WOF on the North Shore

[peterpan]

wheres a good place to get a bike WOF done in the Takapuna/Devonport area?

[gammaguy]

we take all our rentals to the testing station in Saturn Place.(off Constellation Drive)they are as good as any,unbiased,and not being a bike shop,they arent interested in selling you a new set of tyres or whatever.

Thats where I get all my warrents. You need to book in, and they are always on time. Ask for Andrew, he is/was a biker.

Take a pleasant short ride to Whangaparaoa and go see Tim, (Classic_Z), at David Sidwell Place, Hibiscus Coast Service Centre, 09-424 0477.

He's a good bloke and rides a Z1300, but we don't hold that against him...

Sounds like an unlikely place to go for a bike WOF but they were recommended by Holeshot and I found them very good & helpful.

Personally I wouldn't go to a testing station. A friend's bike failed his warrant at the Kingsland testing station the other day because his indicators flashed too fast (more than 3 flashes per second).

Meanwhile the tester took this guy's SV1000S out for a road test without telling him he was taking it. Rode it around for about 10 mins before bringing it back. Didn't give the owner a chance to point out that the tyres were brand new - literally put on the bike an hour before. Just hopped on the bike and rode away. (My friend has laid a complaint with this guy's boss.)

yes , i must admit i am a bit weary of testing stations, they seem to get great pleasure in failing you on very minor things on a cage. i'm conserned they will fail me for only having two wheels and no doors...

i always get my bikes wofed by Rodger, he's a good bugger and doesn't go over the top on anything. I remember him saying to me the whole point of getting a WOF is to get you back on the road, not fail you.
