Discussion on Quasi Gear from Wellington Gear Thread

[mister.koz]

Well, i could go into detail about the quality of my quasi gears (racer 9 + 2 pair of sliders) but i am not really qualified to give advice on the quality, it looks good, feels good and i have seen a couple of suits after various bins at various speeds and the results i see are great, beyond that i dunno.

Personally i am stoaked with the service, I turned up one evening after dinner to quasi's house to pick up my leathers, they invited me into their home happily. I've emailed and text'd and phoned about a few things being a paranoid new owner and they have happily put up with me and helped me out.

I think its unfortunate that one bad review is worth 100 good ones and i also think its pretty crappy that quasi's been bagged and not given the chance to resolve the issue.

Anyways, everyone's got their opinion and mine is that quasi gear is great and the support that comes with it is even better.

Just curious quasi but do you plan on opening a shop or something so people can browse your gear? I mean myself I prefere to look and touch the gear I might be buying.
For example I have got a Ventura pack on order from a bike shop after I had a look at some similer size gear they had on display as the photos on the Ventura site are shit and too small.

Anyway the point I'm making is that there must be a lot of people like myself who wont trust buying off the web unless we're actualy seeing and holding the gear in our hands.

Hi mate, no we arent sorry, we have a coupl of retailers close to Hamilton but they want consignment stock, so you can imagine the cost of it, ie $20k worth of gear up here and another $10k worth in Wellington with Deano, its to much to fund all shops into a range of gear, then of course they want a 40% margin to!!
to much for a little guy mate sorry.

What we do however is offer a return optin if the gear doesnt fit, or with security over a credit card, we can send gear anywhere for customers to look at, these systems work well.

Maybe get down to welly to see Deano (contact details on our website) he has a range for you to look at.

hope that helps

cheers

It wasn't Hitcher that started bashing Motomart.

My wife tried to buy me a bike from Motomart as a birthday surprise. They then sold it to Bay City Motorcycles the day after she went in to say she wanted the red one and would be back with cash. Luckily Bay City Motorcycles quite happily sorted the deal out and sent the bike back. We never, ever got an apology from Motomart, and subsequent visits where the only service I received was an Alsatian humping my leg confirmed my opinion.

It was also me that was "bashing" other brands. I've been riding bikes for 25 years. I've bought a lot of gear in that time, both from wearing it out and crashing it. All the brands I listed have cost me money; Spyke, Teknic, Alpinestars, Hein Gericke. I'm not rich. When I spend $2 grand + on gear I don't expect it to crap out (barring accidents) in days or weeks. I certainly don't expect a brand like Alpinestars to literally disintegrate on the very first ride. I had a suit made locally we I went racing and it survived a couple of big tumbles with minimal patching. If I'd been wearing the Alpinestars gear that I bought many years down the track, in any of those accidents, I would have spent time in burns wards getting skin grafts and having little pieces of gravel dug out of what would have been left of my epidermis.

I know from talking to other KBers that if a zip craps out in my Quasi gear it will get sorted. I won't be plaguing Anil in Majoribanks Shoe Repair to fix yet another zip/dome/velcro fastener without support from the retailer or distributor.

I take issue with Robert bringing race gear for top racers into the picture. I don't for a minute believe that Rossi's Alpinestars gear is anything other than specifically custom made for him. Off the rack stuff is a vastly different propisition.

I don't tend to bash brands or shops but I agree that Motomart are not a good place to get service. My Hornet came from them and when I took my bike into Anza to get its first free service they told Anza that I can't get the free service because it had done about 1060km when it should be 1000km or less.

I mean Phil Turnballs had no problem giving me free first services on my last two bikes even if I went over the first 1000km.

It be true, yah know... I ordered a jacket that was a bit small returned and got the new one a couple of days later... no problem...

Hopefully the bitching and counter bitching has stopped, and everybody has stopped slagging off other peoples gear.
Quasi obviously has top quality gear, as do some of the internationally known "name brands". Then there are the "little guys" ... who are helping people get into gear, within their budgets.
I'm sure there is room for all, and all supplying a different segment of the market. Each one, shouldn't be a real issue or problem for the other suppliers.
Slagging others gear isn't needed .... if a suppliers gear is good, it stands on it's merits and reputation. Rubbishing someone else's gear, takes away from the credibility and professionalism of a supplier. It is poor form. If gear is poor quality, it will quickly be discovered and word of mouth will see that it doesn't proliferate and endanger our fellow bikers by being unsafe.

Guys that come on here and attack a supplier over an issue that they should resolve outside of this forum, is also poor form. Every effort should be made to sort an issue first .... before dragging a dispute into a public forum .... in my opinion!

Now .... lets all have a group hug and sing Kum bye arrrrrrh !!! lol

Hit the nail on the head. Well stated...

Casey Stoner certainly emphasised the benefit of wearing AlpineStars leathers several times over this season and Im sure there are just as many local racers who will attest to the quality of both that product and Quasis good work.

everytime I fall off...my alpinestars rip..or make a hole!!! that is something I have been less than impressed with.. How ever...Alpinestars make good looking kit!!
