    Too true, guess that Paul might be missing something??

    Man, I'd be really worried if I were you. What if all the nuts haven't been properly tightened; and what if they only used generic parts rather than the proper ones; and what if they used lefthand rather than righthand threaded bolts; and what if they put things back together before the paint dried properly; and what about all of the used bits they stuck on your bike so that they could put all of the new bits onto their own bikes; and what if...

    Yep, I hear some of the dodgier bike shops will siphon out your expensive 96 octane gas and replace it with cheaper 91 octane, and when you take it in for a tune-up you get to pay for getting your old gas back.

    Not to mention using second-hand oil. I have heard horror stories of these types using old air that had past its expiry date when inflating tyres.

    hitcher--Now you are talking about used car yards really aincha?
    Don't worry stonechucker its only the bikeshops in wellington that have problems. The ones here in auckland are all good.
    AS A SPECIAL FAVOUR --I will come to wellington personally on the 27th and test ride your bike for ya. --At great personal sacrifice.

    Relax man your bike was running fine on Saturday. The mechanics had it over the Wairarapa on Saturday and we were all having a right thrash session on it, or was that a trash session? I'm not sure but how did it react before when you hit the rev limiter? I found it cut out too sudden rather than a gentle flutter that I would have expected. Also, did it tend to drift left during burnouts before. That's a sure sign that you bent it because we only lightly dropped it. Apart from that it seemed OK and the shop will probably give you a call to say it's ready to be collected this week, so long as the mechanic can get his own bike back on the road by Friday. Apparently your starter motor didn't fit his bike as well as hoped so they had to wait for another model to come through the workshop.
