I'm back in bike sales baby!

[White trash]

Pretty excited about it actually, after 5 years out of the industry I'm back doing what I'm passionate about, albeit only on Saturdays. It also means I'm likely to get a hoon on the R1 which is the first Yamaha I've liked the look of for a while and would possibly own :)

So all you Wellington riders who want to come say hi, I'm at TSS Red Baron in Lower Hutt.

Open 9 till 4 on Saturdays, come in and say hi.

[pzkpfw]

Can you be the guy who opens it on Sunday?

You keen to buy a bike on Sunday?

Best of luck with the new venture :yes:

this is an all to familure discussion.

Ill finish it now.

7 day trading for a bike shop does not increase sales, it only spreads it out over 7 rather than 6 (or 5 and a half days), also, the staff don't want to work 7 days, and getting "weekend warriors" in to work weekends is a disaster, because then the customers complain the weekend staff don't know anything.

Its been tried, it does not work.

of it worked, every bike shop in NZ would do it.

I agree wholeheartedly. 7 day trading in bike shops is far from cool, staff have lives and family too.

[Quasievil]

Hell !! the motorcycle industry was already in the proverbial poop............NOW THIS !!

[DMNTD]

Onya Jimmy...may your skin be thick and your tolerance strong :corn:

Now we know where to go trade in an MVX250!

Fuck off Poolick. I'll come in and demand a ride on your R1!

Best of luck out there though mate.

Thanks man, looking forward to it.

[White trash]

I'm pretty much, 100% certain that we'll be the only shop in the country keen to trade one of those :)

[pzkpfw]

You keen to buy a bike on Sunday?

No - can't afford an "upgrade" yet.

But I would perhaps be in to buy gloves or something. And the wife is making noises about wanting to pillion, so maybe there'd be a full set of gear to buy soon.

I note the arguments posted above, but personally - due to my own job I've only really got Saturday and Sunday to "go shopping". So being open on only Saturday cuts out 50% of my time to vist TSS - which is my current "preferred" M/C shop.

(Working in Wellington, if I want something Monday to Friday - I usually end up walking to Motorad or WMC).

...but yeah, not really expecting the shop to be open on Sunday, just making a poke-the-bear post #2.


I will be in soon for the next "big" service on my bike. Overhead cams and shims for valve adjustment are beyond my ability...

[Eddieb]

Ah crap, there goes my preferred bike shop too.

Good on ya Jimmy.

[merv]

... and getting "weekend warriors" in to work weekends is a disaster, because then the customers complain the weekend staff don't know anything.


I think Jimmy will complain about that complaint :yes:

Anyway nice one Jimmy might see you there sometime. I'm still waiting for the parts guy to ring me back about the part for my WR250F I asked about in March.

[NinjaNanna]

Mate unless you're run off ya feet I reckon you have a major point of difference if you offer to setup the suspension on each bike before it rolls out the door after a sale.

I know I certainly appreciated it when you setup the suspenders on my R1.

Best of luck in the sales game

unlike staff in the entire aviation community, police, fire, ambos, petrol stations, briscoes, supermarkets, pubs, cafes.

There's plenty of us that'd like sunday guaranteed off, but I'm sure you'd still like to be able to fly WLG-AKL on a sunday afternoon















Don't mind me, I'm just over working 26 hour weekends....

Hey that's cool Marty, my partners a Paramedic remember? She also gets four days off after every four at work, seems like a cool gig to me.

And quite frankly, at this time of year, you pilots can close down on Sundays because I said so. I'd rather ride to AKL if I had to get there on a Sunday anyway. BNE, SYD or MEL, now THAT poses a dilema.

[Hitcher]

I'll come and see you sometime and you can sell me something else.
