Hi guys
Just arrived from the UK and my Yamaha FZS600S fazer is due to arrive in Auckland tomorrow. Could anyone tell me where the best place to shop for parts and clothes is in Auckland. I'm on the north shore but can travel. I need:
New rear suspension (Showa or similar as soon as I get my first wage packet!)
Leather trousers for my girlfriend
New tyres (in the next three months probably)
Any good meets in the area coming up?
Thanks for your help.

cycletreads has a good range and average prices and absolutly shit customer service, (don't expect them to come over to you, you have to ask them all the questions, but there happy to help, just not proactive in getting u help, everytime ive been in there ive been ignored untill i askthem...) BUT you get to ride your bike INTO the shop, and for that reason alone, I go there for tyres (they have the best range i belive correct me if im wrong)/ odd bit of clothing.
Quasimoto has awesome stuff too and really good prices (you can send me my share of the profits now quasi.... )!
Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

welcome mate,
a fair few bike shops in auckland - you'll find the RANGE isn't quite as extensive as in the UK, so there isn't any real one stop shop. You might need to do the tour!
On the North shore you have Holeshot Suzuki on barrys point road, does gear as well. Across the street is cycle threads, never actually been there but I hear very good things and do alot of gear by all accounts.
On the other side of the bridge try colemans suzuki, the red baron, haldanes, mount eden motorbikes and AMPS (auckland motorcycles and power sports). they are all in within a short drive from each other.
further afield there are some good bike shops in Hamilton and Wellington, but you'll get what you need in auckalnd EVENTUALLY.
Look at the "events" section of the forum for meets and such like, there is always something happening.
cheers

Don't take it to a shop for the suspension work as half the monkeys don't really know jack about setting up a bike properly.
Take it to someone like Suspension Tech in ellerslie he does all my bikes and is probably one of the best suspension speacialists in the country, there is also a Kber called Danger (i think) he's based out west i haven't heard anything bad about his work.
For the rest of it try Spectrum on the shore good guys amd good service
Take it weetbix YEA ERM
Auckland, I feel sorry for you now. Goodluck hope it dont put you off NZ
Those who dont learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.

I can do your leathers at a better price than the shops and without sacrificing the quality, and I offer a cup of tea and you have my full attention and you get a nice little ride in, or see my Auckland distributor

When your standing at the counter with product in your hand after 10 mins it gets a tad annoying....

Not again.......
Welcome, and nice one. You're at the best place you can be in this sad little country.
I have deep pockets. It's just that it's a deep empty pocket...........

Thanks all for the info. 2 questions though, what's wrong with Auckland and does everybody here work for Quasimoto?
Actually, don't want to rekindle a debate that's probably raged on here before. Thanks again. I look forward to meeting some of you in the Auckland area. Look out for a red, silver and black old style fazer!

Try Motohaus for tyres, Kerry's been pretty good with Avons on the ZX12
Melbourne Goer
duno if its still open
but try motomail.... duno where it is, might be western springs, just google it.
nothing wrong wit auckland
outsiders are just .... choose to judge us by the one or 2 ppl they have run into from auckland. of course their are more of a chance of running into an arsehole! there is alot more ppl in auckland
oooooo it purrs..... stroke me
nothing wrong with Auckland mate, it should be the capital of NZ. The rest of the country gets upset with AUckland because we get everything, new roads, heaps of funding and a nice new stadium when ever something big happens. The Americas cup village, tall buildings and great coffee. Wethers shit but you can't have everything.
Cycletreads will do you a great deal on tyres if you mention KB and have a huge range of gear.
www.cycletreads.co.nz
all the details are there. Also make sure you go check out the motomail outlet store in Kingsland. they have end of line gear at awesome prices.

oh yeah, and motohause is right next door to motomail outlet store, check his tyre prices also.
Cibby play thing
Not again.......
Indeed Auckland is brillient. Especially North Shore...
Take this for example. I drove around North Shore for 5 years and always parked my car on the road. - never a theft or vandalism on my car.
I bring that same car over here to Palmy and in the year and a half that I've lived in this house, it's been broken into 5 TIMES!!! right outside my house!!!!
I hate this fucking town. - The reason why I'm moving back to north shore next year....
I have deep pockets. It's just that it's a deep empty pocket...........
