    whew --i can finally talk about it.
    Its great to see a bike shop owned and run by bikers get noticed by a franchise.
    darn good blokes them guys
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Cool. I'll go check them out tomorrow as I need to pick up a head gasket for the ZXR400. Finally an alternative to Red Baron who didn't have any non-standard sprockets for my bike!

    Yeah have too say, got same treatment from red baron, and were NZ$ 79.00 cheaper on 10k service than the buggers I bought the bike off !,
    Only time the bike gets washed is when it gets serviced .

    Mt Eden M/C

    Got my cam chain done there, and because they also dismantle it is the perfect place to go when you own a more mature motorcycle.

    Apart from buying an R/R there, I haven't actually had much to do with them, but I've rung several times when after parts, and Mike is always very helpful, and honest - he's helped out where he could, but told me who to try if he wasn't able to help me.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    I believe that the dismantlification has been sold to one of the mechanics who used to work there - now it is out on the corner of Crummer and McKelvie streets in ponsonby... very near the Ponsonby rd/Gt nth rd/K rd intersection. Still got the same phone number though.

    don,t know about that but I did hear the Salesman T boned a taxi on his first ride of the Hyosung650GT a few weeks ago, speaking of which has anyone bought a hyosung650gt yet Good price and looks good but I'm a bit nervous about being a test pilot buyer could be a lemon?
    as for Red baron service it seemed a bit pricey to me and I paid $40 for a warrent thats a $15 dollar mark up for what? I wont go back for service but would consider buying a bike from them if the price is right they present well.
    Spectrum offer a good service price.
    Your never to old for a sportsbike

    I phoned the guys at Mt eden up this morning looking for a speedo cable for the zxr. Talked to mike and he said - no problem, should get it in by the end of the day. Phoned redbaron up to check on their price - $7 more expensive, and they couldnt get it in for a few days. Rang mt eden again at 4pm, and sure enough there was a cable waiting for me I know who I will be dealing with in the future.... Plus the guys at Mt eden are personable, friendly and just as interested in having a yarn as they are in selling you some merchandise, which seems to be a forgotten trait in many many shops...
    On a side note, it looks much better in there now... heaps more space and light. methinks a z1000 looks tempting If only I had the money
