Just had to put in that I've visited the people down at Motomail a few times now and think the service is great.

People tend to post when they have shitty service from a place, so I thought it should be the same for the other way around as well.

Anyways there's my shameless plug and thoughts this morning as I'm staring out the window at work :yes:

Good on you FJ, totally agree with what you are saying, in fact the last time I had bad service at a bike shop was about 10 years ago. The guys at Motomail sorted me out for gear when I got back into riding last year, hell they even gave me a free pair of gloves. The shops that I have dealt with recently have been Motohaus, Motomail, Mt Eden, Haldanes and Botany Honda - All good guys that have a genuine interest in their customers.

Good post mate :rockon:

Agreed, i bought some leathers from them, and they gave great service. Didn't push me into buying anything i didn't want. They had all the information and advice.

Also i deal with CycleTreads for tyres and other little things. Never had any problems, one of the guys even lent me ther bike to go and pickup some parts.
I had gone in for a new battery, and they offered to test if it was charging [which it wasn't] and they sorted me out with a temporary fix [which has turned out not so temporary - lol]

Yep same as above, awesome service and fast postage, been in once to the store and very friendly and helpful staff too!

Some guy from Motomail with long hair tried to put his finger inside me when I was there.

Apart from that, the service is second to none.

I've been into Motomail a few times now and I think its a fantastic store. It's refreshing to see so much choice, knowledgeable staff and a cafe thrown in, all in a nicely designed and clean environment.

Well done Motomail. I'll be getting my gear from them as they stock heaps of stuff for girls. :yes:

I feel out of place...maybe they are trying to discourage my type.It's very clean,and the salesmen smile a lot...too much,surely it must hurt to smile 24 hrs a day.I don't think the smiles are real,they must of bought them in a bulk order from China,

Motu, I think you've hit on something there that links into the AA report posted somewhere earlier i.e. the Avg Biker these days is close to 33 years old and has a semi/proffessional job. I think thats the atmosphere they have created to target the BAB and seems to me they have done very well.

That would explain why I am studiously ignored whenever I go into a bike shop.

Over the years I have bought heaps from their catalogue they use to have and now a few things off the website...

Everything has been packed well and was a quick delivery. Great sevice... I have never been to the store tho... so I can not comment on that.

If the guy you're talking about is the one with a pony tail and a deep husky voice, then I think he's rather sexy.

Fortunately I'm straight so it doesn't matter what I think you look like.

Damnit, there's no way to come back and not sound gay after a comment like that...

I like the shop behind motomail, they arnt the same company, but they are linked (what the desk jockey at motocock said).

One of the tidest/nicest looking workshops around, overhauled my brakes for a case of beer, well worth it :D

15th March 2007, 18:39

AWESOME THREAD!

I have had nothing but good experiences! I go their even if it is just to look around.

Also if they don't stock it they always point you in the right direction.. i.e. Ventura Pack racks

McJim

15th March 2007, 20:41

Motomail? Motomail? Where the Fark is Motomail?

I've only bought 3 Pairs of gloves, 2 Pairs of Boots, 2 Pairs of Cordura Pants, 1 Pair of leather Pants, 2 Leather Jackets, 3 Cordura Jackets, 3 Helmets, a Tank Bag, a set of indicators, some brake fluid, a Givi Screen, a tinted visor, a breath guard and a tank protector from them....in the last 10 months.

And I've been known to grab a flat white there in the morning too.

And I don't get ANY appendages from superweetard.

I think White Trash must be speshul.

15th March 2007, 21:14

I love Motomail :love:

But I have to say that because they gave me a free jacket! All I had to do was prance around in front of a bunch of women and humiliate myself... but some of you guys do that every day so it's obviously not too hard. :shutup:

I also bought my helmet from there, and and RJays pack, and my gloves and jacket (the one I paid for) from their outlet store. And various other bits and pieces (glove liners, buffs - excellent prezzies for other bikers).

At motomail they seem to make a real effort to appeal to women, and I think they do an excellent job. It might not suit everyone to have the place clean and tidy, have the shop well lit and laid out, and have a place where you can sit down and have a coffee while you think about your next purchase... but it works perfectly well for me.

Yeah I have been dealing with motomail as I am just getting my gear (pyro is insiting on it!!) so spent awhile in there trying everything on. The poor guy who followed us around with me saying "I want pretty stuff"! and he was lovely the whole time!

We also went into amps and they had a bigger range then I thought they would! (with excellent service there too ;))

Shopping is awesome!:sunny:

fjones

16th March 2007, 18:58

Went to amps a few days ago and parked my GN right next to a line of rather large hogs. Haha I had a look from one dude that was priceless! As if to say "excuse me, but are you retarded?"

Mention to him that you are on KB..... he really is a nice guy, a sweetie...

Some say that he is a grumpy bugger.... I have yet to see him being grumpy.

I went to Motomail on Friday with KBer XF650.

We had a great lunch in the classy cafe complete with fancy coffee and deli type sandwiches, etc. Then, I perved on the MVs and browsed through the big stack of bike mags available in the cafe while XF650 shopped, or more correctly, frustrated the shop staff.

The environment and service Motomail is offering is brilliant - but it will not last if it is not supported. So, go-on, get on your bike and run over to Motomail for lunch.

I go there for lunch at least once a week now if I can.

I just ask Hippie if his hands are clean before he sits down.

Superweetard

25th March 2007, 16:27

Yeah you guys are to much. Thanks for all the all the great feedback,we are doing our best. In time we hope more of you will support us. The cafe is a cool place to hang out, Sat just gone had a real great vibe, bikes and riders everywhere, hanging out meeting fellow riders shooting the breeze, was awesome. So next time your cruising by, stop in, say "Hi"
Introduce your self as a KB'er,you never know ya might get a discount and I promise I'll keep my fingers to myself!
Cheers
