Sumoto - Post your horror stories here!

Post by PinkBike »

Let's have some "sharing time". :wink: (Though let's not share too much, eh Neka? :P)

Anyone ever purchased from Sumoto?

I've heard bad things. Please share your experiences!

Do we have any *happy* buyers?

Sumoto is a place in Vic that sells bikes interstate.

They have a huge ad in certain motorbike mags and they claim to send bikes interstate and give you a free helmet, gloves, kitchen sink, etc.

Never heard of it. They sell no kwakas ? That will explain the horror story then.

There are PLENTY of horror stories about a certian 250cc specialist shop in North Melbourne, you want a recommendation, I recommend avoid like the plague :)

and so we don't get threatened with slander, can we keep the rumours and hearsay out of the thread...
If you have a horror story, I suggest you PM it to the thread originator...

Ooops! :oops: Yes, that's a good idea.

There's no slandering going on here whatsoever. Just advice :)

You suck on one penis shaped straw and your branded for life... :roll:

I was practicing for P.I. when I catch up with Stace ok...
I know the straw is much bigger but that was the smallest one I could find... :shock:

I put a nut and bolt in it later...

Although there was smaller one there, but Red Dave had that one all to himself..

I think this has gone a little of topic..
