  1. Classic Bikes Pukekohe 2010

    Can ya believe stroud does a wheelie on the Britten right in front of me... and I decide to put my camera down... arg.

    Great couple of days, sticky and hot in bike gear, but well worth saying ya just another smelly biker chick ha. Had to say following Dobsy race against the Paton... was pretty awesome, leading all the way thru to the last lap... ah well beat him in the next race tho.

    Pretty impressed with the noise, and even how fast those classics can ...

    I'm looking at riding from Tauranga to Levin. Now I know that these sites travel times are generally on the longer side but Google Maps is telling me that 420 km's will take 5 hours and 40 minutes to travel where as AA reckons 452 km's is 6 hours and 25 minutes.

    Does anyone know this route, or have any feedback on how far off the mark these are?

  6. Wellington Motorcycle - Poor Service - Update 09/02/10

    I have just talked to a mate and he had exactly the same service last month at Wellington Motorcycles . They used exactly the same parts, fuilds etc on his Bandit 1250 (and a full fairing) and he was only charged $330.

    I will be getting a copy of his Tax Invoice and presenting this to the owner.

  7. Wellington Motorcycle - Poor Service

    Now I appreciate that owning a bike and servicing it is not a cheap exercise. This I was and am prepared for… However, when you are given a total quote on two separate occasions you expect that to be the cost. On each I was told the total cost would be $395(ish), not the fricking $592.43 I have just bloody paid.

    My baby has just had its 12,000k service. I have got home and am still fuming! Not only has the ‘required work’ (ref service manual in front of me), not been done, but that ...
