Review bikes & Bike products you have owned / ridden ... no cut and paste stuff though !!!
I've cleared this with Wari, btw, in case anyone thinks I am being 'a bit cheeky' (deliberate understatement!) As some of you may know, I am putting together a Biking Website (http://www.motobke.co.uk) . Now features I can write until they come out of my ears. Product tests? Well I've got a...
1Tonne (http://www.1tonne.co.nz/) recently contacted myself with regard to a new Jacket they were releasing onto the market, which they call the "All Season Explorer" jacket. I regularly attend free Motorcycle training held on the North Shore of Auckland referred to as NASS...
Why do I buy from a dealer? (or for those who don't want to read a long post Boyds Rock :Punk:) Here is why. I recently traded my bike on a new (second hand) one from Boyd's in Hamilton. They clearly spelled out the warranty. Outside the warranty period the bike developed an oil leak. I...
We bought FlyingGirls CBR from red barron. he had it listed on trademe as a "parts bike". i gave him a call to find out the reg was on hold, the boys in the workshop had been riding it around for the odd job. it was a trade in that wasn't good enough for the show room, but he felt was too good to...
Is anyone using these? Heard some good things.
BWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH I sell my Viper jacket for $465 RRP $1,000.000.00 now thats a deal !!
Got to test ride a Kawasaki ZX1400 Special Edition today......Snoooooooooooore ! ! :mellow: I almost fell asleep riding it, Seroiusly it was that boring....And had a massive Yawn when I got off. BORING ! ! Next ? ? :shifty: Crazy Steve.
For anyone who might be interested, I fired up our 2 bikes today after them sitting idle for a year. We were off overseas for a 2 year stint - we are home on vacation half way thru, now, so took some precautions to ensure our ve-hickles would be Good-to-go when we returned to GodZone. I'm...

Hi guys, I am preparing for a two week bike touring trip and want to buy a disk lock for my bike. Personally I would buy the Xena alarmed lock so if anybody touches the bike it would go off, but I've heard some rumours that the alarm on these turns off quite easily and by itself. If this is...
This should be interesting given how bad a rap Bridgestone get on KB.... After two trackdays and WAY too much nana commuting over winter I still managed to eek out almost 14,000km out of the OEM BT-015. Hardly what I'd consider a sticky tyre although it was pretty good for road riding it...
What and where The title says it all. $115 for shorty knock offs from Trademe. 6 days (incl weekend) to deliver to rural address and was very well packaged. I bought these thinking that I could try out shorty levers and if I liked them but these fell apart then I’d just stump up for the real...
A calm, cool, sunny morning after weeks of Shitola(TM). Sun on my back, birds on the wing, god in his heaven. What could go wrong? Unwrapping my Shiver with breathless anticipation, I notice immediately that all of the air has gone to the top of my rear tyre. Dead flat it is. Gahh! Thud. Nail...
Morning, Thought I'd do a write up for all those cheapskates out there contemplating an alarm, but seeing whether it's worth getting something off Trademe for $35, or to go the whole hog and get something proper. Having arrived today, will do an opening now and installation tomorrow. Note:...
Sorry if this is a repost, http://www.clamptitetools.com/ It looks as if it could be very handy, "anywhere" actually! :eek5:
New tyres, chain and sprockets fitted: it was time to hit the highway and exorcise some ghosts. The new tyres are ContiRoad Attack 2s. After some indifferent and suboptimal experiences with Herr Continental's tyres before (Road Attacks on an ST1300 and an FJR1300, and ContiMotions on the Shiver...
Hey guys, Just thought id put this out there for all the Hyosung ridres or soon to be Hyosung riders. After taking ownership of my new 2010 Hyosung GT250 I wanted to jaz it up abit. Did a bit of online research and came across this Richard Hyosung who claimed to be selling genuine Hyosung...
The 650DL V-Strom. No, not a mis-spelling strom means river, or current in German (still no idea why it was named after a river), combined with V to describe it being powered by the 645cc 90 degree v-twin that powers the phenomenally popular SV650S, its naked sibling the SV650 and its...
Hi I currently have a Buell XB12R 2009 and am looking for an aftermarket muffler to get a deeper sound and more pull through the midrange. There are a few out there, but I havent found anything easily accessible at a decent price - Until I saw ADRENALINR on trade me in Hastings making stainless...
I like toys – GPS units are nice toys and they do have some use in the real world. This review is of a nice to have toy that works really well. Shortly after GPS units for use in cars came onto the market I bought what was then a top Navman model. It cost close to $1000 and worked well in the...
I've had the mis-fortune of having my bike break down recently and needed a tow back to a workshop. I'm with Kiwibike/Swann Insurance, so I called their break down service (hoping to get a bike friendly tow operator), and Alfa Towing was dispatched. I was marginally worried when he first...
They helped relieve me of some money just fine. Proper tool store, nice range, good prices, friendly staff, will shop there again :yes: Details here (http://www.avontools.co.nz/).
Righto, set of short pazzo levers arrived today from bikewarehouse in oz. Good price ($200 aud) and included shipping. So as you can imagine was raring to get them on the bike. After a bit of a read on t'interweb for "how to"s and after reading again and again that it was really easy to...
I fell to temptation after reading the great writeups on the latest generation Sena SMH10 bluetooth headsets. See here: http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-intercoms/sena-smh10-intercom/sena-smh10-part-2.htm What attracted me to this unit was the ease of use and reliability of the functions...
My Tail Tidy arrived for my Street Triple yesterday so got it fitted this morning and thought I'd add it to here in case others are looking for one. It's worth noting that this tail tidy probably isn't suitable for use on Street Triples where you're using the standard style exhausts, which hang...
Hi all. First post on here after many months lurking about. I thought I would write a quick review about the Suzuki GSX1200 that I have recently bought on TM. She’s a 2000 model and NZ new. I’m pretty sure the frame and engine are much the same as the GS1200? Bike is in great condition and...
