Bad Impression - Christchurch First European Motorcycles

Well this has been interesting reading...and while I can sort of sympathize with the various dilemmas encountered by some, my take on it is simple. If I'm looking for a test ride, I sure a hell don't get annoyed if I encounter a few pointy questions from a shop that doesn't know me.

Then again, I've at times just bowled up and ordered/bought what I wanted without test riding a bike from said shop. Maybe a salesman gets the no mucking about vibe from me...

In the interests of fairness...
I bagged Casbolts a bit earlier. Seems I need to balance things up a little now. We went in there on Saturday as Mrs Oakie is looking for another bike and service for me was spot on this time. We weren't leapt on as soon as we walked in the door but had a salesperson walk up after about 3 minutes of looking with a hello and a query as to if he could help. Told him "just looking" and he said "fine, just yell if you need anything" then left us to it. For me, that was good service.

(In the end we did summon him back so Mrs Oakie could try a couple of bikes on for size. And one for me too )
