there crap

i went to 3 amigos about 6 months back, just looking at a ATV 125 cc and really the guy just wanted me buy the top of the range $1600 plus.
when all i wanted was the $800 ATV.
from what i have heard the motors blow up just 30 mins ridding and bits just fall off.
dont go there!!!

two wheels - perth--- desperate to make money, don't care about customers. Not unlike the old Warwick's Wheels-who go shut down.

Been taking my bike to Braaap in Launceston for services and tune for over a year, now they tell me cos its not a genuine Braaap bike that they cant service it and the rule has been in place since day one...wtf?!? my moneys the same, and what annoyed me more is after they told me that the last service was nearly double what i paid the time before...

first up, samual, there is no way known any pitty motor will keep with an 80cc two stroke mx bike...dual overhead cam, nitrous whatever, a 140 zongshen wont touch a jap mx 80 for straight line acceleration or outright horsepower.... 80cc mx pump out around 24 + horsepower... 140 put out what, about 12 if you are lucky??
second, yeah, three amigos is a "great" place to shop... "quality" products, "brilliant" aftersales service, and a "formidable" spare parts backup...
mind you they do sell a nice tent...
ps: if you didnt notice, i was being "sarcastic"...........

You are right on the money there........ the guy who runs it (FAT GUTS) ripped off customers and even his mechanic and pocketed the rest.... he owes his staff 40,000 bucks in total, hense he is selling it... piece of shyte.....

Its all good to bag a shop, But even better when you have proof!
