    Did she hone out your piston?
    I've spent my money on bikes, booze and babes. The rest I've wasted....

    I dealt with Pete at wellington Motorcycles over the purchase of a bike. Deal didnt go through due it being sold out from under us. Not Petes fault and was a GC to deal with.

    Would happily deal with him again.

    Who was this?
    I know Cajun had issues with a Tauranga dealer and his RSV.

    I've been keeping an eye on here at the dealer support feedback for Aprilia and my personal experience is that since the demise of MtEMC it's ironically Haldanes that have stepped up.

    If you're still have MAP issues, I know that AF1 offer a "post-it-to-us" service for our ECU's the cost is US$40.00 iirc + postage.

    The crew at Motorad. I deal with them through my work on a fairly regualar basis, and they were great when i went in trying to decide between draggin jeans and some other stuff. A quick trip to buy new gloves turned in to a long waffle about everything else.

    Very little experience with WMC (sorry Pete) because when their workshop boys come up, I bug them with inane questions

    I wasn't impressed with being virtually ignored at Motormart on saturday though. They may have the bike I want, but I can find one elsewhere.

    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

    You come and see me, and if I have to fit the tyre myself I will. I said we'll see you right, and for sure we will.

    Rather not say but you have the area correct. Took it NTB Racing at Te Rapa. running Map 2 variant now and balanced throttle bodies, adjust throttle free play which was preventing correct TPS setting. Its a different bike. He showed me switching between the variants which other dealer couldn't do but he was unable to load new map. Mark is a top bloke and very very good mechanic. He is trying to find out why new maps cannot load. Been talking to Micah and Ted at AF1. I know about the post it option but it looks like there is a problem with the ECU??

    I went to AMPS as a cash buyer twice to buy a bike and was totally ignored. I went somewhere else....
    Funny thing is, my husband goes in and they are all over him like a rash and he doesn't have any money!
