Okay, folks.
Daylight Saving time is over so our midweek rides are moving to the weekend.
It will be really hard to please everyone, but I'll give it a go.
Rides will take place on Saturday avo, leaving from BP Taradale Rd at 1.30pm.
First ride is this coming Saturday (24 March) - if the weather turns to crap on any Saturday (highly unlikely in HB!), we can move the ride to Sunday.

I believe we will be joined by an Aucklander for our first outing...

Same "rules" as for our midweek rides- these rides are suitable for newbies, inexperienced riders and of course, our resident Nana rider/s

Look forward to seeing you all there!

Count me out guys, the max is laid up. big G will fly the YME flag

[Dooly]

Whats wrong with the Max?

[Gixxer 4 ever]

$103.00 for oil and filter. No, not changed just the oil and filter for me to take away.

They have changed the oil they use and sell. And that was with my discount. Got my usual oil and filter from Honda in Bay View for $63.00. I am not jugging and yes I guess the oil they are using is top of the line but my old bikes is happy with the Motul it has had for the last few years. And the Gixxer before that did 81,000 KM on it and was still good when sold.

Just ask for a price. What are they going to charge the people who don't do any of this work themselves?

Lee is a good man to work with. When I asked him the price of the oil he went a bit quiet as his boss was standing next to him and he said ummmmm, as he went a bit red in the face, $103.00 with your discount That was with the filter. I muttered somthin like SHIT here I will put it back on the shelf for you.

Strike 3, 5 star.

Edit That $103.00 was oil and filter!

[yungatart]

Woohoo! $103...has it got gold flecks in it or something?
Theyu ran fancy full page ads in colour in the paper last week, promising heaps...seems like their delivery leaves a little to be desired.
Looks like the guys at Mainjet will be getting more work from here on in....

Gee that is steep. Was that fully synthetic oil that they gave you a price for?

I picked up a bottle of the new brand and ask Lee if this was what I needed. No price on the shelf I might add. He said he would check it. I asked for a semi-synthetic. He went away and came back with a flash bottle with the word "race" on it. My wallet took a deep breath and pinched my ass when I saw that. Probably fully synthetic but that's what he recommended. The oil I had in my hands and the one he got were the only two in stock.
Both bottles are back on the shelf tonight. I am sure they will sell them to someone not as tight as me tomorrow.

It is my choice for sure but I am not payin that for oil. Maybe in the year 2222 but not yet.

The poin is ASK cos it could be more than you want to pay

Got some oil and a filter for the Ace $72.00 and it was fully synthetic, good stuff to from Barrys. But you will go to these posh up beat 5 star joints eh.

[BigG]

$102 for oil & filter from Anza on Monday, for the Triumph.
Thought while I was down there I'd pick up a pack & filter. Does'nt need changing for 6000k by the service book, and I've only done 2800 since new, but dunno when I'll be down that way again.
Its supposed 'special' Mobil oil recommended for the engine, and whilst its still under warranty best I put the 'right' stuff in.
But fuck...thats steep, and with discount!
