    It is well known that it takes two years to build a business and that networking is key as are customer recommendations.

    Having the advantage of a well known and well respected/liked front man and extensive contacts within the industry means that word spreads quickly. A good website will be about half the business in a short time, too.

    An opening day involving said celebrity doing autographs and seeing if you can get another celeb or two, like well known bike racers, on hand with the obligatory sausage sizzle, maybe a dealer? Maybe the good Robert T might join in?

    There are some very cool semi big events planned for this ED. A top notch Womens Parla in Auckland wants in on this mmmmm Hope we do not cause any divorces

    The web site is being built at the moment, and dates for events re suspnsion schools etc and meet the riders ie A Stroud and so on are being finalised.

    This has come out in the air about 2 weeks to soon I spoke to a chap I know who lives in Browns bay in confidence, but like his SON, he has a big mouth and talked hence it has come out now hahaha.

    LOL!!! Just can't trust anyone these days...

    I confess my mind goes into high gear as you're doing something I'd like to do, but haven't got the capital behind me so I'm "walking" before I start running...

    This is all just a continuation of what I started with Motodynamix in 2004 mate.

    When I left to go race the TT in 2007, I had a deal in place for one full time mechanic to come on board with me in taranaki, I had become that busy with Insurance repair work and suspension and chassis re builds.

    I was approached by my NEW Partener Phil to go ahead with this plan, ( He has known me for 25 years now) so he is the money man, I am just the man that know,s what a motor bike is supposed to handle like, know;s the trade and the people that know the people to get the very very best job done as well as the very best customer satisfaction.

    We will be going out of our way to work in with customers mate, hence we leased a building with accomadation to have me close all the time, so availlable at pre arranged strange hours if need be

    As I said, you deserve to succeed! You've put the effort in to get the right people on board and this is no rushed project. I'll certainly be wanting to attend your opening!

    Start out with a big fortune.....
    Or if your in NZ pawn off shit no one wants. Preferably though a website that gives a limited period of time to buy particular products and vouchers.

    Shoppers in NZ are stoopid. They will buy tap water if it was "On sale for a limited time". "Act quick this product is about to sell out!"

    Like the idea of unusual hours, a motorcycle is a hard thing to get a place during work hours. Maybe a couple of GN125s for loaners?
