    NZ online gear store?

    What NZ sites have prices and pictures for motorcycle gear? None of the main bike stores' sites seem to. Motherfuckers, give me some info!:spudwow:

    motomail.co.nz say they do, but the last time I looked it was special offers only, they do mail order though and you can download a catalogue, but not strictly a online shopping experience.

    Just look at UK sites and get sizes and styles and then order them from your friendly bike shop directly. sucks but is cheaper then importing

    How could you guys? You forgot TonyB!!!

    I know it's only just starting, but TonyB has a small but growing motorcycle equipment online store.

    Not even that at the moment - they are all hands on deck with moving - the new showroom and otlet stores open on Wednesday.
    Once the dust settles there they will be back on the online case.

    Chris IS committed to an online shop.

    -------------------------




    I'm not so sure.
    I was involved in several dotcom meltdowns during the horror run - I was Art Director at IT media when flyingpig.co.nz contributed to that organisation going out the back door - so I remain quite sceptical about the viability of online trading, particularly for bike gear - it's a touchy feely thing, plus the cost of geeks and the overhead of maintining the site might not be covered by the revenue it generates.

    Later this year we'll know who's right.

    Me and my old man were looking into starting an online shop. because i work down the road from NWA and i have a friend who works there. But all the importers and shops got together in NZ and the importers were will not sell to an online store. You have to have a retail shop to get accounts with them.

    so i think the only way NZ is going to get online shopping when it comes to bike stuff is if the retail shops start doing it on the side

    Buying clothes online is not worth the effort usually. Sizing is all over the place and things look different in photos.
    AMPS buy stuff only after we've seen samples.

    I don't want to buy online, just look at prices and such so I know what to pay.

    Jim2, I certainly havn't forgotten ol' TonyB or his grand Minotaur leathers, it's just that at the moment I'm more looking for jacket and helmet prices.

    Send a PM to various retailers who are on this site, me, cibby etc. Give an idea of what you want and your budget and most will reply. I sure will.

    crap...crap....crap...u ain't even do it hav ya....

    I saved $730 NZD by importing my leathers after sizing them at my local bike shop and saved about 70-80 NZD on my old gloves...

    bike gear is shit loads cheaper overseas even after you pay import duties and GST
