I take it back !!! Motomail

**Firefight** · 6th August 2005, 19:53

A few of you will recall, I have from time to time passed comment about both the lack of service and the lack of decent sales at Motomail !..

Well I have to say that my view has changed.

Went there today to pick up some ride gear for my wife, and despite running into some Riff Raff on the door step (well Sue & Jimmy) ha sorry guys.

No jokes, aside , I have to say that not only has the level of service improved vastly, but we also got some bloody sharp deals (remember Ia'm a canny Scot) and don't like partin with me cash...

the sales dude was very helpful, not pushy at all, and had a lot of handy info,
apparently there's a road down south called H/way 22 and a lot of bikes use it

.. just goes to show you can learn something every day..

So thanks Motomail.

F/F

Yeah nice to see you today - must stop running into each other like this, it's getting ridiculous. BTW you looked good with the handbag slung over your shoulder outside the changing rooms there. Good straight face you got going there during the 22 conversation - "22? Where's that?"

lol.. yeah, I bought my cordora jacket and pants from them, and gloves, and they put quite a good deal together. Even when I went back cos the stitching started to come loose on the gloves, they did seem to go out of their way to make sure they had a brand new pair in for me the next day. I'd go back there for more things, and I have recommended them to people too. Personally not had any issues with them, but not dealt hugely with them.. good bunch as far as I know..

this 22 sounds interesting then.. did they give you good directions? do they know where the rest of it went?

Is that guy's name starts with C*****? I had bad experience there before from my 1st purchase... they say they can't be liable for how products they sell to me perform... (when I was a newbie) still anoyed... haven't been back since unless I have to.

I bought my jacket from there as well
They were very helpful indeed with style/size..etc, even let me try on some SIDI boots even though I was determined to find some alpinestars

His name is Chris Hyland and you are right - he's one of the good ones. My bruddah The Hippie works there as well and so does the Labrat on the weekends.

Put it this way - there are 6 people (i thought about it) that i would lend my motorcycle to without concern. they are 3 of them

Well a trip to motomail today for some boots and gloves for girlygirl was a goodin, staff were all helpful and pleasent to deal with, with relevent info on the products they have, and were able to take the time for us(which ain't always is the case with some of the bike come acces shops in the Auckland area that i've had the displeasure to wander in and then out of)
so thumbs up for those guys, they'll feature on my next trip for any gear.

cheers F/F otherwise i might not have bothered
