Anybody dealt with McIver & Veitch?

[Molly]

They've a bike I'm very interested in ('06 Speedmaster) but I've never had any dealings with them (hadn't actually heard of the place until this week to be honest).

Any KB members bought bikes from them and how did you go?

Thanks in advance.

They are like any other bike shop about the place

I bought my first suzuki off them in 1971, then my second one off them the very next year. I stopped dealling with them when they changed to Honda exclusively in 1974. Then once they moved back to Suzuki I started dealing with them again.

Like most bike shops they like to turn a profit, but at the same time they are prepared to deal to keep customers coming back.

Overall I would rate them as above average for motorcycle shops. They stand behind there bikes and gear and are also well liked by those who work for them.

Not personally but have 2 mates that have bought late model bikes off em and were very happy with the service.

Cheers lads. Can't beat personal recommendation. May be buying the bike sight-unseen so it's good to hear positive comments.

To be honest mate thats something i wouldnt do period.Dunners is only down the road really,3/4s hour at most,can go have a gander at it if need be,take a few pics etc.

That's a kind offer thanks. I've emailed them tonight asking for some higher resolution pics. If all looks good I suppose I should just fly down and pick it up.

Thanks for the offer just the same. May take you up on it shortly.

Thanks for that but baby minding duties tomorrow whilst the wife works, then bloody work on Monday. I'll get onto it though. It's the Speedmaster they've got on TradeMe that I'm interested in:

Thanks for the feedback. Bought the bike over the phone based on trust and high resolution pics. :-)))

Excellent service (even airport collection). Bike was in mint condition. Had a brilliant ride back.
