Hi my name is Anthony Wright

[Anthony Wright]

I run Drury tyres a family business in south Auckland,
in 2004 Tyres for You gave me a new Harley Davidson Deuce to use!!!!
i have clocked up 48,000 km on this bike so far.
Most of those km with the Redeemed MCC, a Christian motorcycle ministry.
Since that time we have turned our Drury performance centre into a MOTORCYCLE TYRE SHOP.
sO IF NEED TO BE HOOKED UP WITH BIKE TYRES CHAINS/SPROCKETS/BRAKE PADS ETC just let me know.

Thanks Anthony.
I have already purchased several tyres off Mike. Will be back for a another soon.

Hi Anthony:sunny:
I have been meaning to get tyres off you guys, but to be honest, Cycletreads web site make it a bit easier than your site, due to the tyres being priced and the ability to browse different brands, (while downing a coffee), then simply using the credit card. A few days later they are on my door step.

Please don't take this comment as an attack. As I'm sure your pricing is very competitive, but maybe your website is causing many people to purchase from the opposition.
Next time I'm up your way, I'll call in.
Cheers.

Definitely agree. I do at least 90% of my shopping for near anything by looking online first, and I think what I find online hugely determines what I end up purchasing ie. I look for the best deal, and do normally avoid sites without pricing. Once i've found the best deal I look for reviews.......

Cycletreads site is'nt actually very good at all. If you have a drop down box of common size combinations with price deals etc, and a choice of what style of tyre you require, that would make you very competitive.

You have given some food for thought, unfortuneately Rome was not built in a Day, we will be looking at up grading our site.
I am quite old fashion and KNOW that you can really nail the customers needs through talking over the PHONE, you can find out best tyre suited for your riding style and the type of bike you own.
Dont forget to ask Mike for a FREE Barrister coffee when you ride down to us.
Price is only one aspect of purchasing motorcycle tyres, advise that is accurate is worth its weight in Gold so next time give us a call 092947955.
Thanks Anthony

Better web site is the answer, sorry if that offends, but it's the truth. (im no IT bloke, but I'm positive you are losing many sales due to the lack of pricing and product detail on line).
Advice is always welcome, but their are many riders who know exactly what they want, and simply require it.
Once again, this is meant in good faith.
I shall ring you with the option of bettering my prices that I have found.:yes:

[blossomsowner]

I purchased my last tyre from you guys and was impressed by the service given. (as well as the price). Helps that I am only 10 mins away though.
keep up the good work.

[SPP]

I was in there yesterday getting new tyres. There were two newish fellas along with Mike. One did mine and was bloody careful with the rims... I like his work :niceone:

Mike has always looked out for me so I don't bother to go anywhere else. I usually PM "Mouldy" on this forum or call to check stuff out.

[The Everlasting]

Welcome,good to know there is another friendly bike shop out there!

I will give you some free advice Anthony.

Keep Mike what ever it takes ! Uncle Shawn at Treads has lost a lot of customers because he let Mike go.

And Des and Bungi have used way to many drugs in the past to be called real Wheel men.

Crazy Steve.

:rockon:WILL DO, mIKE IS DEFINEATELY WORTH HIS WEIGHT IN gOLD, he has a great attitude and really knows his stuff.
He is currently training Neil walker an old mate of mine the ropes and he is really enjoying the experience.
Neils no novice when it comes to motorcycles, he has had alot of mechanical knowleage and with Mike teaching him what he can about bike tyres he will also be a real asett, to DPC.
Mike might even be able to go on a holiday with Neil taking to the ART of selling and fitting bike tyres.
Neil currently rides a RSV 1000 and has riden for many years, the only problem is he rides way too hard.
Thanks for the Heads up
Anthony

Been to your place twice for work Anthony,

First time was when my chain was about to crap out as I was heading to Taupo with the MAG guys. Then I had a service done the following month.

Great service both times, Mike is a diamond geezer and not too tough on the pocket either.

Thats a great business you have their mate, I will be back

[Anthony Wright]

:sunny:It is Great too hear all these GOOD reports, Mikes way tooooo busy taking care of business, he hasnt got time to spend on this social network site.
But i know he will be encouraged when i show him.
Maybe i shouldnt?
because then he will want $10.00 per hour and i will have too put the prices of the tyres up!!!

You might be able to build a "tyre chooser questionnaire" into your website with all those valid questions you ask to hone down tyre choice.

Customers can still followup with the phone if needed.

A website will reduce your call volume and off load (excuse the pun) "tyre kickers" or price checks and give you more time to deal with your customers in your shop.

Want Drury to go national and don't mind shipping tyres? a website is the way to go.

Hello and welcome to kiwi biker

[k1w160]

Yep, I've been getting my tyres from you for a while as I 'followed' Mike down there as well.
+1 on comments about service, price, and the website.:niceone:

Wheww, thats involved.
There are six bikes in the garage, all with very different riding requirements.
eg: Honda XRL650, that is mainly used across the fullspectrum of adv riding. It gets shod with what is needed, that can be Mich AC10's, Kenda trackmasters, Conti TKC's, and even more road suitable tyres if future rides a gentle.
Going over the 42traverse, or Fischers track on the wrong tyre in winter is a pain, but in summerthe tyre is less agressive.

Triumph Scrambler also does Winter/Summer adv rides plus rallies, plus long rides on seal.

Kanny's KLE500 falls between the XRL and the scrambler for tyres.

95 Triumph Daytona mainly is light sport touring so Metz Z6 etc.

Bro in laws Triumph Speedmaster is sporty cruiser riding.

And a chinese trail bike get shod with the cheap stuff.

I'm a bit of a tyre slut,:innocent: plus have been ridingfor about 30yrs so pretty much seen alot and fitted alot. (still do all my own tyres the old school way,over a 60l drum, and levers/ rubber mallet if needed).:yes:
