    Robert Taylor and Ohlins

    Ok just to let everyone know, i was not asked to write this i am doing this because good service is hard to find anywhere let alone people trying to rip ya off anywhere and everywhere..... however just when ya think the world has let you down.

    introducing Robert Taylor
    i decided a week before the first round of vmcc to do something about my suspension, firstly let me tell you that alone is not very bright, but being the eternal optimist.. i thought she'll be right.

    sure enough Rob turned my suspension front and rear around in about 48 hours and got it back to me pronto.. very nicely and proffesionaly packaged. and i must admit i was very impressed with the price,far below what i expected.
    to top it of the man was there at Taupo to set it up for me..

    all i can say people is that dont bother mucking around with your own suspension, its like building a space ship, ya cant do it!!
    get the right stuff first time....

    Its amazing how far off you can actually be when you think you've got your setup 'close' - those guys are amazing!

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    AND... close enough is nowhere near good enough for Robert. I have been absolutely delighted with the work RT has done for me over the years, and the level of service that goes with it. Bloody hard to find nowadays

    Sorry buddy, clearing my backyard jungle all this weekend. Will be one of the very few weekends available to myself and family. We can send you a setup booklet when we have it further perfected. To that end send me a prompt by e-mail.

    I'm no racer and neither is my bike, but everytime I ride it I think just how much of a pleasure it is to do so since Robert installed my Ohlins shock and set it up so that I was happy with it, top work!

    Bring it to the test day before round two and gizza go then bro. I'd love to have a play on that bad boy when it will go in a straight line on the power, and I dont have to pick it up off my knee entering every turn.
