About Us
Third Gear was started in 2010 with one simple goal in mind; provide top quality motorcycle parts and accessories at a competitive price while offering awesome customer service.
It all began when I bought my first motorcycle and I started shopping around for some luggage. I visited numerous retail stores in Melbourne and searched online but didn’t have much luck finding what I wanted at the right price.
After a fair bit of research and many emails to manufacturers I settled on a design that I thought was perfect for my purposes. I ordered 50 motorcycle tank bags and they sold out in the first two weeks. My business was born.
Over the next two years I ran the business part time while slowly building up more inventory from every single dollar of profit. During the day I would go to work and as soon as I got home I would get online and work into the wee hours of the night plugging away on the keyboard or reading business related articles online.
Over the years I expanded the range to over 2000 products and at every opportunity I am always looking to add more value to the business. Currently I run this company as a solor venture from a regional warehouse located in the Macedon Ranges in Victoria.
If you have bought from me before – thanks! If not, go on and give my shop a try as I’m confident you’ll be happy with the products and service I provide. If not, that is OK, I am here to help!
