ok i concede the $30 - i missed that post.

interestingly though - shouldn't a 'hire' bike be subject to a COF, not a WOF?

A very good point... beyond my knowledge though.

Well fuck me. If this was they way of the world, I'd have a full time team of lawyers working for me. With very little exception, the quality of service in NZ is useless at the best of times. There are very few efficient businesses in NZ and it pays to have very low expectations.

The exception to my poor service comment is Mr Discount for KB'ers Girardin.

Hire bikes need a CoF,but a loaner doesn't...loop holes.I'm with Marty on this one...the shop cocked up and got the time wrong,but if it was me going for my licence on a loaner I'd be kinda excited and be there early,get a bit of time in on the bike.The original posters laid back ''the world's doing it all for me'' attitude back fired on him this time.He needs to be proactive in his quest for a licence,''she'll be right'' is for losers.

So true, so true.

Any bike rented for hire or reward must have a COF and appropriate usage registration. 'Test rides' are different.
Thanks Finn, love you too.

Bugger, let us know if you are able to recoup the loss from the bike shop

Does that mean I get the brother love discount on those Spidi's when they're in stock?

Look Finn, there's no nice way to say this, so I'll just be direct. You're a tad boring in the sack, so we'll have to call it a day.
Don't feel too bad, it's not me, it's you.

Now that is honesty from within the trade for ya

**Lou Girardin** · 7th March 2006, 14:27

It casts a whole new light on the "f'in dealer screwed me" doesn't it?

Lou, I was in it just for the discount. And for your information I faked it and I was lying when I said having one testicle was sexy.

Thats because there are so many monkeys, including those being paid more than peanuts.Its hard for employers to find staff that have a solid protestant work ethic and dont have a problem with mind and mood altering substances. It also seems to me that NZ has become grievance and compensation crazy, just how profitable do the worst forum kneejerks think motorcycle shops are for gods sake? Especially after the ''Bitch of Belsen'' and her short upstart sidekick take their pound of flesh in taxes and other forms of legalised theft.
