I've never bagged your gear you tart, I even told a mate to buy your fuckin gear.
I was taking the piss and I wholeheartedly agree with you about rip off NZ.
you just deleted a post. why?
No I havent determined you a lost cause at all, as far as a potential sale goes I dont think there is a deal in the wind based on your comments.
My manufacturer Toll make some Vanson as well as Clover models and also toll makes my brand against the specification I demand. As far as designing goes youre right, spidi, Alpine etc etc have the cutting edge for sure but I guess they got the budget and people employed to keep on top of it all, Im just me unfortunetly and as much as I try I dont think Im going to be a style threat to them anytime soon, but however there is a market for lower costs brands, I think at the end of the day its the difference between some bikers having gear and some not. My Vengeance Jacket for example for the same spec and fit would be $750 in a Spidi or Alpinestar, as far as durability goes in a crash they would still perform as good if not better (based on thicker leather in my garments)
We try our best, we use the best we can get , ie 3M thinsulate thermal liners, stretchy mesh, scotchlite, CE hard soft composite armor YKK zips, these things you find in top brands, we use Keprotech in the Vengeance also in non impact areas over the bicep with a Zip flap in it for venting.
The potential stuff you can use is huge but I am the little guy for sure, I am however improving the gear all the time, this is why I go to so many trackdays to see and hear my customers comments.
As for the retailers, I am a threat, no question, so far I have had 5 retailers wanting to stock my brand gear, they mostly knw of it and have seen it, there are alot of bikers wearing it now, so Lou there is no point suggesting Im not a threat because I know the import stats and Im not off the feild, sorry to disappoint you on that, but this is a free market and bikers are done paying OTT prices for gear via the normal distribution channels.
Additionally we are one of the few companies offering desiging and made to measure race suits, we are going to get bigger in this area, for now we have a few suits out there, many having slid down the track and ALL still being used without so much as a tear, ask KickingZebra about manfield, he crashed got up, gear dirty but fine, next race same corner different biker crashed in Alpinestars, leathers rooted !!! so dont go knocking me to much as the proof is in that kinda performance isnt it?
Anyway DawnRazor, if you wanted to look at my gear youre welcome, Im happy to show you and happy for you to try it on, I do this full time now so Im not going to knock a potential sale, I suspect however your not that serious.
Here is a picture of our speedster jacket in ladies cut with QM3003 pants, total cost for the lot is $698.00 less KB discount = $628.20, whats your deal Lou ?????
Ive run out of fucks to give
The best thing in that picture is the bike
Wow, there's a lot of love in this thread, isn't there?
Now I'm no expert on bikes or biker gear, but I have to say that simply due to the support Quasimoto gives to the KB community is worthy of at least having an honest look at his gear.
Granted, there's not the huge range, or the `designer' styling, but I have to say in many cases I prefer the look of some of Quasimoto's jacket styles (in particular the Rapid series) to the Dainese range, which IMHO looks quite garish and over the top. Granted, if you already have some bright-green Kawasaki sports bike or a race-rep machine covered in clashing stickers, that may suit, but I don't think everybody is wanting to stand out like dog's balls when they walk into the Fish and Chip shop to pick up their order.
Maybe Quasi gear doesn't quite suit the garish superbike image that many of the sports riders are looking for, but I for one would rather be wearing his rather more understated gear than nearly all of the other stuff I've seen, and that's not just me shoe-polishing because Quasi has helped me out personally with gear.
My 10c.
True, but not for those reasons, as it happens.
Why is this not part of your sales pitch also, its good to know, it gives the consumer confidence - never a bad thing
very noble, as I mentioned before there tends to be two price structures and qualities to bike gear in this country, I'm sick of not having an option and being forced to buy tat, so forgive me if I'm a little gun shy
I thought you said you knew how much your rivals are charging retail, 'cus your about $250 bucks off most stuff I've seen by those particular manufactures recently for sale in NZ
never under question
a free market, so we are free to have opinions as well, yes?
This is sounding more like a sales pitch the further we go along
Here where you just fucked up ROYALLY my son, you have just shown how uninterested you are in selling me anything, 'cus you have already decided I'm not a punter.....You don't even have the commonsense to know as much about your clients as possible before making your sales pitch....I"M A FUCKING BLOKE YA TIT, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SHOWING ME WOMENS LEATHERS FOR - THATS JUST UNBELIEVABLY IGNORANT ON YOUR BEHALF.
Particularly seeing as I will be looking to get my missus some gear at some stage for the occassional pillion adventure and I'm sorry to say it but your stuff kinda fits that bill...WELL IT USED TO.
Good effort though
Cause you are bitchin like a woman? I am picking ....... you sit down to pi$$
If you aint buying / wearing Quasi leathers, you either paid to much, just looking to look good on your bike or are just a brand name chaser. You buy the big named brands you are paying for the name, not quality, you pay for their advertising, their sponsored riders.
On Time .... In Spec .... On Budget .... Yeah Right!
As I alluded to above I have sorted myself out in the biker gear department. A top notch deal, got a jacket, pants, gloves and back protector all for the price of what one jacket would cost in a bike shop.
I will give out the details later when I have the stuff and I can advise on ever step of the process.
