Re: Solomoto

I had morepowerracing.com do the same thing. but i kept ordering because they would give great deals and I couldn't find anyone to match the prices.

Re: Solomoto

I opened up my email yesterday and had twenty-four identical email's from them saying something like:

"You have created an account but haven't ordered anything yet. Is there something we can help you find?"

I emailed them about it. They said it was a "glitch" they are working on.

Re: Solomoto

My local shop always asks "How much did you pay for that?" and when I tell them they say "We pay more than that!" piss on that! I would rather wait for shipping than to pay 30-50% more. I went out of town to buy my bike over $150 that they wouldn't come down to match. so I took a 50 mi. trip to San Luis Motorsports and picked my bike up. my friend who drove just wanted breakfast at Denny's so 20 bucks and 50 miles later I have my RR.

Re: Solomoto

no, i mean your local shop...not dealer. like the guy that says..."Hey Cliff, what would you like to order today? I can get XXXXXXX and XXXXXXX to ya for cost!"

So I say, "Where do I swipe?"


i say this, but today I unwrapped a big box of stuff from Denniskirk.com's outlet store!
(Icon Mainframe Helmet - $52.50, Teknic Knox CE Safety Suit - $59.99, Bridgestone Racing NSR50/Scooter Tire - $38.39) So I definately mail order a lot of stuff.

Re: Solomoto

heres an email i got a day after ordering online from Cal-Sportbike Customs:

Good afternoon,
The next crate of Speedo Healers is due here in a few more business days. At that time we will bill your credit card and ship your order per your requested shipping method. Remember: we will not bill your card until your order ships.Thank you for your order!

...it would have been nice if they had an "out of stock" warning

I think they avoid the drop ship because it does cost money, Personally the fee to drop ship is minimal and well worth it to keep the customer happy.

Re: Solomoto

Its been happening more and more lately. Kneedraggers has done that to me the last 4 orders I have had from them. Takes over 2 weeks to get stuff now, when I used to get stuff sometimes as little as 2 days. Makes planning repairs and upgrade days a pain in the ass.

As for local shops, unfortunately with exception to solomotoparts being by me the rest arent even in the ballpark for the prices I get online. I tried several times and wound up ordering online after wasting a day looking.

Re: Solomoto

Most places don't carry very much stock they are just middle men. Large inventories cost too much money.

Good prices..
I'm on a college students budget, so I just bought a 525 (-1) front sprocket for my GSXR, and a BMC filter..
