I was there a couple of weeks ago, Ryan informed me that they are now going back to Hampton Motorcycles, all brands better prices.

Should be a good thing as Hondas are ghey hahahaha

Watch this space.

I recently had them do some work on my Honda and have nothing but praise for the team there. Job well done. Reasonable price, too. I'd be sorry to see them go- anyone have the solid poop on what's happening there now?

hamptons are well known for changing their franchise every few years or so.

every time they get a new one/toss out the old one they are selling the next best thing to come along

business as usual for those guys.

last time I had a "chat"with Neville I got his theory of world domination,which at that time was via Yamaha and Laverda

nothing has changed,except the brands

So correct...get a franchise, squeeze the other franchisees out of ChCh so you've got an exclusive, milk it hard till you've fucked it in ChCh then change brands....Yamaha, BMW, Honda, I'd have thought the distributors would have caught on to him by now.

Casbolts are still Honda - I'm sure they would be able help you out.

They will and they are good. OEM/Genuine Honda spares ex Japan in no time. And proper prices.

I rate them (I hear alotta people don't.. I bet they have never done more than walk in the showroom and ask for a price for a kawasaki part)

It's a shame Rob has left, he was a top bloke, but the other fellas still do me right. A+ for them.

...he still is...

[Fast Eddie]

haha whoops, yea 'course he still is. But it was nice having him in at Casbolts

[The Lone Rider]

So this means they dont sell OEM honda parts? or they do, but prices have just gone up since they have to get them through a Honda dealer

Craig is a great bloke, woppit was ok but unique. Graeme rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. I watched it personally when I worked there. The stories are not baseless.

*******EDITED************
Accidentally wrote Greg (who is Woppit) instead of Craig.

[SMOKEU]

Reasonable price, too

Compared to what, the entire GDP of a small nation? I've been there and got burnt, and not just in terms of price.

ahh Casbolts,one of the fine family of......ummm........family bike shops in churchur

Almost a thing of the past now but when old Mr Casbolt and Mr Whiting and all the fun loving gang were about,you knew you were privileged to be able to walk in the shop,let alone buy a part.

And if the card system said it was out of stock,it was out of stock and you pointing to it on the shelf was not going to get you anywhere at all.......

those were the days....
