where can I buy herne genkie?

[Itchy]

This brand (hein gernkie )seems to be highly rated by many bikers and many people on these forums , my question is where can you buy their stuff? , none of the local bike shops seem to sell anything of theirs , and their website tricks you into thinking it works online and you can buy stuff then tells you a coming soon notice over the screen , anybody know where I can buy somewhere near or around Manchester?

Thanks

Aye, they could really do with rebranding themselves. Google on any of the various possible ways of misspelling the company name and you come up with hundreds of hits. Makes finding the website very difficult.

I only noticed about a month ago a Hein Gericke shop in Plymouth. And I been living here for years! Its just in a place that has never really had decent shops before. Might have to make a trip there when the RG is on the road.

Cool! I went for an interview with Hein Gericke in Aintree ages ago just before it opened!

[Clanger]

red black and white signage...very striking
they do do a catalogue but their p&p is VERY expensive!

The guys at kenton are sound guys. I got me a 3 quid discount on my brand new gloves yesterday. During their sales, you will get PLENTY of decent bargains like half price lids, suits and the like.

Did'nt realise there was a bloke actually called Hein Gerike until I saw a small article on him in BIKE this month Opened up a store down my way recently and they were pretty helpful when I went in there.

[NSR125-Kid-UK]

They told me when I bought my gloves and back protector that I should really waterproof my gloves (Alpinestars GP-Pro) and they showed me how to use a new bottle of leather waterproofer - I cheekily said "can you throw that in?" and they sorta looked at each other and went "ummm, yeah okay"
I've still got it sitting about somewhere .

Popped into the manchester branch yesterday, they had a delivery in but unfortunatley not their own brand luggage which I whent down for last week and told me should be in for friday last week. Aprently they'll have another big delivery this friday.

It's probally not as nice an area as the new road, but it seems safe enough in the day. I've walked up there a few times from victoria when I've been bikeless and was after some gear.

Wouldn't want to be out round there late at night though

I'd say it's located halfway between strangeways at the city centre end and mcDonalds at the other end.

Btw, the Hein Gericke at Kenton got robbed of about a couple of grandsworths of goods on bank holiday. Purpetrators, 6 black riders on Gixxers and R1's who came into the store, trying out all the goods i.e. alpinestars race suits and Arai's that weren't secured by the security tag and went out the store with it. The guy tried to chase them and this dude was trying to hustle his "stolen & unisured R1" into a U turn and nearly fell off.

Anyhoo, they sped off down the M1 on the way to bump another HG branch at Luton, only to discover one of the bastards had been involved in a fatal accident. Police who were in pursuit then filled the guys at HG with the gory details. Ironically, had he been wearing his stolen arai, it would have probably saved his head. The other guys were filming his bredrin dying as his lid split open fracturing his head.

This is what the store clerk was telling me. Any of you guys heard of anything of this sort happening in local circles?

I've been offered opportunities to work at the kenton branch during holidays, but i've never heard from them following through. Still though, they're top notch guys.

you haven't seen tiny till you've seen The Thacker family's Speedwells (Radcliffe metro station just to the side of the ramp)
they have a shop the size of my living room and yet manage to cram in lots of bikes and a good selection of gear , they are fairly good blokes.

the Manchester HG is quite large

I work in Hern Genkie. It is very similar to Hein Gericke yet with a touch of retard. We sell one and two piece suits made out of a Hern Genkie trade mark fabric (being silk, so smooth on the skin yet so kind to the road)

Visit us for our wide selection of :

Gloves, fingerless gloves for added 'Genkie Style'

Helmets, wide selection of trademark 'Genkie Glass' helmets made purely out of glass for that real '360' degree view.

Need your motorbike serviced? Come in and we will give it the Genkie once over. Our 9 foot Norwegian 'mechanic', who has a wang two feet bigger and wider than his height, will personally stick it in your end can and clean out your pipes.

Just call 0800-HERN-GENKIE for our wide range or services.
