finally somewhere closer then the city, http://www.gasolinealleyharleydavidson.com.au/

3445 Pacific Highway, Slacks Creek, QLD 4127

 

opening 16th June

 

edit: ahh was already mentioned in news sections

I will be there one_oak , will you ? 

 yeah, its a thursday though :/ Might have to turn up on the saturday

 

turn up Thursday AND Saturday , you know you want to . Theres a Dyna waiting there with your name on it.  

 

A fore name? That's a 'christian name' to my generation before the nanny state or political correctness or whatever ya wanna call it changed the wording lest the Muslims and the aetheists get offended. First name would suffice but fore name sounds a tad wanky.

 

Well ,  we all know God rides a Harley , right ?

mmmmmmmmmm,  i will have to do some research and consult with my associates , i shall return shortly with a definitive answer , maybe.

Isaac , after much research , i have come up with a few verses.   Psalm 68 :33   To him who rides the ancient skies above , who thunders with mighty  voice. ( screamin Eagle  ?)    Psalm 104.3   And who lays the beams of his upper chambers on there waters . He makes the cloud his Chariot and rides on the wings of the wind.   Revelation 4 : 5  Out of the Throne proceed lightinings , sound , and Thunder .There are seven lamps of fire burning before his Throne, which are the seven spirits of God . ( Iron , Dyna , Softail , Rocker , Fat Boy , Road King , Night Rod ? ) Revelation 2:27  And he shall rule them with a ROD of  IRON , as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers , even as i received them of my Father.

Well i'm going to check the place out. I'm on holidays all this week & have really got the shits cos the Winternationals that we were racing at was fuggin washed out.

 

Had a squizz yesty arvo and its all painted up in HD black/orange/white but no fixed signage other than temporary banners. Lookin' good - all it lacks is BIKES and millions of $$$$ worth of after-sales shiny bits.

 

 

Went there tonight ,  Tuesday 14 th , about 20 bikes in Showroom , forecourt all cleaned up , gates up and painted , looks like it will be good to go Thursday.

Might see if I can get down for a look on Thursday

i'm heading over about 4

Went and checked it out, was a busy spot when I got there lot of people looking the place over, seems like it will do well.

The prices are the typical HD we've come to know so well. Ended up buying some gloves and another helmet ang got a couple of free t shirts for the missus and I.

Also caught up with Beagle whilst over there and had a short chat.

Must have just missed you mate but did catch Chromer & homerd while i was there.
I wasn't all that impressed to tell the truth. The place was nowhere near finished, the staff didn't have much of an idea & they didn't even have a bloody sausage sizzle happening.
One of the chicks that works there was telling us how she'd never worked in a bike shop before but did work at Aldi.
Time will tell i suppose but i can't see me being a regular.
Oh, i got a couple of tshirts as well

I was there at 11.30 and the sausage sizzle was in full swing , they must have run out when you were there. I think they did well for there first day , as you say , time will tell .

yeah , went and had a look, spoke to the owner (straight to the head of it all) and he was promising real customer service, which will be a nice change, lets hope they live up to it.
bugger me , no free t-shirts or sausages while i was there, looks like all the early birds got that stuff

Well, i went down with chromer for a spin, no sausage sizzle cause we left before it happened, did get my free t-shirts though,  once all their stock is there will go for another look,  before i forget, 2 more sleeps and i'm off to Bali, have I mentioned that , looks like a good time to go, might get a tad fucken cold here next week

saturday should be the big one for most people

reading the workshop stuff on the web sounds good

quick fit for oil change and tyres first in best dress sounds good no booking in

pick up local and drop off of bike service even better

will be asking alot of questions on saturday

prices may be locked on some stuff

i will give them a try who knows

Ahh, I believe I saw you there Jilli; I wasn't sure until now but I was there at that time and thought you looked familiar -  that'll be from photos on here!

They do seem big on the customer service angle - every Staff person I spoke with introduced themselves by name and that's not a reglar feature anywhere. Some Staff have no 'bike background' but that's no biggie either - I'm sure they're the ones selling apparel and will flick pass bike questions to those who do.

When I arrived one bloke told me a bit about their set up and said they have a 'Valet service' whereby they'll collect your bike, service and return it same day. Cool!

It's a good lookin' shop and the set up is still in its infancy. Being just down the road from 'Heavy Duty' and the rest of the southside 'Bike Mecca' (Moss street), I reckon they'll get plenty of passing trade and they'll do well.
