I think bike shops in NZ are more interested in drinking coffee and talking shit than selling bikes!

I was at Sawyers Monday and Wednesday and no-one offered me coffee - but then I'm a weirdo on decaf anyway, but Brendan did go out dirt bike riding with me for a couple of hours on Wednesday around Red Rocks and up Long Gully to try and aid my choice of bike. I think that was more use than the coffee. No doubt they have coffee there, I just didn't go looking for it.

As for the topic of this thread, Spankme I hope you get a few more donations as it would be great if you can keep this site going and I guess somehwere along the way you will end up paying for disc space and bandwidth if you aren't already.

The Motorad boys have got a very swank DIY coffee machine down their end of the store...

I used to enjoy the cappucinos from the coffee machine at Cycletreads
Barrys point road.

Although sadly the machine is not there anymore

last couple of times I've been in there it doesn't work. And they also have a "Coffee $2" sign up. If I ran a bike shop the coffee would be free.

Phil Turnbull Suzuki/Yamaha in Palmerston North have a very swish coffee machine, and they ALWAYS offer to make us coffee, even though they have known for years that it's very unlikely we'll ever buy a bike off them. They're good guys. (I always have one, but I make my own)

Lynda gave a very good promo for the site at the wellington e-riders anniversary drinks recently held at Motorad/Sawyers.

Count me in too !

I would be happy to ante up $10.00 - $15.00 for a charity ride any day of the week. And yes I would also be interested in buying a tee shirt too!

a Sunday would be preferable - but if it had to be a Saturday that ok too
