McIiver & Veitch... well bugger!

Yes I do expect posts from the Ducati knockers....

But anyway I owe a big thanks to McIvor and Vietch for great helping hand out of a tight spot.
Last friday night 5,30 pmish, I was cruising through the Lake Mahinerangi area between Lawarence and Dunedin when I came across 1 km of new very sharp gravel and the inevitable hapened, a 50mm long 1.5cm diameter when through the near new rear tire and left a 2.5cm gash straight through the tread.....beyond the ability of my tire repair gear.

I left the bike at a friendly farmer and was given a lift into Dunedin by another farmer. Sat Morning I rolled up to McIver and Veitch, who arranged to run me up to pick up the bike. Back in Duners the bike was washed and Pirelli Scorpian Tire replaced. The offending stone was inside the tire.

The service was freindly and helpful and the price was very reasonable....and so far I am happy with the Michelin pilot road 3.

Thanks Bill

Wow! Wouldn't want a blow out in one of those at speed either.

I must add to the other comments and say that I have never had nothing but good service from the team at Mciver and Veitch. One of the best bike shops around NZ!
