Shopping in Hong Kong - Part I

My work takes me to Hong Kong this month. Out of the 8 days that I should, I got 3 days to spare because I really work that fast. Hehehe... so what else to do in Hong Kong if you've settle up all your stuff? Shopping! - Mat


Before getting here, I did some homework on locating some bikes shop in Hong Kong. This is Ah Lam Cycle shop. They have two shop each very near to each other. Located at Pak Po Street Mong Kok area, they carry my favourite brand, the RS-Tachi. I couldn't snap photo inside the shop as it is not allowed by the owner. These guys aren't really friendly. Price wise, it is much cheaper than what I can get back home. But I ain't interested on anything now, except if they got the new Arai RX7 RR5 2008 model and the new RS-Taichi 1 piece air bag leather suit. But just as I thought, it is still that new to be available in the maket now.


Still at Ah Lam store, other than Rs-Taichi gears, Ah Lam is the authorized distributors for Aprilia bikes, from the looks of it.


Honda CB parked at the side. Seen few superbike on the road but too fast for me to snap them and show it to you guys.


This is Motomart. Komine, Dainese, Soumy, Alpinestars, AXO, Airoh, OGK, Arai, Shoei are the few brands they carries. The store is quite big too, one of the best to shop in Hong Kong. There is no MTR a.k.a LRT a.ka. MRT a.k.a tube (that should be easy enough to guess what MTR means) to get here, the only way is via a cab as just as what we did, and bus of course if you're very good getting through Kowloon. Locate at Ha Huang Road, west side of Kowloon. They guys here are a different story, they are very friendly and helpfull though out the process of purchasing.


I snap a few photo inside the shop before the lady doesn't allow me to do so again.


That's me with the cam, have to find a mirror to snap myself otherwise I have to chance on getting my pics on this blog. :P


AXO, Elf, Soumy, and Dainese are brands I remember they having on the shoes and boots. Really tempted to get some...


Damn nice helmet. But don;t think it's for sell thou.


Poji crunching up the numbers... The Shoei's Vermeulen is the target. Yeap! It is much cheaper than here.


10% more discount on the glove when you get a helmet, as what they say. So Poji have rows of gloves to try on, multiply by 3 more cabinets. Patiently them salesman entertaint Poji.


Don't know what in their head, either shops too much or it's one worth going places in Hong Kong.


Not just bikes got a wow factor on us. Hey... it's 3.29am here. Think I'll go to bed and review up what i've typed in this blog later on. I'm too tired and it'll be an early morning for me in couple of hours. To be continued....
