    DoH!
    That's exactly what was being said. VTNZ uses the rollers to test the brakes, in lieu of a road test. Other Wof issuers have to do a road test, because they don't have rollers.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Not my local VTNZ. I have to do a brake test for them. On the back road behind the testing station. Gary @ UH VTNZ says the roller isn't safe for motorcycles.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Our VTNZ does not road test bikes OR put them on the rollers. Good thing I know my brakes work...

    And bikes dont go on rollers, you do the brake test for them...
    Who is the company that manufactures Milo? I'm sueing them, as its clear from this thread that it is detrimental to childrens brains.

    Can't they realise the way they go around trying to help road safety grates many people just like the cheese cutters.

    I don't want to be stopped when i'm on the bike, it makes me feel the cops are there loitering on the road waiting for an innocent citizen to do nothing wrong just to criminalise them. They had better make sure i'm not doing 101kmph I may die. Now i get to have the junk mail before I get to the letterbox


    now this is junk mail i want in my letter box!

    why not get the rights to use extracts out of a successful motorcycling handbook that will give riders ideas of proper riding techniques.

    Instead of cops putting pressure on the road why not make a little pack they send to every registered bikes house that comes with a twist of the wrist book, a dvd on the same stuff, a small book of bike crash stories/pictures, discount vouchers for proper gear, discount on rego and a bit of brownie for some points.

    then i would listen, they may even get through to some people that don't take to being forced on the side of the road to look like a pillock as cars drive past staring.

    lets start working for the people not the paycheck, safer communities together

    well if your brakes didn't work there would be a MSTRS sized hole in their wall, actually applying that logic to the whole thing, just turning up means your vehicle is road-worthy. Drive through wof's for all!

    wathced em put my ginny on a the roller test once, fuck that was sketchy

    Not, actually. Lift each wheel off the deck, check bearings, spin the wheel and apply brake. No load at all, but they're happy.
    They've actually said to me "Bike wof's aren't worth the paper they're written on. We can't check thinks like frame cracks under the tank, and so on. You guys ride these things, and we guess you wouldn't if they weren't ok"
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
