Random question, my local VTNZ says they only do WOFs on bikes up to 250cc because they say that is all they are qualified to do.
I thought the 250cc rule vanished with LAMS... anybody know if there is a different rule for warrants?

Regardless of LAMS,they should have amongst there employees a fully licenced rider-not that they ride far anyway.Often with a classic bike like yours they shy away for fear they might drop it.Find someone other than VTNZ,this has been my experience with classic bikes.
I think you'll find that it is their choice and not their lack of qualifications
They must be lacking in skills/confidence and may have had an insurance claim, following a mishap.
My VTNZ lets me do all the riding and testing. They just watch and take notes
I don't have an answer to that but I just want to say it's a dumb rule. I've had lots of warrants from different places and no testing officer has ever ridden my bikes. Makes the rule pointless and it's a pain to have to ring around different places every time just to find out 'if the bloke with the license is there today'
High miles, engine knock, rusty chrome, worn pegs...
Brakes as new

Funny. I took a troll bike for a WoF at VTNZ in Tuam Street some years back.
Little Asian due was the only one there with a bike licence, so he got the job.
I sat and watched him struggle to even start the bike, let alone test the brakes. Had one foot on the ground. Second wouldn't reach.
Funniest was watching him try to test the horn. So many buttons on a troll bike, he managed to start lights and siren before he found the horn.
from what I can understand, they can only WOF bikes they are legally allowed to ride. If their bike WOF guy has to ride LAMS, then they can only WOF LAMS...
Go to a different VTNZ? I mean.. the further away it is, the better the ride right?

Agreed, it's bullshit. I've taken the 900ss to my local VTNZ and got a WOF without any issues. That said, I did have to arrange the one guy at the station who was licensed for motorcycle WOFs to do the test.
In the last 10 years I've had just two motorcyclists refuse to allow me to test ride their bikes.
They got told to fuck off somewhere else.
