He'd also stated that the very same company you said he should try don't go to GISBORNE fuckhead.

Seems to me you've got more than enough time to tell us what a cool cunt you are. I guess at least you got one of those words right.

aside from pickup woes, Ive had good experiences with biketranz. Ive had several bike transport experiences with mainfreight, and every single time they managed to fuck something up badly.

Exellent service great price well loked after they wraped it in protective carpet over the tank on a pallet
was really impressed getting a vfr 750 Moved next then vt 500 from wellington been qouted 193.00 for the vt 500
You need the dimisions of the bike weight etc , where the pick up is from etc

its the only trucking company i found that do it your need make sure no petrol is in the tank also for saftey reasons

wow, you must have shouted the manager a hooker or something, cos you got looked after better than anyone I know whose used MF for bikes!

Should be fun toy! Looks like its getting picked up next tuesday and should make its way down to Dunners.. they also did fortnightly trips to the south but I think net week is the trip down so I may have it next week and take it out for thursday ride if weathers nice

haha, I told the exact same bullshit when my missus wanted to start, told her that the TZR250 was perfect for her being light and easy to ride . . . she still managed to drop it in Hayd3n's driveway - and at the supermarket carpark (funny story, she was fine, but she rang me saying it wouldnt go and something was jammed... she forgot to take it out of gear when she picked it up

)

If you want Ill go get it and ride the cunt back!!
Be nice to see it at the ride!

Haha, yea I'm gonna be watching the Mrs carefully.. thinking of ways to protect it when it falls over lol.. how about strapping mattresses each side?

I got NZMotorcycleMovers.co.nz on the job, They are picking it up next Tuesday. They were the cheapest 450.00 door to door from Gisborne to Dunedin, and they were the only ones that would go to Gisborne to pick it up for me, Bike Tranz didnt wanna know about old Gizzy at all, nor did most of the other companies I tried, there were a few. Captain Transporters would go there but they wanted 689.00 to get it here and I think it was only depot to depot.

NZMotorcycleMovers.co.nz alll the way (not to be confused with motorcyclemovers.co.nz they arent that flash)

Looking forward to coming out for a little group ride on it.

Uhmm, Im a motorbicycle expert, and I think you should allow me to take the first ride on your new bike to ensure it handles fine....

Been the case, be ready for a rebuild when it returns

**tigertim20** · 30th November 2011, 18:20

crash bungs for the win mate, cheap as at about $50 or less on ebay, and a damn side cheaper than replacing a whole fairing panel

**DrunkenMistake** · 30th November 2011, 19:50

Bungs and a pack rack,
pack rack is good for protecting the tail, not a major though

pack racks are also handy for carrying home all the new parts to fix a broken down hyosung...

Definitely cheaper than a fairing. Yea will get on the ebay, I have never fitted crash bungs to any of my bikes to date but might be time to jump on it.

Are they universal or do I have to find a kit for the aprilia rs250 now?

flag the pack rack haha, I'm not carrying anything on the little rocket, its single seat etc, stripped down a little. Got the blade as a workhorse, I can carry heaps on it.. like pizza.. mmmmm

I think I get the first engine blow up rights.. its got unknown service history but is running well at the moment so we will see! I might open it up for a look after a couple of rides, heard horror stories of the pins in the powervalve falling out and into the cylinder causing a right mess lol. Might be the first modification to get into.

I'm sure we can swap bikes on a ride in the near future tho DM, I'll watch u handle your Hyosung first

.. altho with my riding u may not want me anywhere near yours.
