    im always suspicous of when chicks rave about guys going the extra mile. I wonder if he'd have done that if you were a bloke riding a bandit 600....

    More importantly, you're happy about the sales experience, but what about the bike - tell us what you think of it?
    I have nothing but happy, happy, joy, joy with my new bike. It is light (165kgs dry), full of horses (125 hp), loves the corners and it is waiting for me to catch up. I can't see myself not getting bored of this bike for a while, it has everything I was looking for and more. Will be taking it on the Taupo track in Nov/Dec so we can get to know each other better. I am in love

    Fair comment. Why don't you head down there and see for yourself. When McJim and others came with me to pick up my new bike they let some of guys take bikes for test rides while I filled out my paperwork.

    Pete one of the guys who I've dealt with offered to map out rides for us to do in area if we need new weekend rides. Just found them so much more friendly and helpful then Auckland thats all.

    I collected a couple of PWs & TTRs to drag to Muriwai for a guy and his kids to try out. He bought something else and never showed. Ah well, my boy and his mate had a good time. I'd have done it even if he was a "hot" chick.

    I've heard nothing but good about the 675s as well. Plus they are the best looking bike being made at the moment. Though . . . . . . there was that magazine article about taking a 675 and a GSXR to the track for 24hrs.

    Whilst we are talking of service (or lack of it) in Auckland.

    I can give "big-ups" to the guys at Holshot on the Shore. Not only did they deliver my bike free of charge, but when I was in the shop and ripped the seat of a brand new Triumph America (hooks on my boot) they were really nice about it. and didnt make me feel like a bastard for damaging it.

    I offered to pay but they wouldn't have any of it and said they would sort it out. Was really appreciated.

    Thanks Trippy loving my new ride alright, just hard to keep it to the speed limit its so smooth you have to keep checking yourself. Anyway radar is on its way so once that is on will be more fun.

    Last time I was at HMC I was talking to James who works in the workshop and he said that they sent him to Oz for a training session specifically on the Triumph 675 so he knows our bikes pretty well.
