I have used them quite a bit, never had any issues with the 'at your own risk' low cost shipping option. Quite often it's faster than ordering something from Auckland

I'd much rather go local than support somebody who is no longer local, but implies they are.

I used to do the website. When it was good and he didn't owe me cash.

Not fantastically given the reverb prices. Actually, scratch that, was a steal in comparison!

The trial jumps were done on a Matchless 500 then on to the TR6 Triumph which went on to do the same multiple times. Tough men, Tim Gibbes (Kiwi), Bud Ekins and Steve McQueen, they all shovel dug a launch ramp themselves just out of sight on that hill.

I had a 1951 Matchless 500 road bike years ago & took it around a scrambles track & did a couple of small jumps - nothing like Steve McQueen's, so I can appreciate the skill to do what he achieved.
