I can't speak for the Manawatu region (can't see coz of a god damn mountain range in the way dammit!) but it's not to bad a day down this way.

[BigG]

Well I didnt get to Manfeild so I hope you post us some Photo's Steve cos we are waiting to hear how Paddy got on. Janet tried to txt him but we got no answer.
We had to send Lee Home cos it wasn't rite for him to ride with this tyre.:spanking:

[MSTRS]

Just heard from Paddy. Won't steal his thunder, but he has reason to be pleased....
Good ride today. No cobwebs left in the intakes....

[BigG]

Some photo's of our little tootle down to Team Cudby's for a nice cup of tea,
then a blast down the drag strip eh John and John.:woohoo::woohoo:

[yungatart]

Nice ride! Good to see you back Dave, glad you weren't scared off last week:innocent:. Nice to meet you too, John.
Was a much slower ride than last week (apparently)!
Slow is nice... get to work on my lines and smoothness.

[team cudby]

hi .it was good to see you all on your ride today.Hopefully join you on the mighty 750 soon

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Hi All,
I note Patrick has not posted yet so I will. We had a great day down in Fielding.
First things first. Thanks to the sponsors for all you have done for him. He would have struggled to get out on the track with out your support. You guys rock. And to Wasp27 for the steel, sticky bits and welding wire and info. You saved the day.

OK Speights_bud went down yesterday and stayed with friends. We missed the qualifying runs as we had work this morning. We arrived about 11.00 am to find he qualified 9th. Had problems with the gear changer. He fixed that by the time he went out for the first race. After a restart because of a dismount, not Paddy, he was impressive to watch. That poor little bike just gets up and goes. A commendable 3rd in the first race.

We had a look over the bike and after a chain adjustment and check over things we filled in a few hours till lunch. The street stocks were first up after lunch. Out they went. I would have to complement Gareth ( can't recall the name of the business, Tart you would know as he did your bike ) for the job he did on the exhaust on this bike. It has a unique sound and it is sweet under full noise. A warm up lap and on to the grid. Away they went. A bit of a squeeze down the end of the first straight and they dropped in to line. Paddy was running 6th as they went in to the third corner and looked a little uneasy. By the time he came around to the start finish he was back on the ball and smooth as. He made up three places and ended the race in third place.

So two third placing = third in class for the day

Was great to see one of our own doing so well. Congratulations young fella. Considering you have never raced anything other than a bucket you had a very successful day. I would like to add a note here. He wore the knee of the leather out holding the bike up in the corners. I think Knee sliders will be a good investment next month. Maybe middle road has been good for you Speights_bud.

Time for sleep for this old man. Roll on next months round.

[speights_bud]

Cheers for filling everyone in Gixxer,
Twas a awesome day alright, the gpx definatly stunned quite a few people,
comments such as "GPX's are NOT meant to go like that" weren't unfamiliar.

But i must say that without the support from you guys (esp wasp27) i probably wouldn't have made it to round 4 ontime.

So he's my brief rundown on the day.

Missed the scrub in session, still unloading bike etc from van and doing rider registration stuff.

Qualifying:
Having missed the srub in session and being a complete manfield 'virgin' as such qualifying was my first chance to try learn the track. Did first lap under yellow as warm up, then second lap was held up through 'splash' by a slower rider before he was blue flagged and had to give me right of way, at which i completed my first and fastest lap for the session, due to the next lap being messed around with a black flag waved and noone understanding why, so everyone pulled off the track (Black was for two riders who were not meant to be circulating at the time)
Qualifying therefore left me with a laptime around 2 min 52 sec from memory and sitting in 9th position on the grid. (My fastest lap for the day was 2min 28, a whopping 24 sec's faster than qualifying)

However as Gixxer 4 ever said, in Race one there were several bikes down and i managed to poke my way up the pack a bit and finish third, six places ahead of where i started. so pretty happy considering that before starting the race i'd only done 3 laps of the track.

During race two i also managed a much better start and holding the inside line got towards the front of the pack through turn one and battled it out with one or two others, my only real advantage being going late on the brakes and riding the bike hard over on my knee.
This was a new experience for me, although 'getting my knee down' isn't all that new, actually using it to push the bike back up and transfering the weight to control the front end tucking in having an actual effect on how the bike stays upright was quite exciting, definatly going to have to sort some knee sliders out. Needless to say my leathers now need re-stitching and some patches on the knees.
Race 2 resulted in another third place. (Took out 3rd pos overall for streetstock)

So all in all a great day out, looking forward to next month and the oppourtunity to ride Team Cudby's 600 over the two day event.

Big thanks to everyone who has helped me get started Esp my sponsors:
EVL Custom systems -Exhaust system
ISG Signs -Decals/numbers
We-Can Engineering -Use of workshop


Hope to see you all on sat for the next ride if i've converted to ninja back to road legal by then :D:D

[yungatart]

Bloody marvellous Speights_bud!!!!
You rock!
Who woulda thought the GPX could do that!
We're proud to do our little bit to help you out!

[Stickchick]

Congratulations Speights_bud!!!! I am rapted to hear how well you did. I'm now guttered I didn;t make it up there for a look see too. I will make a point of being there next month, hopefully it isn't the weekend of the 21st Sept.

[BigG]

Na Budy Boy any bike will go like that. Give yourself credit you got the balls to push it, so you will do well, get yourself organised, get a few race's under your belt, show that you can do it and you never no who might be watching, right bike right rider and who know's:first:

[robertydog]

Well done speights_bud. Its always a buzz when you do your first race meeting. (oh the memories ) Fine effort to the guys that helped you out. That makes a world of difference. If Sticky is right with the date of the 21st Sept, i should be able to come and see how you get on.

[robertydog]

Speaking of meetings. Rappa sprints are on the 30th September for those that want to give their bikes a run. Just south of Carterton. Legal to go fast on public roads.......

Yep I am, its a two day event over the 22nd - 23rd Sept which I'm visiting my Cousin in Auckland as she still hasn;t gotten over her carjacking and I'm alittle worried about her so unfortunately I won;t be changing my plans. So hopefully Speights_bud, you are racing in Taupo in October

I was thinking of going down to give Deano a hand with things...Mind if you ride with a learner?

[robertydog]

Get back to you on that. Unsure what we are gonna do, but it is looking like we may go down on the Saturday due to the early start for competetors.

[Colapop]

What a great bunch (again!!) Well I went for a little pootle out with Stickychick, Yungatart and MSTRS. Not too far but fun nonetheless.

I RODE MSTRS's GSXR750!! A sweet ride that is. It's not the RF... but it'll do I suppose... in a pinch....

And now having a little country hospitality... Team Cudby's for real meat food!

[DeltaBravo]

Thanks Guys & Gals for the ride & hospitality on saturday once again. I 'm sure Johno

However the following one looks good.
Cheers
Dave B

[robertydog]

Took a run down to patangata, waipawa. waipuk. onga onga and up HW50 today. Roads are in good nick at the moment, apart for some work being done at a creek not far past the patangata pub. Appears they are putting a large pipe under the road.
Bike is going well after Gixxer said stick close to me last week.

Looks like the weather is good for Tuesday so if any one is free for a run just PM me.

[canarlee]

[robertydog]

Must admit was funny not having KB for a couple of days. Have noticed a few posts missing in this thread. But at least most of it is there.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Yea I noticed that. Maybe it was Zukin that crashed K/B with all the talk of the fat, the fat cont, the fat cont, the fat controller . :lol:

[Hitcher]

Hmmm. Weekend. Riding.

[MSTRS]

Hmmm. Weekend. Riding.

Ooooh yes. We've ordered in some good weather, the roads are dry and clean, and there's a partay on Sat night. Heaven.

[Stickchick]

Party 2 sleeps to go.hope you guys/girls bring your bikes so we can go for a ride on sunday.Are you coming up Colapop we can have fun

Unfortunately my Nana is in hospital so I will be heading straight home on Sunday as I won't be visiting tomorrow as I have too much to do. Its nothing too major, just a skin Graft but I have to visit since I'm the only grandchild here. We are hoping that they leave her in till Monday as Grandad is not well either and Nana needs complete bed rest for ten days but if they let her out early then I may have to go and help out at their house, which may change my plans for tomorrow too. Will keep ya posted. If I can't get down to tiko before dark is someone able to pick me and my bike up?

[MSTRS]

Sticky - we won't leave you and your pink bits bereft of company...

[robertydog]

Yea I noticed that. Maybe it was Zukin that crashed K/B with all the talk of the fat, the fat cont, the fat cont, the fat controller . :lol:

Hey Zukin, i reckon it would be blast if you posted the fat, the fat cont, the fat cont, the fat controller again. Please.......

[Stickchick]

Hey Everyone, for the newbies, we are currently keeping everyones details like phone numbers, addresses, email addresses and ICE contacts (if you wish to provide these details) in a database that only Gixxer 4 Ever and I have access to. So if you wish to provide us with your details then we can keep you in touch with anything that is going on outside of KB or even when it goes down we can still organise a ride (Not saying it will happen again though). The choice is yours so if you wish to then please pm me and I will put these details in the Handy Dandy Notebook/Database.

[Stickchick]

Also on another thought, Did we want to organise a KB bash here? Or are you guys going to go to either Welly or Auckland or neither?

[yungatart]

Also on another thought, Did we want to organise a KB bash here? Or are you guys going to go to either Welly or Auckland or neither?

We can't afford the trip to Aucks or Welly with everything else sucking our $$$ up faster than we can earn them, so I reckon a KB birthday bash here is a goer.
Dinner and drinkies...Breakers? Brewshack? Mongolian Wok?
What do the rest of you think?

[team cudby]

one more sleep to go for the party.we have got bed for those who needs a bed

[Stickchick]

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Sorry you guys but we can't make it. With Church cows Heifers Hay feeding and ewes lambing it is a bit busy to say the least. I hope to catch up with you in Fielding next month. Or did I hear you say you are going to ride with us Mike? Now that would be good........

[Stickchick]

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Hi ppl.
Change of plans for Mary and I. Due to my work we need to be home around 2 -2.30. So we are going to ride early and head to Patangata for lunch. Then home. So if you want to join us great but if you have planned to ride at 1.30 best you do that. Sorry to miss the H/B ride but 1.30 just doesn't give us time to get the brake feeding set for the cows tomorrow or check the Heifers etc before dark or church. So we will leave here at 11.00. Fuel in Bay View at 11.15. If you see this W&D and want to come along we will pass your place at 11.30ish. If you want to come we will try and go passed the airport at 11.30. As long as we do not get held up at the BP Bay View. just join in if you want. Cheers :banana:

Yep he is cool. He is in Taupo this weekend. Not riding at the moment as he has broken ribs from a work accident about 3 weeks ago. He will be back with us soon. Thanks Lee I will pass this on to him.

how does that favourite KB saying go?


oh yeah, HTFU!:bleh:

[yungatart]

Well, while you guys headed off to parts unknown at a somewhat faster pace than I would be comfortable, Sc and I went riding with Micro as our mentor.
Headed off to do the nice twisties out on the Taihape road, only to find cyclists by the mile. Change of plan and off down Swamp Rd instead, with Micro stopping us occasionally to offer advice. Unfortunately the cyclists were on all the roads we were on, but they were mostly considerate, so all was good.
We met up with the fast boys at ths Puketapu pub for a drink, nice to see you Grumpy! Your wee girl is beautiful, BTW. Thanks also for your support for hXc and Mack.
We then headed back to our place to grab some clothes, food and bevvies to take down to Team Cuby's place...what a ride...drama after drama! I will say no more on that tho:innocent:
Eventually, Micro and I headed off alone in the dark for my first night ride.
Thanks so much for riding with me Chris, and for keeping such a steady pace. I enjoyed it heaps, apart from freezing my tits off!..or was that my hair!! Was fantastic!
Today we headed off home up HW50..the weather is just so superb for riding, and had a wonderful weekend of riding!
Bring on summer!!!

[robertydog]

No more No more. I had to work all weekend:no:

[MSTRS]

[Stickchick]

This whole weekend for me has been awesome except for the dramas, Sorry guys....Looks like my Pink Bits may be going to a new home so watch this space.

I thoroughly enjoyed the mentor ride with Tart and Micro and the roadside jokes and light heartedness, and after last weekend my ride yesterday couldn't have felt more comfortable. Tart, still lovin the new do you are awesome to actually go through with it.

Team Cudby thanks for picking me up, really appreciated it even when I pulled you away from your own do.

[Hitcher]

When we were in the drizzle at Woodville yesterday, the blue sky up the Bay way looked attractive! But it was pretty darned good further south.

only one hour more and you would have been here too. (well that is a "spirited" hour anyway)


you missed an awesome party and you could of had a bed for the night too!

[Gixxer 4 ever]

bugger, i only just saw this!

oh well catch you next week aye!


jan has broken ribs? ouch! tell him i said hello will ya mate!

I told him you were asking after him. Thanks for that. He was here for dinner last night and is on the mend. Maybe riding in another week. Maybe 2

The trip to Tarawera was great. That road rocks. Open sweeping corners that allow you to lean and roll on the gas with out a care in the world. WooooHooooo. The young fella had a ball. What a grin. It was a bit disappointing to be the only sports bike in the car park.:gob: But we got over it. Had some fun with the bacon on the road. Long story but they were sitting on the hill videoing cars and collecting tax for crossing the white line. Unbelievable. I won't say what I think of this policing................. Wankers.

Anyway was great to catch up yesterday W. Short but nice ride aye. Did I mention how nice the road was?
Cheers all. Have a great week. I won't be out next weekend so have a great ride. Hope to get back to the weekend rides after that.

Bring on the summer. That was one sweet ride yesterday. :love:

[DeltaBravo]

Gunna change your name to PoorBastard :dodge:
Sounds like you all had a great weekend, the sun was shinning thru the windows at work
I know what I would rather have been doing. However not found a better way to keep the Bank Manager at bay. Managed an hour ride after work on Sunday late afternoon.
A family function this Saturday, but if anyone going for a ride on Sunday, would be keen to join.

I agree, wont post my little excursion on here for obvious reasons. there were several cops out allright.

I would have passed you all on my way back from taupo but felt it safer to head back to town via another route. successfully arrived at MSTRS's and Tart's place about ten minutes after you were dues to leave for yours.

Until next time.

Small ride today to bottom of the elbow. Coming back there were 4 HP between Bayveiw and the Weshore turn off.

Off to the Mount this Thursday and Friday. Bike goes into GP Motorcycles for some tweaking. Hope the weather is a lot better as i need a good ride.

Like it needs it. :gob: It is one nice bike and it is nice to see you doing the bits to get it on top of the game. You will have good weather so have a blast and look forward to seeing and hearing it back in the Bay. Go that man. :yes:

Oh you guys have me in fits of laughter.:clap:
But its the Rappa sprints im getting the medication for:whistle:
Would be happy to see it get to around the 290-300 clicks. So that is on the 30th September, but i have to get these things done as time will disappear pretty quickly.:crazy:

[Stickchick]

Well Guys due to having soooo many problems with my pink bits and the last straw being them smoking on the side of State Highway 50 on Saturday then team cudby telling me I was very lucky they didn't go up in flames:mad:, I have sold her to a loving owner:2thumbsup. On the plus side though I have just brought the EL!!!! Yay!!!!! :banana: Now I will definitely have a reliable bike that I can just ride with instead of being cautious about every knock etc. Thanks to Team Cudby and Col for the all the work they put into my baby:grouphug:. She is obviously in need of a complete overhaul and I'm sure that one day she will be put to good use. Just unfortunately it won't be by me. Also the good thing is I showed a pic of my bike to Ma and she reckons it looks like Knight rider...She is soo cute :hug: So i even have my ma's approval too:2thumbsup

Thanks to Tart and Mstrs for having patience with me also since I have been mucking them around a fair bit:hug:

NOW LETS GO RIDING!!!!!!

[NZsarge]

Congratulations on the new ride SC, enjoy.:niceone:

[MSTRS]

NOW LETS GO RIDING!!!!!!

Wot? Now? Heard of work?

[Stickchick]

Unfortunately I won;t be there on the this Satruday or next as I have darts which I can;t get out of this time.

Anyone keen for Sunday?

[MSTRS]

You need to ask?
I believe that Sunhuntin will be here on Saturday and we will need to escort her off the premises on Sunday...

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Yea man. You would be around 280-290 standard wouldn't it?
Wish I could come and watch but work and all. Good luck and the 300 clicks would be in your range I am sure. :drool:

[Stickchick]

I'm not allowed to ride this weekend. Just been to the doc and they have given me some dozy drugs for my neck and two days off. Hope you all have a great weekend

[MSTRS]

:spanking: have a big glass of htfu :apint: We'll make a m/psyclist of you yet....

[Stickchick]

:spanking: have a big glass of htfu :apint: We'll make a m/psyclist of you yet....

As much as I know you are taking the piss out of me, I have two vertabrae in my neck out of alignment and can't move my neck. If its not better by monday I have to go back for an xray. Trust me it ain;t pleasant:nono:

[Colapop]

Oooo that don't sound good!

I'm so gutted that the VT died!! All that effort - up in smoke. I hope it wasn't something I did :o Anyway I hope the EL gives you many months of good service... I slink away back under my rock now...

[yungatart]

No need for slinking away, Col. What you did for SC was an awesome gift.
You should be proud of yourself!

[Stickchick]

COL!!!!! Please don;t think that the VT doing what it did had anything to do with you!!! You did the most amazing thing for me and that was to get me a registered and warranted bike. Ok so there were things that were wrong with it but it definitely wouldn;t have had anything to do with what you had done for me. The bike was crap before I gave it to you and I was aware it was a mission to have it completely finished.

As Tart says you should be very proud of yourself!!!

[robertydog]

I hear you went to the :doctor:......and he said "That ringing in your ears isn't Tinitis my boy.....'THATS GIXXER'...I think I'll prescribe a little tweakin" :killingme

And tweak he did, and he found another 10 ponies in there.:clap::clap::gob:

[BigG]

Hello I'm back on line, my computer kept telling me this site was still off line.
So here are some pics from last weeks ride,
Looks like you guys have been haveing some fun.
Hey Rob if you bin with us on Sat u mite have got up to nearly the 300:gob:

[Gixxer 4 ever]

And tweak he did, and he found another 10 ponies in there.:clap::clap::gob:

How many ponies you got in that rocket? Any idea what the weight of the bike is?
Did they remap the fuel and balance the air intakes? What else?
All you need now are Carbon rims and you will be looking at 320 plus.
Nice to see people doing this sort of stuff. Gota love pushing the boundaries.

Good luck with the speed runs. You might have to go out and get some practise in. Maybe back to the faster groups for a few weeks :) Good stuff Rob. What date is the drags and where? Might try and get away for a day and have a look.

[Stickchick]

Is anyone going to the Moto TT Trackday in Taupo tomorrow? If so is there any chance I can get a lift, unfortuantely I can't go by bike which really sucks.

[BigG]

And tweak he did, and he found another 10 ponies in there.:clap::clap::gob: Stop stuffing around Rob, Shove a turbo on it and we won't see you for dust:banana: or smoke.
A guy I played golf with his mrs had a turbo charged R1 in the UK he says he would never get on it with her riding.:sweatdrop

Na just a hi flow air filter and powercommander, remaped the fuel/air to the pipes and filter. Huge difference at this stage and i havent even looked at giving it a heave. One thing i have noticed is i arnt pulling as many revs at 100kmph. Probably dropped about 300rpm.

Not to mention the tyre wear you are going to have. you will need to work on Sunday so you can pay for the Saturday rides :laugh:

[speights_bud]

It's the late braking/corner entry that does it for me, see the braking marker, wait a sec, then hang on tight & don't brake too much, then flip flop it in. The gpx does about nothing else, i know no different...:woohoo:

:eek: I will get Tart to :spanking: you for being cheeky to your elders young man. Bloody pups these days. :laugh:

Aren't you big enough to do your own dirty work yet, G4E? Sheesh, I don't know!
Just watching the last few posts on here, re cornering..gosh, I'd be happy if I could carry half the speed you guys can in the corners!
When Mstrs pulled over on the ride on Sat it was so i could tuck in behind him and get some mentoring for the twisties re gear changes etc. Turns out I am in the right gear, but change down too soon, then the speed creeps up and then I have to brake (well, I feel I have to brake). So coming home, I was all on my own and practiced what he had shown me..man, it is hard to overcome bad habits!!
But I had a blast and managed to override the desire to change down too soon.... for most corners anyway! But I will never be able to keep up with you guys!

[MSTRS]

Yea my days off are Tuesday to Friday so if the weathers good im off.

I'm reliably informed the weather will pack up tonight and won't come right until the wee hours of Saturday.:devil2: Enjoy your days off, boys.:bye:

I think they have a new engine for the R1. It could be in for the next race. They are struggling with the Duke and it's power but that's par for the course. That has happened before.

I see no reason Chicky shouldn't like Stoner. But then again he is an OZY. But he is very good. Almost good enough to be a Kiwi.

I wonder if i can get to Waiora and back before it rains tomorrow.

No been to Waiora today. Hell it was exciting. Apart from the turkeys, sheep, lambs, goats there were 3 boys in blue this side of waiora taking photos of a car that looked like it had been hit by a train, as it was smashed up and lying besides the track just down from a crossing.
Then got to town and had a pie and a drink and sat in the sun. Went to hop on the bike and the boys in blue show up. They go over to this shifty bloke and he tries to do a runner. Soooo you guessed it he got the bash and hand cuffed. :Playnice:Got thrown in the back of the car. Then he decided im gonna kick ths car. Soooo you guessed it, out comes the spray. :2thumbsup While hes in the car. So before the boys in blue could get in the car they had to wind the windows down to vent it.
So on my way home i take it easy as im not sure if the boys in blue are still on the side of the road. Noooooooooooooo they arnt. So im off. Untill i get close to the elbow and you guessed it. HP. Bugger. Hit the picks. No worries, appeared that he was looking for something. Got down the road a bit more and theres another HP. Lights flashing but no one to be seen. He wasnt in the car. Maybe down the bank. So you guessed it. Im off and up the elbow.
Great ride and the bike is on song:lol:

[canarlee]

[MSTRS]

Great ride and the bike is on song:lol:

well five star suzuki are still proving themselves to be crap!


took the bandit in at 9 this morning for its 6k service, was told that they would call me as soon as its ready. should be ready after lunch they tell me. well the shop is now closed for the day and no phone call.

they have not been busy, they have just taken on extra staff (was chatting to lee in the van when he bought me home), there is no excuse.

i wonder how long it will take them to call me???

Why does that not suprise me

[canarlee]

Why does that not suprise me

i dunno mate, gissa clue.

[speights_bud]

Hmmm, it would appear that 5-star are not so popular these days, i don't deal with them for servicing (do it all myself) but i found that before they knew me as a customer i just had to keep making the phone calls and chasing them up. It would appear though that even regular and long term customers are also having issues:no::oi-grr:

However I will now only deal with Lee or Craig when ordering parts, and nowdays i always recieve a call if told there would be. They have been and continue to be good to me :) :2thumbsup

[canarlee]

unfortunately its a 6000k warranty service otherwise i would take else where.

lee was apologetic as ever this morning in the van, craig asked me where i got the 2 brothers muffler from so i told him and explained why. all of a sudden there were red faces, hmm i wonder why.

it was both craig and lee who i dealt with together this morning and i am still getting shit service!

i have just written an e-mail to suzuki head office outlining the problems that people are recieving here (5 star), i doubt it will have any effect but you never know.

maybe that is what is needed, rather than just bitch and moan about it on here we should do that directly to suzuki head office. it is a main dealership for hawkes bay, do you think the bigwigs at top want the only dealership they have here to have a bad reputation?

have a look at these guys, yes they are mainly a custom bike shop but one of the owners also does dyno stuff (yes they have a dyno in their workshop) and does a lot of work on sports bikes. honest, friendly, reliable (calls you when they say they are going to call you, and it was the 1st time i had ever been in there!) and genuine!


you prolly know where it is but if you dont, go straight past 5 star about 100 meters on the left you will see them. tell them the pom with the bright yellow bike said to come in, you wont get a discount but i might:D

[speights_bud]

well five star suzuki are still proving themselves to be crap!



go Five star. They have given me some good service in the last months but get this,

The July account came in and I paid it on the 9th of August. yep early.
I get a reminder notice on the 2nd Sept to say my account has been brought forward. It has a red stamp on it. "Any reason?"
I called after hours last night and left a message. Called today at 2ish and spoke to Sue I think. Spent 20 minutes on the phone and got it sorted. yep it is paid sorry. Things happen but it just doesn't seem to stop with this company. Get it sort 5 Star or sell the business back to Craig. He ran a good ship and was great to work with. I am sorry you sold it mate.

[canarlee]

steve, craig was the one i dealt with this morning! he couldnt give a shit anymore from what i gather.....

They never did so he picked one up from Hamilton and now needs some whare to get it seviced, going to try the Susukie shop in Havelock.

well i still havent heard back from 5 star! over 24 hours for a service now and they said it would be ready after lunch yesterday!


G, where in havelock is the suzie shop? i will pay them a visit when i get my bike back! i dont care if i have to travel a bit further and wait around there if the service is going to be better!

[MSTRS]

He probably refers to Greensmiths....I think they do farmbikes and scooters.

[canarlee]

ahh ok, i presume they would be able to service and do other jobs on road bikes?

i will take a look see anyway and see what they say.

yes it is a simple thing to do stick, BUT they say they will phone me and they dont. not just this time but several other times!

i went in there several times since the middle of may (when i first arrived in the bay) asking them to sort me a muffler out, 8 or 9 (maybe more cant remember) times i left my number at their request, each time i went back or called them the answer was "sorry i forgot" (its not as if i am that easy to forget is it!). last time i had the bike serviced there i went round there 2 days later, "sorry we forgot to tell you it was ready".


you think that is acceptable for a main dealership? i dont! especially one that has very little customers. they need to stop apologising and do something about it!
