New To Auckland in need of servicing help...

[trump-lady]

Hi all. I just moved to Auckland. I have a Triumph Sprint on its way up from CHCH. Its been getting painted pink...YES pink hehehehe and has not been riden for bout 3 months. The guy said looks like back tires flat and prob need a quick going over. Just before the paint job I got tires brakes etc but prob needs a thourough looking at. I want to ride asap and she arrives Weds evening. I live in the Panmure area. Where should I go? Should I take it to a shop and wheres a good one....or is there any out there with some spare time to show me what to look for in the future. Im a realitively newbie whos been really slack and had my dad or bf do that stuff but now Im by myself I need to learn......

Any ideas?

Welcome to Auckland.



Hogs and Triumph's are usually at AMPS on Kyber Pass...... near the city.

Yes - I'd contact AMPS (http://www.amps.co.nz/contact.html) to start with. Map here (http://www.smaps.co.nz/nz/auckland/grafton/khyber+pass+road/234/)

Also - new to Auckland, should get along to the MMM Party this Saturday if you can make it. Meet a few of the locals...!

if you don't need a "Triumph" shop then Botany honda is really good for general servicing. And they are much closer.

Amps in kyber pass or Holeshot are the Auckland Triumph Dealers if its just your Tyre go somwhere local like Haldanes on Great south road in Penrose or as Zapf sugested Botany honda wellcome to Auckland hope to se ya on some of our rides soon

If its just the tyre like zrxer said , then cycletreads on the north shore will see you right, dont have to book in just turn up and they will do it. Put a new rear on mine recently, just rocked on up and showed me the great selection in store ( a real bonus) they have everything there and it was fitted within the hour....:yes:

Yeah but we Triumph owners are hard bastards....:yes:
But if you new to a city like Auckland i guess the closer the better.
