View Full Version : Forza free test ride day, Sunday 18 September

3rd August 2011, 09:31
I am now the Waikato/ Bay of Plenty distributor for Forza motorcycles.
As these bikes are new to many people, I figured that the best way of getting them out there in time for the rapidly approaching summer is to have a Free Test Ride Day.
We have an awesome top secret MX track in Waihi- what I mean is- it recieves top maintainance from the boys with big diggers at the gold mine - but no publicity!
What Im planning is:
You guys help me pick a date over the next two months,
Ill squeeze my suppliers for some spot prizes and Ill have the BBQ on all day with free sausages.
You bring your own bikes and have a play on the track and together we can introduce your family to the range of Forza quality pitbikes, dirtbikes and quads.
Im very proud to be associated with this brand. they are incredible value for money.
Imagine putting your whole family on brand a new bike each for around $7000 total!
link to photos prices video specs of all Forza moto models (http://www.overthetopadventures.co.nz/forza-dirtbikes-and-quads/)
The range is extensive and they use very high quality components. The Auckland importer has been in business since 2008 and has all parts in stock. We have a great relationship and together we can offer a full 6 month industry standard warranty on all bikes sold.

They would make a good little road/trail bike. The headlight is E stamped and has dip.
with a horn, indicators and a taillight you would be away. I have to talk with the mporter and see what paperwork there is with them.

That's great. Our 2 are doing great, I see they've removed the electric starts on the 70's. Good Idea as both of ours have been a little unreliable and electric start while handy is not really needed. One other thing I did was sleeve the 11mm swing arm pivot hole to get rid of the slop as the bolt is only 10mm. Hopefully they've fixed this (doesn't show up until you get a few hours on them). Ours have been excellent value for money.

Nice to hear!- I will pick up the bikes tomorrow from the wholesaler and PD check them. glad you told me about that issue. I will measure up the current model and see how it looks. I have a length of stanless tube that is 10mm inside 12mm outside. I can turn it down and fit it from new if needed.

All the best, mate! I think I'll hold off a bit myself yet as regards the importing. I'll need a bit more time and money to do it properly and my current business is keeping me very occupied. Maybe in another year, I'll look at it again.

If you look at the picture of the track again -you will see that the bottom 1/2 of the track can be divided off into a seperate track. it is manly flat -but good for kids on small bikes. it does have a double jump in the straight.
Ive not had a lot of input with the date of this so Im going to narrow it down to
next month. Sunday Sepember 11,18 or 25th get choosing guys.

It is members only- join and get a key then you can go whenever you wish.
$10.00 to the club if you ride on the 18th.

But we do not need to be a member to ride on the 18th. Correct?

Im not big on MX at all- chasing each other around in a perpetual cloud of dust while other riders appear from nowhere to take you out and run you down.....
Ive never been there when it rains. Ill postpone on here at 7.00 am on the day if i have to

Well today I had 4 people contact me and ask about the weather for Sunday:facepalm:
I have full control of where the portaloo will be sited and the carpark attendants white coats.
But the weather I have left up to that nice lady on TV3, Sacha someone or other.
Its spring time, I can guarantee that it will not be raining all day or even sunny all day.
Personally I don't care - Ive got 8 brand new bikes here that I want you all to come and ride and then tell me what you think.
There will be some fun some spills, food and drink and some spot prizes.
If someone said " hey Ive got 8 brand new dirtbikes that I want you to ride on sunday" - I would be there...

The Forza bike range gets its first independant review - from a zombie appocolypse mercinary and stunt rider! Nic Nuke Scott.
http://nzblokes.co.nz/forza-bikes-review/
I’m 6’3 and 113kgs and I asked if I would break it sitting on the 140cc pit bike.
Stu said give it hell. Taking him rather literally I fanged off through the paddock and was amazed at the power that little motor had. Dragging my ass around the paddock
it felt solid and I wasnt at all worried about breaking anything.
The suspension was nice n plush (we had a play with some knobs) and it worked great, not to mention this thing sure looks the part if your’e into your bling

Yerp that was I. We have just had the most awesome day.
OK ... it did hail twice, but dozens of kids and a fair few adults got a start in dirtbiking today I hope.
All 8 bikes were ridden constantly for 6 hours straight and I did not even get my camera out - I was flat out all day with my 4 helpers getting everyone into helmets and boots and answering all the questions that people had.
8 Chinese bikes ridden constantly for 6 hours and only one bolt came loose. that has to be a record!
