Alright i have had enough i need to get this off my chest,the world is trying to stop me riding my bike !!!! . i found rust in my tank a while ago due to the nice painter blocking the drainage hole in my tank and water driping into it.
so i went down and spoke to an unamed bike shop and they said send it here this guy is the best! o.k i said and off it went i got it back and looked at it and said to them "there are holes in the welds" (he cut the bottom of the tank out and rebuilt the whole tank). they checked with him and it had been tested, "its fine" they said "his tanks never leak","hes the best" they said. after spending about a grand from start to finish on my tank (paint decals etc) i get it on my bike, go out boxing day and spend 4 hours stuck in levin on my way up yo the races because THE TANK LEAKED. so i rip the tank off and not only has the 4 hundred dollar repair fucked but the 4 hundred dollar paint job is also falling off (unrelated) so the tank is now getting rewelded and then it goes back to the panelbeater so he can fix his fuckup so its summer and my bike will probably stay parked up till winter.........JOY!!!!

More and more people are joining the bikeless/injuredandunabletoride club. What the bloody hell's going on? Who's job is it to make sacrifices to the Biker Goddess?

Mate,did you get took or what ?
This is what you should of done.
Chucked a couple of hands full of gravel in it,shook the hell out of it,tipped the stones out,gone to Mt Eden Motorcycles an got them to put that tank lining shit in it.
If it was Mt Eden that give you the bum steer in the first place,disreguard this message.
But I doubt they would.

Don't the consumer whatzits act cover that?

After all they should have done a decent job and it should have been up to standard, not just last a few years...

I'd be fuming about this and looking to get a refund!
