My front brake has been squeaking badly for a while (common with these bikes) so I emailed the workshop yesterday afternoon to see what they could do. This is not a warranty issue, brakes worked fine.

Within 5 minutes I had a reply..."bring it in tomorrow and we'll see what we can do"
Dropped it off this morning, they rang me back at 10:30. All done, cleaned front and back brakes, applied anti-squeal. NO CHARGE.
And the squeal is completely gone.
What more could you ask ?

WMCC are wicked good aren't they!!
Reminds me actually, need to arrange a time to take my Hornet in to have it looked at as it has started not wanting to start when it's cold, battery went flat last time trying to start it and Sully had to come and bump start it down my driveway!!

But you know how to bump start now ... you do it all the time on your bucket!!

As much as that is true.... Pamela is a whore and it doesn't matter if I drop her, my Hornet on the other hand.... and 190+ kg is a little heavy for me to push up our driveway on my own!!:sweatdrop

Yes, WMCC are Good Cunts (tm).

Mt Eden MC did the same for me the last time I saw them, too. Dropped off Stickchick's EL at the workshop, told them it wasn't going too flash and they should do whatever they thought necessary.

They gave it a full once-over, greased all the greasy points and adjusted all the cables, then handed it back to me and said "It's basically sweet, bro, no charge."

I love bike shops when they do that. It makes me want to buy a motorcycle from them right now.

Yep, the coffee is piss poor, and I found that test rides were not negotiable, they're bloody COMPULSORY! I was refused permission to leave the premises of WMCC the last time I was there until I took a bike for a test ride. That crasherfromwayback drives a hard bargain....

Yep WMCC is my second home, they've put up with me for 10 years.......
Bruce is a legend. BTW Anyone else love trying to move your bike out of the queue of bikes on the upward sloping rear driveway? God damn that should be part of your license test....especially in the wet...

Get Mojo to move closer!!
I hate going into WMCC. I keep getting forced to take out bikes on test rides or sit in Pete's office (feels like detention) for hours talking about shit. I even see other people I know in there doing the same thing! It's a scam I tells ya! Offering good service and being good cunts - these people should be ashamed of themselves

Yeah they did that to me once and I walked out the door with a Moto Guzzi V11 Sport. Sheeez Pete !!!

Seriously though, it's the only shop I take the Guzzi to get serviced and it runs beautifully once they do it.

Even better when there is an audience wondering if you are going to drop it in the process and take the whole lot down like dominos...

I was asked yesterday if I wanted my bike taken out the front..of course I said no, thats for pussies.

Yes, they have a VERY yummy GSXR 750 in there at the moment in a stunning orange and black, drooled all over it the other day when I was in there, was even offered something a little stronger when I said no to a coffee, it was after 11am, so was tempted!! Can't ask for much more can you?!
