Manawatu Rant n Rave

**ynot slow** · 15th November 2009, 14:49

I was seriously looking at the Triumph ST and new Buell,nobody even looked at me trying them on to see if I needed help or gee heaven forbid try to get me to buy.Also was after chain lube but thought stuff it I'll get it from Napier Suzuki accross from work this week.

Why should the customer have to ask to buy a bike,a quick "how are you","would you like the keys" approach maybe helpfull from sales guys,obviously they're on great base wages so don't need to sell bikes for the commission.

I've had more than one person tell me that Keran in Sales and Andrew in parts are the only ones there worth dealing with, and I'm finding that out for myself.

Poor Owl, I just left him standing there in the shop, as I put my hands in the air and walked out, before I said what I was thinking. Never mind, will give Josh at Suzuki a call in the morning and see what he can jack up for lunch time for me. i'm sure they will want my money.

Pahiatua is just as bad....except Simons Motorcycles. He's great

Okey, done my first ride up in the Manawatu....not bad but that bloody wind today was a pain in the arse...Gimme a norwester anyday over your bloody westerlies!!

Went from Otaki to Shannon then the Shannon Foxton Rd, then is it Himatangi Block Road? and then to Sparkies....Not a bad ride...it will keep...Next weekend hopefully will do the Paihiatua track....

Was farkin great to see all the american muscle cars about....

Don't you worry, I happen to be dealing with an employee of that place at the moment and I've certainly let him know all of our displeasure, I think ANZA might even read this thread tomorrow, so if any one has something to say, say it now

I really hope you have some luck. I was thinking that I should contact the boss tomorrow and complain (If he doesn't know there is a problem how can he sort it type of thing). But I am too angry this time, they have lost me as a customer. Bad timing on their part, 2 weeks before I will be looking to go shopping big time.

When I first arrived in Palmy I got the old shoulder at ANZA. Same as ynot_slow I was seriously checking out a VTR thou. Moved on and found another second hand. Recently I've had good service from both the shop staff and workshop. Once I called by with the kids to pick up a visor spray and the kids walked out with free muffins.

Sorry to hear you got treated so bad, got similar treatment there once because i didnt own a Harley
Sounds like the boss is the main problem, so its gonna be a waste of time complaining to him, just shop elsewhere
Some people just shouldnt be in business

yeah you are right there, Andrew is a friend of ours, a good guy.
But Anza have always been like that, hard to deal with that is

Right, just about to drag out the old Daytona and get her ready for her wee trip tomorrow. Clean and lube should do the trick. See you all in the morning, and ride safe
