[Hewie]

i'm looking for a REALLY good bike mechanic .. anyone got one they trust ??

i want to have the bike gone over and sorted for me.... with out the shit

[ waits for "go to causeway honda .....tell em perthextreme sent ya" ]

[Dragon]

Don't yell at me Deej,
but I have found Mike from One on One motorcycles in Malaga is really good... Tell him I sent you

[Hewie]

thanx dragon ..

wat does he normally charge u for a full service ??

[ChOOkiE]

FULL FULL service or FULL service?
he's pretty expensive.. I got charged about $500 or so by memory *looks at the burn marks in his wallet*
He usually is quite good though

[Hewie]

wat ever going chookie ...

$500 ... thats not ..tooooooo bad .. umm *looks in empty wallet*

umm yeh ..

wat did u have done tho chookie ??

[Dragon]

I think full service is (been a while since one so I might be wrong) $400 - $500 or so??
I'm having one done very shortly actually and chain, sprockets as well, I'll let you know if u wants?
He may be a little bit more expensive, but considering the difference in feel afterwards compared to two other places I had my bike done, it is worth it!

[Hewie]

yeh mate if u dont mind .. let me know wat he slugs u and wat he did for u ....

cheers

Actually, on the same topic... As I've just had a new Devil (Titanium!) exhaust put on, I now need to get it on the dyno/find out if it's running lean, etc... Can anyone recommend a good place to get ths done? I've had Dyno Time recommended from the bike store (Mack 1) but if there is someone people already trust, it'd make me feel better.

Although the guys down at Causeway Honda are good people I've also found one-on-one to be very good to my old zx-12r. I'd reccomend them.

Oh...500 bux is kinda standard for a full service...yes the wallet does hurt.

[Hewie]

*cringes at thought of $500 evaporating*

still its better than my SS used to be ... 2k a service..

[Pete]

still its better than my SS used to be ... 2k a service..

wtf
for that amount i hope u talking about SS (Space Shuttle)

what did u have done to cost that much...

[Hewie]

96 vs series ....

ummm 230 kw 5 litre.....

great toy .. farkin expensive tho ..

um lets see .. 2K easy..

the fluids alone used to cost me $350 - 400
thats also having my brake pads done each time ... gearbox and diff service... full engine service .. dyno tune now and then .. off car throttle clean .... all that shit... it was costin me 7 - 8 k a year to keep on the road ..

but haven said that .. the look on a turbo ricers face when u took their doors off witha commodore was worth it ... i did a standing 100 in just under 6.... :twisted:

and the car looked standard... just low and a tinted.... didnt sound standard tho .. at full open throttle it was farkin load ... *tilts heads and thinks* that might of been as it didnt have a muffler on it tho .. :twisted: :twisted:

hmmmmmm

[Hewie]

and now i have a farkin lil excel ......

talk about a let down

thank god for bikes ..

[ChOOkiE]

Mate's rexy does 0-100 in 4.45 .. not too bad, pretty quick off the line.. but still doesn't come near bikes

[Hewie]

wats ur mate done to his rex ??

i had a full engine rebuild (stage 3) . 85mm throttle body and a new superchager planned for it about march this year .... that would of given me some where near 350 kw (est) ........ that would of been great...

thats the benifit of four paws ... grip..... i couldnt keep the rears in traction and use full power ...... and had to drive like a granny in the wet ....

nothing worse than doin 90 kph putting down ur foot and looking out ur passenger window going fark thats a bus....
