WOF on the North Shore

[nudedaytona]

Good stuff - I need a wof, now I know where to go. I think I'll try this Rodger fella first, then Takapuna Brake and Auto if no-one's home.

I was lying awake in bed last night, as you do (well... at least as I do), and I thought to meself (thought to meself), "Huh.... hmmmm.... it seems a while since my last Farrant of Wintess for the bike.... wunnerwhenitsdue....?"
Turns out, it was 17 days ago.
So, I thought I'd check on Good Ole KiwiBiker to see where's a good place to go. It's been a while (many, many moons) since I went to Action Bike Thingie for a WOF, so I hope he doesn't throw a spazz about my non-standard injimicators and zorst.
Is he likely to?
The injimicators are "E" marked, but iffen you read the regs, they don't meetem. The zorst should be OK, IF I put swap the non-stealth restrictor for the stealth one, and IF he doesn't pull me up on the fact it's removable.
What about that other place - Tackerpunga Break and Automofo: are they likely to be more or less bureaucratic?

[vifferman]

So?
Rodger at Action, or that other place?
Today's the day...

rodger is a good bastard.

[vifferman]

I've dealt with him before. I'm just a worrier, and don't really want to have to reinstall my ugly "dumbo ear" indicators if I can help it.

[The Pastor]

he wont worry about them as long as they can been seen and go flash _b

[The Pastor]

fwiw i think the stock ones look better

fwiw i think the stock ones look better

Well... they work better. But they stick out too far, and they get severely muntered if the bike's dropped (and severely munter the inner and outer fairing panels).
Asides, the new ones MUST be good for an extra 10 horsies: they're more streamlined AND have carbon fibre goodness.

Whelp, I can confirm that not only is Roger a Good Bastard, but he's also a Pragmatic Person.
He knew that the injimicaterz was not OEM, but didn't care. In fact, he was rather interested in them (after he'd affixed my new WOF, which was after he'd taken the holder off and gave it a really good clean).
We also talked about zorsts. He reckoned mine wouldn't pass the new regs, but I know for a fact it would. He passed it anyway, as in Stealth Mode, it's not loud at all (at all). Not like that cake mixer thing under the tank.
I reckon it needs a new mixing bowl, or paddles or summat.
I suspect he may have passed the zorst without the spud, but it's irreverent, as I'm like so over riding with it like that.
