    I was approached by my NEW Partener Phil to go ahead with this plan, ( He has known me for 25 years now) so he is the money man, I am just the man that know,s what a motor bike is supposed to handle like, know;s the trade and the people that know the people to get the very very best job done as well as the very best customer satisfaction.

    We will be going out of our way to work in with customers mate, hence we leased a building with accomadation to have me close all the time, so availlable at pre arranged strange hours if need be
    Having run my own business from home for 11 years, then going full retail and losing everything I have some idea on how hard it is. If you want any advise let me know. I can tell you what I did wrong.

    Good luck to ya. I will support if I can.

    We have 6 Car par reserved spots in front of our building mate, so there WILL be Parking readily availlable mate.

    This excites me, I was thinking of asking the missus to help put some money towards a suspension upgrade for my birthday - but if there's some professionals around to help try sort out my stock suspension so I don't have to break the bank, well that is AWESOME.

    Can't wait for it to open!!!

    I am sure we will be able to help you mate. Std suspension if adjustable can be made better for NZ road conditions but of course the very best is Quality after market product ie Ohlin;s for example.

    Ohlins with Robert Taylor was going to be my "end game" option, and still will be but it would be nice to see how far I can take my standard adjustable suspension until I can get the money for a full rework.

    Can't wait for your shop to open, I'll be your first customer! Haha.

    Good luck to you Shaun. I will keep an eye out for the shop. Are you going to be doing Bike Alignments there?
