    Howdy

    I have bought my first bike recently (CBR250RR) and was wondering can anyone recommend a good mechanic? I am a bit wary about just going into any ol' place, being a girl I am worried that I will get ripped off....

    Cheers

    he serviced my cbr250rr and did an good job for a good price

    he'll also come to your house so you can sit around and he'll explain what he's doing if you ask him.

    Ex Veetwo so knows Duc's backwards but works on all bikes.

    The day before the Nannup trip I took my ZX6RR racebike to Northside Kwaka but they had closed down (after I'd booked) so I made an emergency cal to Justin & he was happy to do the work. Does a great job, meticulous work, & well priced given the quality of his work (not particularly cheap but well worth the money). He's a fitter by trade and can do most mods himself. He built he engine in Wayne Patterson's turbo Ducati dragbike. He rebuit the engine in the Duc in 3 days a while back too.

    Highly recommended.

    Morry FTW, a bit far from Yokine tho.

    I heard lots of good things about Justin at pro Twin too but have never used him.

    I had a bit of work done on my bike recently by Justin and have booked in with him for it&#39;s next major service.

    Great bloke, awesome knowledge and spot on work.
    A word to the wise ain't necessary --- it's the stupid ones that need the advice.

    Derek has serviced my CBR250RR a few times as well. I&#39;ve never had a problem and he was much cheaper than my local honda dealership.

    Highly recommended!
