Wemoto Visit

SOME TIME AGO WHILE RESTORING A HONDA CB750K2, I REQUIRED SOME PARTS SO I RANG WEMOTO AT BOMBADERY ON THE SOUTH COAST OF NEW SOUTH WALES AND SPOKE WITH PAVEL, THE OWNER, AS I HAVE DONE MANY TIMES. BEING THE CHAIRMAN OF THE LOWER HUNTER REGION I WAS INVITED TO VISIT THEIR WAREHOUSE WHENEVER I WAS IN THE AREA.

July of this year my partner and myself decided to visit friends at Shell Harbour near Wollongong and on day two I dropped my girl off at the shopping centre and headed off to Wemoto. Wemoto started in 1976 in Wallsend, London, selling parts for Japanese motorcycles and in the 90’s opened up another store in Brighton. In 2008 it had become very popular and bye the year 2015 Pavel, the owner, opened up a franchise in Bombaderry N.S.W. in 2015. Pavel purchases his parts from England and uses DHL for his deliveries they are a little more expensive to use but they get way better results. They supply many parts for the popular Japanese models but have no trouble ordering parts in for models right across the range. Whenever things are quiet in the store/warehouse they also spend time restoring the stores bikes that Pavel has purchased as this gives them a good idea of the parts required to restore a particular model. There are two Yamaha RD250s, one being rescued from the bushfires and the other being rescued from floods. So if you’re needing parts for your restoration don’t hesitate to give Wemoto a call on (02) 4421 7048 and talk to Pavel, Jake or Chris.
