Qmoto?

[Coneamahfone]

does anyone have the inside edge/info on where Bret is? ordered some gloves online sent them a few emails but no reply.

[Maha]

Think the bubble finally popped.

[sil3nt]

If facebook is correct then he is out of the country at the moment.

[Matt Bleck]

From what I understand Qmoto is going through a change of ownership so that may cause some delay's.

[Coneamahfone]

cool thanks guys, its a shame nothing like that shows on the website.

[ckai]

oooh rumours. I like rumours. I heard a big giant alien spider...;)

Seriously though, I was wondering the same thing. I know he moved on from KB - and that is not a reason for anyone to take this off topic :nono:

[slofox]

I was pretty sure Brett had sold the qmoto business. But I wouldn't like to bet my arse on it...

[Coneamahfone]

Just spoke to Paula and my gloves are on the way. It would seem everything is still going.

So happy, love my Qmoto jacket, now i have the gloves (or will do)

[tigertim20]

I was pretty sure Brett has sold the qmoto business. But I wouldn't like to bet my arse on it...

might consider buying qmoto again if thats the case . . .

I did see a while back he was looking at selling up, but then saw/heard nothing. youd think after all his raving and ranting about how awesome he and his shit are, tht the least he would have done is had the courtesy to tell previous/existing/potential customers that there was a change of ownership coming up

[Virago]

According to the Companies Website, Quasimoto is still owned by Bret and Paula.

lol was that when u binned it at the levels trackday bro?

shit 200 down that straight.. mm I guess just about - think we only managed 187 (took some gps logger out one race) on the sidecar but its not that quick haha.. so a solo R1 should make it.. but u must have just crashed at the end with no attempt at stopping or anything? suprised the bike wasn't more fucked - f all run off there at the end of that straight and at 200 seesh.. that wall is awful close.. looks close from the wee sidecar anyway haha

yeah, the R1 speedo reads 253-240 if i get a good drive, Id got the brakes on a tad, speedo was still reading 220 I think when I hit the grass, so account for speedo error and jaded memory etc etc, but it was definitely 200. I was amazed it want wrecked, I got it running again for the next session:woohoo:
didnt realise i had a concussion yet till i was on the way home :facepalm:

I stopped only a couple metres from the wall, but there is a lot of runoff area there, I used all of it to come to a tumbling bumby stop

There's enough runoff for a sidecar to totally cock the corner up, go off into the grass, keep it pinned and get back on track still in the lead (but only by inches)

Moved on from what?....committing retail suicide?

Business must be crashing!

Actually.... I just pulled out some Bike Rider Mags from 2010- hell there are a lot of retailers in there that have since disappeared!

That sux. I wonder if there's any correlation with the increase in rego fees and GFC though you'd hope the GFC would have got people out of cars and on to bikes. Probably not that likely in NZ though

Now that would surprise me as he is a great guy that stands by his product and its not his only income.

I suspect hes undating his aged website.

[Biggles08]

Come play with the big boys sometime ;)

In all seriousness, like him (Brett) or not the Qmoto gear is A+++ quality and no matter how much you bag the guy, the gear stands up to the test 100%. I know, I have been the crash test dummy on about 12 occasions in the same suit. the Q in Qmoto is definitely for quality!
