Hello guys, Bart Enders dad here.
Firstly, thanks for the offer of a free set of bars. An offer we won't be taking up, but thanks anyway.
My son is only 13 and a keen scooter rider. Being here in Tasmania, the kids are not as spoilt as you guys on the mainland with choice, so they go by what they hear on the various websites. So please don't start attacking him for posting what he read somewhere else. He didn't post the first negative thought that came into his head at all. And as it turns out, there was truth in his post anyway.
Regarding my "Buy Astralian" comments, and your reply. For you to say "..And yes im all for supporting Australian made, but the scooter you ride, your shoes, your clothes, the computer your writing on, the seat your sitting on and just about everything you see around you... guess where thats made." is a disgrace, and why everything you are doing is wrong. Your say your for supporting Australian made, yet you go overseas to get your own products made on the cheap in Taiwan ? How hypocritcal is that ? Then there is the quality issue. You can say until your face turns blue, that the imported bars and other products you are bringing in are as good as and of similar quality as an Australian product. But I would stake a weeks wages that if the two were put side by side and tested by some independent testers, there would be no comparison. In the business I'm in myself, we have been down this road a hundred times over the years, and every time, every time, we have ended up using home grown products. They are nearly always more expensive, I admit. But I am 100% sure, my business would not be where it is today if we had chosen the cheap inferior product route you have taken. In this world, rightly or wrongly, you do get what you pay for I'm affraid.
Anyway, please be patient with some of the younger kids on here. Just because they may not be as knowledgable and up with the latest fads, they do not warrent comments like "..Use them don't use them couldn't careless...". Which as far as I'm concerned will only loose you customers, not encourage them.
Cheers
Trevor
