New Plymouth M/cycles have bikes that are not up to their own WOF standard in their showroom! make an offer on the 748 with the arrow cans, the ZX10 with the micron, the bandit with the yoshi tri-oval, gsx1400 with yoshi pipe, sv650 with micron can, fuckin hell even a TL1000 with 2 Bros pipes, and see if any of them come with a fresh wof.
Not to mention the brand new 07 Speedtriple with a Full Arrow system on it ! Not to worryed want be making much of an effort to head back in there again

Excellent Sensei! Wonder how much the sex appeal of the Aprilia had to do with that![]()
I took my bike to the garage across the road today - the guy used to ride bikes years ago but since he didn't have a crash helmet he got me to prove the brakes worked by locking up front and rear respectively while moving - good enuff for him.
My bike makes a lot more noise than it should but it still has the original Ducati muffler on it (just has no baffles in it) I thought words would be had but he just gave the throttle a friendly rev or two, smiled and gave it a big pass on the WOF.
As far as germany being draconian when it comes to modified bikes, it is true they have T.U.V. which is effectively a tighter form of low volume vehicle certification, but they most certainly don't just engrave and paint their bikes.
Germany has produced some of the most radical streetfighters/customs on the planet, check out

Just shows you, the more restrictive the legislation, the more ways people will find ways round 'em.
Individuality is a huge part of motorcycling, and modification will never die!.
see god then brake... kevin schwantz
My FZR thou had an Yoshi RS3 on it, and that was pretty rambunctious in the noise dept, but the testing station guys used to rev the ding dong out of it down at the New Lynn testing station, and wait for the office lady to come out and see what the racket was, then laugh when she went back inside, and do it again. I never failed a warrant on it.
Homer you shot the zombie Flanders !
