding and especially adventure riding.  I have been involved in the motorcycle industry since 2004 sharing my expertise in the area of parts and accessory sales.  The parts and accessories industries are a constantly changing world with new and innovative designs and merchandise becoming available everyday.  It's great to be a part of it.

Rebecca

Workshop Manager

I have always had a passion for motorcycles and have been involved in many aspects of motorcycling.  My involvement in the Otago Motorcycle Club has lead to roles such as committee member, Brass Monkey secretary and now my MNZ stewarding ticket, recently passing my grade 3 exam in both road and off-road means I can now run motorcycle events in my spare time (if I'm not out riding my Ducati 900ss).  I have been involved in the motorcycle industry for 4 ½ years.  When the chance to run MCRs workshop came up,  my passion was set in concrete as a career.  There are many things in life that come naturally and mine is the day to day running and organizing of the best service available for our customers.

Mike

Diagnostic and Repair Technician

I am a fully qualified motorcycle mechanic with 25 years of experience in the motorcycle industry.  I participate in and enjoy motorcycling events such as Road Racing and Bucket Racing and do some off road riding as well.

Brad

Diagnostic and Repair Technician

I enjoy working around machinery and have worked around trucks,  quarries and operating machinery in the past.  I have been in the motorcycle industry for 3 years and am currently qualified by experience.  I am intending on doing an adult apprenticeship next year to gain my full qualifications.  I enjoy tinkering at home and have a good workshop that allows me to have completed a couple of homebuilt trailers and other projects.

In the motorcycling scene I have done a bit of dirt riding and love road trips and have completed a couple of South Island tours. I also enjoy the motorcycle rally scene.  I have owned a number of bikes in my time and this interest in bikes is now evident in my son.  I look forward to sharing some memorable experiences with him in the future.
