So few known good bike stores

After buying my third bike from Colemans Suzuki in AKL, I decided it was time I showed my appriciation for the guys and find someway of telling others how good they were...

Well i finally found it and thought I'd share the website so others can sayings thanx, or what ever they wish to.

fuck, don't post that up here.

there's a few people with words to say......

Different shops mean different things to different people. Personally I won't bother with colemans, their workshop is shocking.

yeah, I even picked your arse up to take you there for battery and tyres and they were hardly interested.

one good experience and you'd have probably thought of them first next time you had a problem.

customer service is not a strong point in many of Aucklands bike shops.

Shows how much I know...

But on that note, if their that bad, then post a message on that site.
Better to let people know and share the knowledge. Stop others fromg etting ripped off... I think that's what the sites about anyways.
Screw the bad guys out of business and help the good ones.

We all have our favourites. I like Cycletreads and Spectrum.

**cdmdotnet** · 24th November 2006, 13:27

I consulted and advised on it when i couldn't find one.
Odd idea, but i guess it makes sense. Community knowledge and all.

**cdmdotnet** · 24th November 2006, 13:28

do cycletreads have a workshop?
you've all got me worried over my bikes now

**slinky** · 24th November 2006, 13:31

cycle treads on barry point road ay
accross from honda shop.

they have workshop.
don't know what work they would do though.
tyres,chain, sprockets n oil is whati have had done there.
they ar always good to me.

Dont worry about it, there are many different opinions on KB. If you think Colemans are good then go for it... There are few people on KB who have worked for them.

However all I will say is some people say they are terrible, while others swear by them - rather make up your own mind than let KB sway you

**DMNTD:Me** · 24th November 2006, 13:40

Good idea re that website but as far as Colemans are concern I give them a wide berth due to past issues and prefer my local(Whangarei) Suzuki shop,Maunders Suzuki.
Excellent straight up customer service....and they let me ride their bikes

Thanks about the site. From the sounds of it, more people like them less then those who do.

All I can say is if you can help one person by stopping them from making a bad decision, then you've done a good thing.

Hardest thing is getting people to share their knowledge.
