Thank you so much to our supporters Grant Tucker Attorneys’, BMW Launceston, Insta360, and Cardo. So let’s talk about where we are at in building this business. We were planning to head to Sydney, buy motorcycles, and start the business there. The best-laid plans of mice and men… It got changed as there was no way for us to ride the boat back. So one day I chose to buy bikes here in Tasmania. I went to the first dealer and told them I was there to buy. They sent me away empty-handed, I know I guess my money was not what they wanted. I went for a walk to calm down and came across BMW Launceston. I had heard about the R18 from a couple of YouTubers (Her Two Wheels & Mr Darcy & The Ol’ Man) so I thought I should have a look at it. From the moment I stepped into BMW, I was treated with respect (WOW!). I was not pressured into looking or buying something they wanted me to buy. When I told them I wanted to talk about the R18 I don’t think the poor salesman was ready for me.
Next thing I was riding off their lot for a ride test on this BEAST of a bike. OMG!!!!!!! within minutes my face had a smile a mile wide. So when I got back to the dealership they had made a sale. The first thing to know not every bike is going to tick all the boxes. Some will say what a crappy bike to buy. Others will be in love with your choice. But let me repeat some words of wisdom “I don’t care what you ride as long as it has two wheels” but then let me add the following “Just do it safely, get your gear”. This past Saturday we (Gabriel and I) went out for a long ride with a couple of friends. Oh, how I missed riding with friends. As we got back to the dealership to leave the bike (BMW Launceston once again Going the Extra Mile) as we are waiting for the Shipping container to be dropped off before the bikes can come home.
But we started looking at the BMW 300R so I took the small bike out for a ride and when I got back my smile was once again noticeable on my face. So this took place…
I guess this makes us owners of BMW motorcycles. To the other dealer, I talked to too bad for you maybe learn to treat your customers like BMW does and your dealership will get more sales. Thank you to the Launceston BMW team.
So I guess we need to let you know when we are going for our first big ride. Well due to funding coming late we have moved a number of things back a little bit Gabriel is testing right now as this is being written for his license. But he also has to take a First aid course and a rider’s school as well before we leave for the open road. Safety first must be our first action in thoughts. Though on the 28th of November we are meeting with a business center to help us build the business in a safe way. We have purchased T-shirts to sell directly to our Australia Customers. We have not done the pricing them but expect them to be right around the $20-$25 mark which will include shipping. Here is the design…
Sorry people the model does not come with the T-shirt. Sorry ladies these will be T-shirts, not tank tops. If we sell this first lot we will order more with a different design. We will only have 5 of each size (Adult S-2xl) so when they come in get them fast. Well, that is the update for right now more to come as the business is being built we will keep you informed.
