[crazymofo]

hehe you could be forgiven for thinking i was joking with a thread title like the above.

but anyways...im this will turn into a list of sorts of reputable bike mechanics or stores, that'll do the right thing by you.

i'll start:

Stu from www.austreetfighter.com.au .. geez that was a tough one :P

another:

mad mick/goodna tyres
ph: 07 38181208
comment: 20min from bris CBD.
has excellent new tyre prices, service can be a little slow, but shit the tyres are cheap!


carry on chaps :D


cheers.joe.

P.S i know we in general like to work on our own bikes, but theres somethings you just cant be arsed doing or just dont have the tools for. least with this list we can find some decent help

[fimpBIKES]

i would love to vouch for the great blokes at

Greame Morris Motorcycles
in Broadmeadow, Newcaslte

they are always willing to stay open that little bit longer
and even though they are quite happy to endulge all my ecentricites

and they have a nice big stack of old tyres out the back open to the public ;)

[clairebear]

t'other is just a personal opinion based on experience.
mind you (some) people do change...

[hooligan]

Mark is a decent mechanic, especially considering some bike shops won't touch bikes that are more than 10yrs old... or modified.Always done okay by me.

If you want a dyno run a highly '''dont''' recommend Parra Kawasaki.

We dont touch old bikes (what cause you cant just download a map off the web and update the EFI and charge me $250 - what you actually gotta know something to work on carbs then mate - not to mention its still a current model bike dickhead).

Ok then well give it a go...1 day later - heres your bike back not jetted too well and we broke a couple of side panel lugs for your problems...but well let you find that out when you get the basterd home.

Do I have any luck with Kawasaki - Parry's when they were around dropped brake fluid all over my staintune exhaust - yes they do stain.

Thats what you get when you take a fuckin suzuki to a kawasaki dealer..
