Recusant Infidel
Outstanding Service!
After years of drooling, I finally made the ride to Motoport. What finally pushed me over the edge (besides knowing that I wanted gear that would provide actual protection in a get-off, especially since my current name-brand pants were coming apart at the seams) was their holiday special: FREE wind proof/water proof liner pants with purchase of Kevlar riding pants. I'm always up for $99 savings.
The Review: Wayne was polite and professional**, asking if I had an idea of which product I wanted; explaining the differences between the two types of Kevlar material; reviewing the measurements that I had taken with me; supplying a pair of "off the rack" for me to try on - first without the armor and then with the armor inserted; accompanied me out to my bike so I could mount up and check the fit "in position"; noting where the knee/shin armor would need to be re-positioned & re-sewn, and pointing out the overall length.
He offered to let me take them for a ride; to make the adjustment in the knee armor while I waited so that I could buy them and ride them home.
In the end, I opted to have them build me a pair with longer legs - and we reviewed all the various options that were or could be included. AND Wayne offered to measure me for a jacket, and he'll keep the numbers on file for when I'm ready to order. I'm glad he did the measuring!
Then, he asked if I'd like a tour of the facility. Sure!
Altogether, Wayne spent nearly an hour and a half with me and I could not be more pleased with his service. (And his product is pretty great, too.)

**As it turns out, making an appointment is customary (just call), but I didn't know this. So Wayne was kind enough to juggle his busy Monday morning and made me feel like I was his only customer.
