Actually looks alot like Neka's mum last time I saw her.
But who's Mick anyway?
It is far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even if chequered with failure, than to take rank with those who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, as they live in grey twilight that knows no victory nor defeat.
Micks magical tyre cave where you can buy a set of tyres for your scoot for 350bucks for a set of powers and be enlightened on all facets of tyre technolegy (hes been fitting bike tyres for 30 years) and is a bit of a charachter.
once you have beento mick you wont want to go to another tyre stealership and he knows all the diferent brands and even the diferent factorys that the same breed of tyre come from.
His cave doesnt have the pot plants and lounge you normaly associate with a trye joint.. hell you have to sit on the floor actually and wait but the tyres are plenty cheap.
If I rode my bike at the speed of light, what would happen when I switched on its headlights?
Here's a Glamour shot of "Mick the Tyre Magician" in his Cave of Circular Wonderment. If memory serves this WAS a good Hair day
Cheers Brett

Yup Mick is great. I haven't been anywhere else since discovering his shop. He is far cheaper than anyone else, including Two Wheel Tyres which he used to own. (three owners ago- Alec was in between the current owners and Mick) Helluva nice guy, but pack a cut lunch when getting tyres fitted. He loves a chat, and the record for me was 6.5 hours to get a set of tyres fitted. (on a Saturday admittedly) I feel sorry for the guy working the long hours he does and I guess that the banter with customers in someways compensates for the loss of his personal time through his business responsibilities. I have saved a hell of a lot of money on bike stuff from him and thoroughly enjoy my visits there to shop. Learn heaps too. I like my Michelins, but he doesn't........he likes the Bridgestones, and my experience has been the opposite......I think he deserves ALL the accolades he gets. 10 out of 10 if you ask me.
2 X ZRX1200R 4 X ER6N, GT550, 1988 ZX-10, 4 X GPZ250R, 4 X GPZ900R and GPZ750R Yeah I like Kawasakis.
