Who's our favourite retailer out there?

**325rocket** · 17th March 2010, 11:09

mrmotorcycles.co.nz and powersport.co.nz both online and both very good to deal with.
powersport email me from time to time with new products that i might be interested in, and im not talking about bulk email they email me directly. Not enough to be considered spam but once every few months. nice touch i thought.

Wish cycletreads would open up a shop in Welly - heard nothing but good things about these guys.

This is not a shot at the local Welly shops but, if you have read another recent thread about bike shops, cycletreads seem to be doing all the things that customers say they want.

Never been to the store but I did buy a givi screen from them over the phone. The bloke on the phone was amazingly helpfull with checking that it would be right for my bike. Definately get a thumbs up from me.

I get on well with the chaps at Holeshot and think they're great, so much so I want to get a bike brand they stock so I can continue going there. MR motorcycles manager was a top bloke when I dealt with him and he was very very helpful in getting me my new jacket.

Not so good, Cyclespot. Had some good experiences with the parts guys but some shockers with the sales reps when I was after a new bike and the service department.

Overall though, I get looked over a lot because I am fairly young and don't look like have much money. It's a shame, as I have a good job that pays ok and am generally willing to spend $.

Back when Motorad used to be Motorad and Boyle Kawasaki they used to be so good. They used to have a large range of gear, luggage, and other bits and pieces. Motorad is still excellent for parts and servicing but I guess for the other stuff we in Wellington just have to shop online now. Also, there is a good wee bike shop next to the Basin Reserve with pleasant service and a wide range of miscellaneous odds and ends

AMPS must be the worst
When I was looking for my Bonnie, I had the mis-fortune to go in there.
Took a mate (male) with me.
The sales man kept asking him what he wanted, he said more than once "ask her, its her bike"
So the salesman looked at him & said "well, what does she want"
I said "I want you to go fuck yourself" and walked out
Brought my brand new bike from ANZA

Gotta say that I/we had a very similar experience with AMPS.
Walked in, kicked some tyres and was approached by a salesman ummmmmmmmmm never.
Walked out after having a good look around, not a one even spoke a word.
Could it have been because we were in a car? was not wearing Leather?

**Love my Bonnie** · 17th March 2010, 13:25

Probably coz you didnt look like a Harley Dickhead Maha

**Maha** · 17th March 2010, 13:29

That thought did run through my head, I was looking at a Daytona at the time. Go Figure.

Is Mr Whippy a Retailer?
