    Yeah, great little shop. The owner is passionate about bikes and a pleasure to chat to and they have some very tasty Italian stuff there.
    Don't blame me, I voted Green.

    I have to report that my face print is on the outside of their window.

    I walked past late one night last weekend, and saw heaven. Beautiful displays of Moto Guzzis.

    I haven't had much time for Guzzis, but they way they display them makes them look like biker porn. They look better at night, after dark, as the lighting adds to the atmosphere.

    Definitely worth a look.

    Fairly new shop and the owner comes across as knowing his shit and is, as stated above passionate about the Guzzi brand. Also offering some good prices on the bikes presently.

    A+ for the look and feel of the shop too - a nice change to see someone giving a bit of thought into the ambiance of a motorcycle shop instead of the usual thrown together collection of bike bits.

    Sooooo - what do you have your eye on?

    buying a bike with no warranty is like kissing your sister....it may feel good at the time,but theres no future in it.

    ask them how long they plan on being around when they have sold the stock they got landed with when the importers changed..............

    Yes they are the 'previous' importer of Guzzi's etc however the new importer,Triumph NZ, will cover the factory warranty...fact.

    I have had dealing with these guys on a professional level and can only say that yes they are 'real' people with a genuine passion.

    I asked Adam about that and that's what he said, so there are no problems with warranty.
