HI,
After riding south to Paraparaumu from Napier earlier today i was out for an evening ride and my handlebar broke, while braking up to a give way sign. There's no damage to the bike (didn't drop it) other than the bar breaking as shown below. the bike is still ridable to wherever i can find assistance. (Will be heading into Wellington city tomorrow either way)

So does anyone know of somebody or have a mig oxy-acetlyene set that i could borrow to fix myself up? (or do it yourself if you prefer).?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Give me a txt or call on 027 345 321 2 or a PM, I'll be checking back online in the morning.

Many thanks in advance,

Paddy

Just had an idea. remember when Zac had that mishap down there and MSTRS got hold of TSS motorcycles (04 569 3989) A/hs Fergus-027 268 4526 or Stewart- 027 230 5458. according to John these guys are tops. Im sure they will be pleased to help.... they also advertise a pick-up service in the Welly area.....just a thought...cheers bud...hope this helps

I was just about to advise what Wasp27 said re. TSS motorcycles. If they can't sort it, no one can.

Thanks for helping S/P Skunk. You rock. I think he needs to work on the welding but he has done a few hundred K's since you got him on the road again. Just come in the drive as I type.:yes:
Thanks man
