Hey, I agree with you totally after a brief encounter ordering & getting parts. I was looking at a 1000cc bike on the floor and he was totally respectful. No big deal, you say; but when you are a woman it is really nice to be treated just as a motorcyclist. Really helpful, too.

Also, Mr Motorcycles was very helpful just recently when I was looking for a manual here on kb.

Used to shop at McCutcheons in Dunedin but I think have gone many years ago.

Am still dedicated to Trevor Pierce here in CHCH.

OK lets scrub McIver and Veitch off the list you guys win.

I have only got 1 bike from them and found that they were ok in 94

Both Boyds in Hamilton and Hamilton Motorcycles rate very highly with me. Mind you, i can honestly say that i've never really come across a bad motorcycle dealer in all my years of dealing with various bike shops.
