AlpineStar Roam Boots

[figjam]

I'm keen on getting a pair but, boy do the distributers seem to have pissed off the shops. Does anyone know a shop in Auckland that stocks AlpineStar road boots?

[NC]

The only place I know who stocks them is Boyd Honda in Hams..

Don't know about Auckland, but MotoGB in Mount Maunganui stocks them.

I don't know about "pissed off" but there is certainly a bare minimum of margin for the shops selling Alpinestar stuff.

Mt Eden have lots of A* boots.

Retailers I've talked to suggest that Crown Kiwi have put silly markups on their gear, making it hard to sell.

Get over to see The Hippie at Motomail. He'll see ya right.

Find what size you are and order some from here http://www.bikebiz.com.au/shop/enter.html great service and really good prices. Got my boots (alpinestars) and gloves from there.

If you have to ask that, you haven't met him.

They would ...

with just about anything except AlpineStar. They're high on my list if I don't like the Roams in the flesh.

Haldanes in Mt Eden have a good selection of Alpinestar stuff, boots, gloves T shirts, shoes and clothing. Prices seem lower than they were originally but still cheaper to get off internet.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I walked out of Mt. Eden Motorcycles this morning in a pair of them. I was also really pleased I went there because I didn't realise they do Muzzy stuff. I've been dribbling over that site (http://www.muzzys.com/catalog/index.html) for ages, but I'd far rather deal with someone local.
