    The bit about letting Frank service his knob if he turns out to be real was a bit whack I thought.

    does it means the course is not available for international students? i will send a email to check it.
    It probably means that "course related costs" will have to be paid by you, without funding assistance from the NZ government. I could be wrong though.
    Best of luck!

    Why spend time in school when you could be paid? Your best option would be to get a investment/business visa and go into business as a Motorcycle Mechanic in Auckland. No experience is necessary - Hire your family and your good to go.

    Start off on older less valuable bikes & Harley’s until you get the hang of it.

    You can source high quality parts online from China which mostly can be made to fit. Harley’s go back together best with cheap parts that cost a lot so buy those from eBay.

    For the Jap stuff invest in good quality tools from the Wearhouse. Don’t waste your time on Chinese scooters - quicker to drill out the fasters as those have to be replaced anyway.

    Go green to shave cost while building your reputation - (50/50 Dino mix and a coffee filter). Re-gap the plugs, parts cleaner is $2 minimum dispense so take a can with you (go with the regular - it's cheaper), and look for a used pair of Dolphin friendly gloves (get a couple of pairs if the price is right).

    Keep old parts that look to still have some life in them - think about splashing out on $20.00 of used parts for customer who like old parts. Sort the parts into those with and those without asian looking writing on them. It’s a little extra work but some customers are hard to please.

    Your time is valuable - don’t pay for expensive premiums which aren’t needed. Payment before “working” on a bike, english to a minimum - “tank you”, “Have nice day”.

    Oh yea, before I forget, it ain’t China so don’t lane split going to work.

    "So Frank Chen, would you like to tell us a bit more about yourself. If I'm wrong about you being a troll I will humbly apologise. If you a real I have 1998 GSXR750WW that smokes like a dragon. If you can tame this beast and make it domesticated again I will pronounce you me mechanic supreme motorcycle san. Thank you."

    thank you very much for your advice!! really helpful!

    my decision is firm. i really want to go to NZ.

    now, my plan is to get a work/visit visa that permit me to stay in NZ 3 months.
    i can do some repair or mantainance work and know how to buy quality parts from China(cheaper and faster than ebay). when i arrive NZ, by using the 3 months visa, i will try to find a work opportunity or buy a repair shop( if the price no more than $20000) to get a long-term work visa.

    then i will import some fairing parts from China and sell them at low price. for example, a suit of body kit fairing for cbr400 can be sold only $200( installation included). i wish that can help many bikers.

    tks again. you are a good man~

    Do you mean that when you accelerate, lots of white smoke run out from exhaust?

    the smoke is white ,which means your GSXR750WW's engine burns too much motor oil.

    there are two ways to solve it. change a engine or take the engine apart and change the piston rings( by this way, you need to run-in the engine for a long time after repair to get it back to peak)

    GSXR750 is a good monster! maybe you rode it too fierce led to the engine overheating. and then broke the piston rings. keep the radiator tank full of cooling liquid and make sure the cooler runs well~

    in China, to repair this kind of problem, you need to pay $100 for the parts and $150 for a skilled mechanic.

    well, no, white smoke would tend more toward burning coolant. grey-black smoke is oil. but fuck, when you get here i'll let you have a turn on my cousin davina.

    i rode my missus too fierce, but she gave up smoking...
