    Trump-lady returns/where to take my bike?

    OK so its been almost 7 months since I rode the pink beast and she needs some love.

    Failed warrent. Needs new back tire
    Battery is flat
    Shes been sitting for 7 months so who knows what she needs
    Notice some screws missing
    Needs a service (not oil, was done before stopped riding)
    Has a broken brake lever I want changed
    Need a general right royal going over

    Bike will jump start just got to hope she doesnt stall on the way to the shop!

    I have not used any bike stores in the auckland area. Where should I go?
    Trying to drop her off tomorrow before I spend my extra cash which is not much. Looking for good rates, quick reliable service and people who can explain what they will do (I want to learn) and I cant afford millions. This will be my reg shop from here on.

    Advise welcomed encouraged and appreciated

    I miss this site

    oops she is a triumph sprint 1999

    Thumbs up

    If you can get the bike to Taranaki I would reconmend this guy. http://www.triplefourensics.co.nz/ He only works on late model Triumphs
    To do something well is so worth while that to die trying to it better cannot be foolhardy. It would be a waste of a life to do nothing with ones ability, for I feel life is not measured in achievement, not in years alone. BRUCE MCLAREN

    My last ride I think I scared myself. I rode down to Palmy harley rally alone and rode crazy ks. The next weekend I went out and was very cocky and dangerous. I scraped the bottom of my bike leaning, ( hard on a sports tourer and not intentional) I dunno how but I didnt lose it on multiple corners I should have and it was not until after the ride and reflecting I realised I was lucky to get home. I was not scared and had no respect for my bike....So I decided to give it a break that turned into months. Now Im humble again and fearful so Im back in it. Now I just gotta get to the shop for check ups.

    Looks like cycle treads will be the winner..... thanks sqiggles..... I was going to try motohous as they do warrents too and I can easily get a ride back from there and they do warrents.....but cant find out much customer info on em....... If anyone has checked them out let me know.
