The quality of most of these websites is shocking

I'm just getting back into biking since being a teenager and it's so frustrating trying to use these rubbish sites after spending most of my internet days buying guitar related gear from really good sites.

www.touratech.co.nz
Jacket category appears to be well stocked (72 products).
in reality it's 1 hood, 1 collar and 4 or so jackets shown in every size available

They expect you to buy a 2.3k jacket with just the marketing spiel to go off. no sizing chart or specs

Fergus, thanks for the feedback and we have taken that onboard...clothing is one of those things we have paid no attention to...we have focused more on the bike than the riders clothing

We are in month 3 and I am working on the next variation of our website now. Hopefully makes things easier and picking clothing with some sizes!!....Doh.

Great thread...and feel free to give me any ideas/suggestions you have that will make your equipment/clothing and accessories buying experience easier.

Dont forget to consider Www.motorcyclealley.co.nz

I'm a "bit" biased but, we've got:

and

http://www.trademe.co.nz/stores/roll...-motor-company

for HD stuff.

We've managed to develop some decent volume and will be growing into bike parts shortly.

Another to consider: http://www.cyclegear.com/

Used them for a jacket that was no longer available in NZ.

Cycletreads.
I have in the past ordered online and got what I ordered in reasonable time.

I placed an online order for some tyres some time ago and after a week or so I sent an e-mail. No response.
I rang them. He said he would check it out and ring me back soon. No phone call.
Some 6 hrs. later I rang them back. Got put through several people.
Finally they said they didn't have the front.
Its on their site as available online.
I have paid $$ online for these items.
Finally they said they will ring me tomorrow.

Why not say here is your rear and we have credited your card for the front.
Or even contact me and tell me what the problem is.

Q. Do I hold my breath or ask for my $$ back.
A phrase of arses and elbows springs to mind and shopping elsewhere.

I currently buy my Sinisalo kit out of Germany on EBay , what are your prices and availability like? It only takes 2 weeks to ship from Europe to my door in NZ.

**bigboy** · 6th November 2013, 09:39

Hi.. I had no luck finding jackets etc in NZ to fit me 148cm chest.

I went online to revzilla, awesome site, huge range, video breakdowns of most products.

Bought jacket, pants and gloves. Paid and it arrived at my door in rural NZ in 12 days.

Thanks Revzilla.

Sure do, got my helmet from there. Only drawback is they have quite a few export conditions where they can't export certain brands

Even with expensive shipping its normally cheaper than local importers :S

I haven't followed through the entire purchasing process, so even so it appears to be a better effort than most in NZ

Your search my model result set is missing pictures for a lot of items, they're 404ing (missing).

These are examples of the URLs

http://www.fastbikegear.co.nz/images...ew/BULB6WO.jpg
http://www.fastbikegear.co.nz/images...w/HS0001RE.jpg

It's not polite to break into somebodies site and find them, but I would hazard a guess that the directory Rgsite_new should be something else? It'll be in the template for your search results, the fix will probably be a single line of text.

Thanks for making us aware of the issue. the way our site is automated and linked to the RG site if they were missing the image when we last did a synch we get the 404 error we can manual add any missing images though, so many thanks!!
