But what about "cruisers"


Tourers and cruisers are different types of bikes...

Not bad. A huge improvement over other sites that have been too slow to get off the ground. Still needs work though as some of the links go to places they shouldn't or return errors. I'm sure all the bugs will be ironed out. Just remains to be seen whether their service will be good enough to back it up or whether they'll still have the we don't give a shit F^%K OFF! attitude to customer service. But they're not alone in that respect as most of the auclkand shops live by that philosophy.

Couple of errors. Take a screenshot if you find one and send to info@blahblah and let them know. Helps to mention which flavour browser you are using too.

i went in there on sunday with lazy 7 and they were all too happy to be helpfu.l....got myself a nice warm balaclava lol

and i loved the ride in parking...made me feel like my bike was safe i didn't have to leave it on the street it was right by me which meant i could concentrate more on what i was looking at ....

i think it's intentional lol

I find it rather good in there always asked if I need a hand etc and often drop what they are doing to fix something on my bike, better than rip off honda across the road by a long shot

Motomail is open Sundays as well. They've always given me a great deal and are always uber-helpful too.

Cycletreads is good too though. They have done the website well.

I THINK ALL THE EXTRA TRAFFIC FROM KB (yes all 10 hits) HAS HAXED THE SERVER ON THE MAINFRAME, MODEM THE WINDOZE AND RAMMED THE HARD DRIVE TO A BLUE SCREEN WILE UPLOADING THE CPU.

This is the only site lately that's frozen it. the java apps maybe.

bugjuice gives me the same lecture - i say to him - it's been woking fine for 6 years. It ain't broke so I ain't fixing it.

Much rather spend the $ on motorcycles.

I blame spank as this site doesn't have an inbuilt spell check! Who needs to spell when there is F7 to help you out!

That is a pretty good site, Thanks for that. we are not really spoiled for choice in this part of the country so it's good to at least have a mail order option.

What?
21st June 2006, 06:24
I reckon the site is OK, but it is a shame that they have not responded to the e-mail I sent them 17 days ago. Guess I will take my business to someone who is interested.

XTC, I dont know how you got that imression but they have always been extremely helpful to me and to all my mates. In fact they have done more than almost anyone else in Auckland in terms of great service and very friendly too.
Now if you were talking about the 'spot over the road then I would have to agree, they have always had that kind of bad attitude.

Went in there today as above and was chatting about the fact me headlights dont work on dip only high beam and i mentioned How I was thinking of adding a relay and Hard wiring them and the dude carefully explained some other store where I could go get all the bits I would need! Good service that!

I used the site to purchase some gear.

Good service and good prices.

Seems like more and more products re now on the site with accurate stock listings.

Everything I ordered got supplied.

Thanks Cycletreads
