    I use VTNZ on Archers Road.

    Not great service but they give you what you need.

    Why not take a cruise to the lovely Hibiscus Coast and pay a visit to Classic_Z in Whangaparaoa. You can check out his mint Z1300 and his turbo project bike. He owns Hibiscus Coast Service Centre and ph. is 09-424 0477.

    VTNZ Saturn Place does it for me. At least one of the guys is a biker, but they're all usually friendly and efficient.
    Redefining slow since 2006...

    Depends what you mean by "good place to go for a warrant".
    I go to Action Bike Wreckers behind Cycletreads on Barrys Point Road. You can count on Roger to check your bike out for safety issues, without being pedantic and bureaucratic about meeting every little rule. If you're looking for someone who'll overlook dodgy issues, or a ridiculously loud zorst, go elsewhere.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    You should go to a bike shop to ensure you get a better understanding of how fucked ya bike is.

    I hear they can fail you just for owning a Suzuki.

    Cycletreads do WOF now, but you have to ring them up and book first.

    Amazingly enough, to Upgrade will all of a sudden seem like the best option.

    You know it makes sense!

    Okay, didn't take it today, apparently the picnic which I had agree'd to go to with my gf was today, or so I found out right after I posted that message. So tomorrow it is

    I rode the CX up the drive before (did a bit of work earlier to get it running). Still needs a couple of things done to be ready tho

    well almost passed. One thing wrong: Leaking fork seals.

    Anyone know how easy/hard that is to fix, and whether its a do-it-yourself job or something I should take to a mechanic (yes, everything can be done yourself, but some things, like oil changes, are hard to stuff up, while others, like rebalancing carbs are quite alot easier to make things worse with)
