Title: We need this shop in SF
Post by: Michael Moore on February 17, 2010, 02:45:59 PM
How cool would it be to have this place locally?

(Not that I'm complaining mind you about what we do have, this is just very very nice.)

I read somewhere that they were trying to open up a shop in the LA area a while ago.  Plans might have gotten squished due to the economy though.

Good old Sydney. Some of the guys down there love this place, others not so much. I rode by it a few times when I was down there, but it was never open so I didn't go inside.

sweet ... but they seem to have a REALLY big floored inventory.  i am wondering if anyone is actually purchasing their cool bikes.

oh, and sig. moore ... i can spray paint some motors on the side of your house, if you like that look.  i am pretty sure joe has some punks in his hood that can tag your house too  [evil]

I think the bikes are SUPER COOL, but $20 GRAND for a Kawasaki W650 with a paint job and a cafe seat? 

I can't imagine too many people willing to shell out that kind of dough on a $6500 bike.

Well, those are Australian dollars, so about 10% cheaper in USD. But yeah, still pretty steep.

Very steep for a '42 Indian that has the majority of its crankcase oil sitting in a drip pan underneath it!!  [laugh]

I'm seeing more and more of them out on the road. Curiously, mostly only cruising around town, never out in the twisties...

Oh, and they've got a cool cafe as part of the shop, but the coffee's _lousy!_
