Oh yea na sweet as aye cuz.
So I went to melborne for the Tool concert for three days. I left my gear (helmet, pants, jacket, and gloves) at the Auckland airports i-site luggage storage. I got back today to find they have lost it all!!! they are giving me $1200 to get some new gear tomorrow but I need to find a good place to get some from thats close to the airport.If anyone can give some advice on what to get and where to get would be very helpful.
cheers

Whip it, whip it good!
Get online and shop till you drop. Courier fee wont be that expensive. You may even be lucky enough to score a friendly KBr that can do a free delivery. That sucks

Get them to pay for a cab to a shop that sells gear, buy the gear, get them to set you on your way...
Oh yea na sweet as aye cuz.
thats the plan, i was hoping someone could reccomend a good gear supplier to make life easier

I like Revit gear, for which Motomail on College Hill in Ponsonby are very good. They have loads of gear and a good selection of helmets (sizes may be limited), as well as decent coffee!
If you can shop on the North Shore, there's a high density of shops along Barry's Point Road - Cycletreads, Holeshot and Cyclespot. If you are a member of MAG-NZ, you can score 10% off in Cyclespot if I recall correctly (the latter are online as Depot4),. Between the three of them there is a hell of a lot of gear in stock within 100 metres so you have a really good shout at getting outfitted in one session.
If you're staying down South or out West, someone else will need to chip in.
Hope that helps!

Good luck getting that $1200..
If you manage to get $$$$ there is a Bus that runs from the Auckland Airport into Auckland CBD 24/7 $25return..Across the road from where the Airport bus drops you off ( Britomart) there is another bus that travels up the Northern bus lane $3.80 oneway.. Get that bus and get off the 1st stop very close to Barrys point rd and walk to CYCLE TREADS..
Or try riding your bike with no Lid to Treads...

$1200 - That would get me a helmet and some visor cleaner. Miserable bastards.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
BogOff-Cant you see I'm busy?
I really don't believe your gear was lost.
Try Trademe to see if the theifs want to sell it back to you.
Failing that, +1 for Motomail.
Oh yea na sweet as aye cuz.
thats all good advise except the riding with no lid, thats just madness. but thanks all the same, i shall go to the sugested shops. and dont worry, i will get the money or you'll see me on tomorrows news
cheers

Does the luggage storage area not have any security cameras?!!
Oh yea na sweet as aye cuz.
so do ya recon $1200 wont cover it all? i got my gear with my bike 11 years ago so i'm a little out of touch with the pricing. i just rattled off a number and they said no worries. they do have cameras there but they said they would just give me the money. i'll see what happens in the morning, but i am due for a gear upgrade. thanks for the offer steeve but i'll make them pay for the cab to get me round and if it costs any more for the gear i'll be getting more. i could also make them pay me a days lost wages too. really shitty way to end an awesome trip.
