These guys have offered me free shipping on anything I wish to order (so effectively saving me about $100 straight away) and appear to have good service and pricing.
Has anyone out there had any experience with these guys?
Thanks.:sunny:

Or perhaps you know something I don't, if so please share your secrets - I've been thinking of getting a helmet off these guys and free postage would be a great help!

:yes:

I bought gear off them when I was in the States - but guess that doesn't help you much, sorry. :innocent:
Nice stuff though and they had good clearance specials.

I e-mailed them about getting a shipping price and a guy there e-mailed me back and said that if I buy from them he'll ship it to me for free!!

Yep, I did say New Zealand, but I will get back to him to make sure, just in-case!! Especially as I hate disappointment!!:angry:

I'll bet you $1 that they have absolutely no idea whatsoever where New Zealand is and presume it's near Wisconsin or summin.

Make the most of it!

LOL, I know, I'm weary as, so have re-emailed to clarify that I am talking about New Zealand, the country in the South Pacific where "The Lord of The Rings" movies were made. Will let you know how I get on.....:mellow:

perhaps they're a bit like the sky tv ladies in customer service when asking about getting sky installed in 1993,saying i live in hawera and she asked in all seriousness,which suburb in auckland is that,i said just south of bombay,oh she said how much south,i replied you know on nz map a piece juts out to left midway down,and there's a biggish mountain well about there,she said we'll get back if we can install this week.they had another lady ring back all apologetic saying we are looking into your area in near future.a couple months later i won 3 months free on radio station.

So, the dude at Motorcycle giant just got back to me after I asked about if he knew where NZ was etc, and he's still offering me free shipping. If anyone wants to order anything from Motorcycle Giant, pm me and I will give you the guy's e-mail details etc.
It certainly seems worth while if you are going to order gear from the States, to contact them and ask for a shipping quote, I have recieved (for the same item) quotes ranging from free to $150USD for shipping!!

Hi everyone. Just a quick note to say that I recently ordered a motogp leather jacket from the states off www.newenough.com. Turned up today less than a week after ordering. Great jacket and great price reduced from 389us to 139. Even with shipping which was $53 still a great deal. W:yes: ould highly recommend them to anyone. Check out their closeout sales.

They also run www.newenoughmx.com for offroad gear - equally good pricing there.

Just watch out when it comes to paying for the goods as well, I got stung like that, and gave up trying to get stuff from 58cycle.

First they wanted US$160 for shipping, which was semi-ok, still cheaper. But then the fun began when I tried to pay... They didn't accept credit cards outside the US, and I had to do various other things instead, one that looked easy was using some money exchange place, or something... yeh, another NZ$60 for THAT privilege...

I gave up, told them I wanted my order cancelled, and went with a mixture of other places, www.motovationusa.com and www.motostyle.co.nz
