Is Amps open on Sundays?

[Gubb]

Anyone know if AMPS is open on a Sunday? Nothing on the website, and I gather it's too early for me to ring and ask anyway.

AMPS not open, Mt Eden Motorcycles are.

Gnah. Disappointed.

Just like everyone else. Thought maybe a big showroom in the middle of the city would have different opening hours.
Mon-Fri 9-5
Sat 9-2
Sun Closed.

When else can I test ride a new bike? I work most of that time. Car dealers are always open weekends.

But do Mt Eden have a demo Street Triple?

gutted bro:argue:
you should just get a real job like me and not work the weekends at all
then again......

[jrandom]

I know. Sucks eh? I generally just arrange the occasional long weekday lunchbreak if I need to do some test riding.

Got to say its something that I've always found strange.

On the bright side - Pubs are open!

Heh. Not at all. Still in the shop, figured that upgrading before or during summer is the best time.

If only I had the coin for a fancy Aprilia.....

Thinking ahead, noice.

motorcyclists - mostly sports motorcyclists too. They are out riding and racing like us.

And just don't turn up and expect a ride - book it first. They often let genuine punters take the demo home for the weekend.

No doubt, that's why I was planning on dropping in on them and having a chat.

I take it that it's only AMPS and Holeshot that deal in Triumphs?

Holeshot sold their demo model last week.

The AMPS website lists everything they have on the floor, if you want to check. Just telephone them ahead of time to arrange a ride, you'll waste far less time than if you turn up unannounced. No reason not to try a couple of different bikes while you're there, either.

Try KTL/Motohaus.
When I was trying to decide between my choices I found them great for having a good range of Brands and Models. Good way to try your choices back to back.

Talk to the Kerry that wants to sells bikes tho he's great, not the other Kerry.

What's the relationship between AMPS and the old Shaft store that used to be out in Otahuhu?

Same ownership and management, or have things changed in the last few years?


Edit - Just checked the companies register. Looks like both stores were Ian Beckhaus' operations (which I thought) but Shaft was placed in voluntary liquidation in 2005.

Shaft and Universal Cycles were merged to form AMPS.

Hee heee.........Saturday was FUN. Gubb took out a street triple from AMPS for a test ride. I can see why he is so keen on the street triple. It's a bitey little fella!
