Tyre destroying, mad bastard menace
Good Mechanic
Anyone got a preference for a mechanic for the Kat please. I havnt needed to take it in since Ive lived in SA (2+years) but i went around the other day and got responses like.
Kessner Suzuki "lol your fucken joking your bikes older than our mechanics" - when i appeared to be motioning to jump the counter he added "but thats cool I can see the attraction"... lucky lol
Same response from a few other of the majors...
So whats the secret, must be a good ol Big 4 motor mechanic still in existence surely ??[?]

its been difficult to find a decent mechanic of late. Racebike services used to be really good, but after Pete died and a new owner and mechanic took over, it's not been the same. Fubar in lonsdale are supposed to be good, depending on what you need done. kessners don't have a great reputation, I wouldnt take my suzi there. last service I had done on a bike was at SA Motorcycles at Gepps Cross, they seemed to do ok, and gave me a loan bike (a VN900, ummm, yeah, my sv is much better lol but it was better than walking).

yeah give ol mate at fubar a call he seems pretty ligit. and i have heard good things about the mechanic up at the garage, but i am not sure about the $$.
Revken when did Pete pass away? did the other guy stay in the business i forgt his name. Pete did all my work on the ZX7R when i was racing it. top fella

It was a few months ago he died, maybe 6 months ago? I don't think the other guy (Mark I think it was) stayed on, there is a pommie guy there now as mechanic, another guy manages the place. Ive had work done there since, it was ok, guess Im just used to Pete
