AMPS and Triumphs?

[HenryDorsetCase]

No, why - do the KB rides start there?

Oh Dave, as if ANYone on KB actually rides.

I think that apostrophe on Dufus' may be incorrect.

But it's way easier to type while I'm rendering video too.

I just wanted to drool over some Triumphs and Harleys...... is that too much to ask!

I'm going with yes.

There is a test of the Speedmaster and a Road King in this month's Kiwi Rider.

Hey all,

I was in AMPS yesterday drooling, when I noticed they had removed all of the Triumphs from the shop floor.
(I wanted to compare a speedmaster to a 883 superlow)
I found a peon running around with a couple of bits of paper in his hands, and asked him what the deal was.
Apparently Harley has had the pressure on them to become a Harley only dealer for quite some time now, I guess the HOG rally (and important Harley people) last month had something to do with the decision, but no more Triumph for AMPS in auckland

The only place to look for a new Triumph in all of Dorkland would now be Holeshot on the shore. is that correct? or is their any other dealers that I havent found?

That is correct. Rob told me this a couple of months ago. Go down to Hamilton Motorcycles. Friendly as, and helpful too. I wish I had bought my bike there. Next service is theirs.

I would rather donate my left one, than go to holeshots...

AMP's is a good place to hang out on any weekend day if you want a giggle..iykwim

The Visual effect will include (sooner or later) the sterotypical 'arley owner ..Big grey/orange moustache (grey because of his age and orange because he still smokes Park Drive)
The leather vest/jacket with 856 badges attached from the 856 events he has attended over the years.
Can’t miss the Lion Red induced waistline hanging over the faux bull denim jeans which barely cover the 1970’s etched Tan leather cowboy boots.

Oy there buddy

Oy there buddy

.... a little over ambitious on the badge estimate?

[Big Dave]

.... a little over ambitious on the badge etsimate?

Can't afford Park Drive.

You've heard him. That's a Rothman's Froat.

[Damantis]

Or will they be the next shop to close?

When I win the powerball, I'm going to set up a moytorcycle "Warehouse" I will parrallel import every brand of bike and sell them all on one floor. One shop for the country. Test rides will be available around the country via a truck or two visiting all the main centres. Service and maintainance will be contracted out to all the motorcycle mechanics who will find themselves unemployed when all the pissy one brand dealers fold from trying to compete with me.

Problem solved.

Can anyone loan me some money for a lotto ticket?

Pootle down hwy1, or 22 if your in the mood.
Oggle Trumpys at Heaths, cross the road to Road n Toad for your fix on Charley Harrisons, stroll 50mtrs up to Boyds for a Suzi gathering with KTMs thrown in for flavour. Another 50 paces up to NTB m/cycles has Huskeys and Apes out front, cross the road again, stroll past Heath, (Ham motorcycles, Tri, Kwack, Duck) and pop your head into HD cycles where there is all manner of after market HD gear and some very tasty hogs on display.

Sat morning in the tron

Dufi?

I'd say you're on the money with the Rothmans though.

[AllanB]

Pre EQ CHCH was good on a Sat morn down Manchester St (the other end of the street was a different matter later in the evening....)

There was Honda, BMW, Triumph, Harley, Moto Guzzi and Suzuki all within a stones throw of each other. Oh and Pit Lane for tyres!

Farking Earthquakes :-(

[hellokitty]

Holeshot are friendlier anyway.

There customer service is appalling.... I waited for help for 10 minutes while 2 of the shop guys were chatting about personal crap. They knew I was there, I was right in front of them. When they finally decided to help me, they were so patronising.

That is correct. Rob told me this a couple of months ago. Go down to Hamilton Motorcycles. Friendly as, and helpful too. I wish I had bought my bike there. Next service is theirs.

I would rather donate my left one, than go to holeshots...

I guess I will have to travel to Hamilton then, for my next service...
Once the bike is out of warranty, I will go back to Cyclespot, where I always get great service.
