Riding to garage with no WOF or rego?

[notme]

Fair enough - but that's certainly the exception! Lucky you :-)

If you have just been rebuilding something on the bike and actually want it checked, it's good that you are going to a motorcycle mechanic.

VTNZ inspectors can not locate their own behinds when provided a map and detailed directions.

Yep, best to go to someone enthusiastic about bikes with years of experience than either a failed bike mechanic or someone who doesn't give a shit about bikes but learnt it for the job.

Not all are like that. Took my bike in yesterday for it's WOF. the tester was a motorcyclist with over 40 years of riding/working on bikes and has been a tester for the last 25 years. Very thorough and fair. I must lower the noise maker somewhat

I am sure you are right and although my statement above probably covers the majority, there are no doubt a few good 'uns hidden around the place.

Having said that I'm not risking it, bike specialist for me all the way. I'm not one of those people looking for an 'easy WOF' if someothing's wrong I want to know.

I was of the understanding that if it is booked in, then riding to and from is fine.

Good luck

Where is 'kawa crasher' or what ever his handle was, did he win or LOSE, LOST, LOOSER LOOSE or whatever his court case about 'bringing a vehicle into compliance'.

Sorry man don't understand?

My understanding is that it is OK to use a vehicle on the road for the purposes of obtaining a wof. Just what this covers is a bit of a grey area tho. Could be up to the individual cop as to whether he let you off or not.
However, if you have no reg - that's different. You can't get a reg without a current wof, but you are not entitled to a vehicle on the road without a reg. Again, individual cops may let you off, but it's not covered by any legal proviso.

I think by the sound of the NZ police website & NZTA that I will be OK going to a pre-arranged appointment ... that's for the WOF.

But yeah you're right about the rego, you're buggered either way, can't get it without a WOF and can't get to your WOF without it! Who thought that one up!! Fuck it will just risk it, I know a few of the cops round here so hopefully will get a friendly one!

thats why its silly to get WOF and rego at the same time and have them so the lapse at the same time. I always stagger mine so ive always got at least one

Aye fair play but not an option if you've been rebuilding it over several months.

Hi can someone tell me how I can get in contact with Teko Automotive? I want to do my WOF through them.

Funny, I did exactly this at about 1000 this morning......and was wondering on how safe I was - (I knew the bikes safe I look after it, but from a legal standpoint).

Yet again the VTNZ had no motorbike guys on, 5 times in a row now (I'm sure they just can't arsed) so sent me to some guys home garage who does it down the road.....I shit you not it's called Teko Automotive......lol.

Was bloody awesome, guy was really good, checked it over properly (much better than the VTNZ guys that ask ME what's what with the bike ) saw me straight away and it was done quick smart, yet checked better than the much longer VTNZ process.

I have no faith the the VTNZ in GLenfield- they gave my husbands bike a WOF - I saw him ride it into the testing area, I noticed he had no brake light! Still got a WOF though.

Thank you.....will be visiting them tomorrow
