Moderators on here should remember that MSO are not the only site sponsors and you are doing those sponsors that sell bikes other than MSO a big disservice by telling anyone who will listen that MSO is the only way to go. It would seem that half of you are on ken and linda's payroll.While MSO do great bikes ,so do some of the other sponsors such as MAYLANDS,but you are dead set on trying to only sell MSO's bikes for them,or so it would seem.
Instead of trying to send people to just one sponsor(and even negotiating a deal by the sound of one of the posts)you should recommend every one of the sponsors and let the customer do the shopping for themselves.If someone asks about a particular bike then tell 'em about it but don't try to push just one brand.

Remember its not what your sponsors can do for you ,its what you can do for your sponsors!!!All of them!!

id say you should get an MSO 140 or a 125. which ever one you want. i live in west pennant hills and own a motovert. it goes pretty well and cops a hiding from my brothers and dad and still is beating strong. i would suggest MSO because they are friendly and realiable from guys that i know who have bought bikes from them. Also if anything happens they will get it fixed ASAP. Plus MSO bikes arent priced too high. my next bike i would buy would be from them and would be a 140sx. Go to MSO. thats what i would say. Ebay if your looking for a bargain but dont trust there reliabilty.

 

[coolmodee01]

dude my opinion is my opinion i would sugest she buys a motovert before all of them
but i hate pitpro's they are not worth the wheels they roll on quality wise
as for suporting maylands brian over there is a legend he is a motovert and pitster distributor before a pitpro distributor as far as i'm concerned

i dont buy any thing from either store not because i dont wanna but i suport my local bike shop more than anything as you do so both big 50's and even more buzz bikes they both do alot for the minibike scene so they get my business hands down

so get off your horse and go riding it's a puplic holiday

sheesh some people
and in this case the chick is from sydney so the convienience thing is very relevant

 

[binking]

Thats right on coolmodee01. She's asking about a bike not a seller. I think nearly everyone on here knows there is a difference between the MSO's and most of the other bikes that are constantly mentioned on the forums. If you've got the budget go the MSO all day every day.

 

[GoosE#69]

Wasn't directed at every mod coolmodee01,just the few who are involved with MSO.Having a relationship with a sponsor is cool but in the capacity of a moderator they should be fair to all sponsors not just those that they have some kind of arrangement with.
If youd actually been to maylands you'd know that Brian is a pitpro dealer mainly,then motovert and pitster pro,just take a look at the photo of his shop,can you see any motoverts?Saying as far as your concerned doesn't mean your right,Its like saying holden also do hummers and as far as I'm concerned that is what they mainly deal in.
I'll state again that its not an attack on anyone but an effort to be fair to all sponsors,and give them their moneys worth.
Take your own advice and go ride on this public holiday,I spent 6hrs on the bike yesterday and don't think my arse could cope with anymore..lol..

 

[Dreadful]

HA when he says mods ...think he means me .

Ok Goose

Firstly I am not on mso's payroll ...nor are any of the other mods so pull ya head in on that one ay ?

SECOND
I have NO obligation to rep ANYONE just because I'm a mod

THIRD
I CHOOSE to ride with MSO ....as part of the Hood I could probably choose others but I CHOOSE MSO.....and yeah they look after me ...
but they look after everyone mate that's the point ..... and YES I'll steer crew towards them ALL DAY and no I don't think pit pro are as good .... NOT BY A LONG SHOT ...so get over it it's my opinion I'm entitled.

FOURTH
As for maylands ?
Seems like a nice enough bloke in fact if ya search his posts you'll see I actually DEFENDED HIM when he was being flamed so ya can probably pull ya head in on that one too.... but I have NO obligations to rep him ....are ya kiddin me ???
I wouldn't know him if I fell over him so NO I'm not sendin crew to him when I think MSO is a better bike ......So build a bridge bruz I aint changin

Poeple come on asking WHICH BIKE .... i give em my opinion

Why does this worry you ????

 

[cass38a]

I am not a Mod and I dont know much about the "new" reange of MSO bikes however I am a very happy customer and know that Ken and Linda from MSO back up their product and are fantastic to deal with. Also MSO are only an hour away from her where Maylands are half way across the country.

Your parents are right, ebay is where you buy a bike and find its not what you paid for and cant get any service if the thing wont start.

 

[GoosE#69]

Opinions are fine out on the street but in the confines of the site, sponsors need to be looked after,I'm not saying don't recommend anyone I'm saying be fair to everyone while in the context of the site.
Coincidentally Maylands also back up their products(yes even pitpro)and are also great to deal with.
As for Maylands being halfway across the country that is irrelevant as MSO are halfway across the country for alot of us but that doesn't stop yous from trying to sell 'em to us!
Obviously you are seeing it as a personal attack which it is not meant to be so that is a bit sad. I won't say any more I think enough has been said.

 

[Dreadful]

Well I'd still like to say a few things .....

I'll say it again I believe MSO is a better bike ..... but you think I shouldn't say it because it will offend sponsors ????

It's up to pit pro to build a rep on this site NOT ME ..... I got nothin to do with me mate mso have built a rep mon here over years of great service .... if pit pro wants the saame I suggest they get involved with site .

Besides if the SITE has an obligation it's to mayland not pitpro ... there is a difference.... but as I said this has NOTHING to do with us mods .

I'll say it again

MODS HAVE NO OBLIGATIONS TO SPONSORS ....and I think people like it that way ..... that way when people ask advice that's what they get

As for opinions being valid on the street but not in here ????

Why ???????????it's a pitbike forum...... if people ask I'm givin mine.

IF pitpro EVER have the rep MSO has in here they will have to work harder for it

as MSO has ....it has taken years .

Thier rep has been earnt here and they deserve every kind word

end of story

 

[GoosE#69]

I'm not trying to get pitpro a rep they are not sponsors of the site.Maylands and others are sponsors and thats who I was talking about but obviously the point is lost on you.
Chill out and stop trying to defend something which you say doesn't need defending and enjoy the rest of your day.
I know I will,all this banter has given me something to chuckle about for hours.

 

[Dreadful]

Yes my obligation to maylands

I hear you but I don't KNOW him or anything about him .... why should I recommend a bike that is IN MY OPINION substandard (compared to mso) from a dealer I don't know ??? ........ see THAT would seem whack too me bruz it amazes ME this lost on you .

And I don't think I should do that at all ....so I go with what I BELIEVE

And I believe mso is a better bike ....if I didn't I wouldn't say it ....

I'm not on the mso payroll niether is anyone else....

why accuse me and other mods of that????

It implies we have a secret agenda to sell mso bikes ...which is not only insulting but simply not true .....why can't you just accept most of us think mso are the best bang for ya buck ?????

That's it ...no deals ....no plans ..... no rewards .... no incentive schemes .

NOTHING ..........but great bikes and service

So yeah if I am ever on thier payroll the members in here will be the first to now ...... till then stop accusing mods of being on mso's payroll

Because frankly yes it's insulting....and just stupid ....

Yeah we're all sell outs LMAO

as for Chill out ???

LMAO even more.... I got a loop around my property and I been cuttin laps in between this all day on my new MSO that I PAID for

.... so waaay ahead of ya on the enjoy the day thing bruz....

But you have a good chuckle CHAMP.

 

[GoosE#69]

Man get over it you've way misunderstood the original intention and turned it into a huge deal over nothing.You choose the bits you want to focus on don't see the general message.
Good luck with your laps but don't be so smug your not the only one filling in this time with a ride,so you aint so far ahead as you think you are bruz...

OK LAST TIME

I don't care how you sugar coat it the suggestion is there that I'm selling my opinion to MSO .....this is a LIE ....THIS IS NOT A " little thing " to me faaaar from it .

Yeah I'll defend my name all day because my word means something.

Like I said this post of your's that I've quoted here is complete b.s ...and the only reason I've been annoyed ....

MSO built there rep here ...THEY DIDN'T BUT IT ....your above statements suggest they did ....

Lastly if you can't see why this would annoy me ....you know sayin I'm sellin my opinion for money and all

Then I've got no idea what you are on .

All good but DON'T SAY IT AGAIN

 

[GoosE#69]

I said it would seem they were on the payroll,I didn't actually say you are, geez.The way your so pro mso it would seem that way but that doesn't mean I'm saying you are.Just like it would seem I was on holdens payroll if you spoke to the right people although I'm not.
It was a figure of speech that you have taken and ran with it.
Theres no reason to go any further as I think I cant make it any clearer than that.
enough said

 

[arkark]

i think u would like the pitpro or the mso in 125 or 140 i have a pitpro150 and a atomik proxbigfoot 140 both good bikes if u like the bigfoot wit 17 front n 14inch back look at the new pitpro bigfoot model from maylands i was told by brian from maylands it will sell for 800 or 900

???????????????????????????

 

[Dreadful]

Yeah whatever ... but now you know I'm not on the MSO payroll

so while it may have seemed to you I was ....

your assumption was WRONG

Just like you ASSUMED mso and pitpro were PROBABLY made in the same factory ...WRONG AGAIN

Which is why you should think before you ASSUME

BECAUSE when you assume ...you make ASS outta U and ME .

 

[GoosE#69]

Haha..I believe the word I used was POSSIBLY not PROBABLY which have entirely different meanings unless you ASSUME that I was stating it as fact,and you already know what ASSUME means as you tried to demonstrate.

Not once did I assume anything I just put it out there and you ran with it hook,line and sinker,and I never named anyone either you ASSUMED that responsibility.lol.
haha..I'm just stuffing with ya man,you took it way out of context, but I reckon we can let it lie now aye!

 

[coolmodee01]

i'll end it right now
dready bruz this dude is like a collingwood suporter one eyed as it gets
loves his pitpro and so be it
if he is unable to understand our point of view then thats his loss
you dont need to defend yourself at all imo you bring more to this forum than goosey does and i reckon alot of people will agree with that (no offence goose but i'd like to think you would agree with that also)

i may be a little biast but i take dready's point of view on this one but thats not my intent here

goose dude every thing you said in your original post was directed directly at both me and dready weather you ment it or not. it comes back to the re-read your posts before you hit the go button thing they dont always read right and this might not either
now i understand your point of view and yes maybe we are a little leanient towards mso but that is for good reason (quality of there product and respect for ken and linda)
on that same note i have alot of time for brian he and his company are a great atribute to this site even though his input has been limited of late with the big move.
in saying that i sell my company and myself with this moto
"judge us by the company we keep"
and i dont like the company he keeps
now imo mso are very good bikes and are fast becoming a reputable brand
but i cannot and will not in my opinion and experiance say the same thing about pitpro's regardless of who sells then

i dont know where this arguement can go from here
it should be left

but before it is goose who do you buy ALL of your moto stuff from and do you put pitpro stuff back on your bike after it breaks???????
