Wanting to get into biking and those that are just starting
We now have the Kiwibiker Mentor programme up and running so if you want or need some help with your riding you can request to be put in contact with a Mentor, all of whom have many years of experience and knowledge to share. They're not Motorcycle Riding Trainers, just riders that have been there...
i started riding not long ago and first got on two wheels at an empty parking lot, like i am sure a lot of others did too. there have been a few posts lately from new riders not knowing where to go to and get started/practice away from traffic, and as a result having to get started on busy roads...

Hey everyone just got my learners license and have started researching whats what in the used 250cc market. It seems that even rusted old pieces of shite from when grandad used to suck his mumas titty are worth more than your average house. and apparently anything that will be fun for the...
I passed my licence almost a month ago and I've started taking my girlfriend as a pillion. I feel comfortable doing it, but I was wondering how much attention id get from the cops being on a 250? She has helmet jacket and pants, do you think having this gear would make it less likely that the cops...

Hi, I know this might sound stupid but please refrain yourself from ROTFLMAOing. I was wondering if it were possible to install a sidecar onto the GN250. I have a friend of mine who is physically disabled, whom I have known for many years, and he wants to come and study with me at...

G/F has found herself a good CBR250, so now the pressure is on for me to find my bike. I an trying to make up mind between: 1990 GSX 250R ($2000) and 1991 GSX 250F ($1600-1800) main questions: is the 250R the same as a GSXR? is there any major differences between the 2 i should know...
In May, I took a Roadsafe motorcycle course organised by the ACC, they in fact paid half of the costs. This course was fantastic, about 1/4 to 1/3 theory and the rest practical exercises on slow speed stability and turning, cornering, braking, situational awareness, path planning, etc. I think...

So went for a ride in the weekend on my fxr150 with my bf on the gixxer and his mate on what i think is a gsxf600 early 90s or late 80s. We rode up behind Pohongina past Apiti etc and half way thru the ride, towards the areas that were more full of straights my bfs mate asked if i wanted a go on...
I've spoken to many experienced riders of late about the subject of blipping (talking about on-road use). My guestimate is about 80% of them say they do it. There are also some notable experienced riders who don't do it, and some go so far as to recommend not doing it (once again, only talking...
Hi everyone New biker passed BHS and now have learners license. I have a Bandit 250 to learn on. Anyway, I'm looking for some fellow learners in Orewa, Silverdale, Red Beach, Stanmore Bay, Whanga area to hook up with .. If there are any and you are interested in hooking up please let me...
I was beginning to wonder if there were points attached to trying to kill a rider displaying an 'L' plate judging by the number of tailgaters I had struck on a couple of rides. And no I wasn't holding up traffic, by tickying at 70km either. :scooter: So I thought it over, and found the best way...

Going for full tomorrow morning (manukau) :yes: Its going to rain:weep: Hope it goes well. Will let U know.
On the way home this afternoon, I noticed this 4x4 following me, no worries as there was tonnes of road between me and the 4x4. Turn onto a main road and this guy is suddenly tail-gating me hard out. I check the Speedo, which was reading 60km/hr so I’m not going too slow. This guy then jumps in the...
So I'm still on my restricted (until this December at the earliest) and ride a ZZR250. Although I'm not bored of my ZZR, I'm keen to ride as many different bikes as possible and I really like the look of 150cc two strokes. I have also seriously considered buying a bucket racer but I have no access...
I have heard that there is a way to skip the learner period on a bike, is this true if so how do you go about it?
Hi all, i am considering a 250 to buy for my learners. I will be using it to get to work over the Harbour bridge and will keep it for sometime as i am in no real hurry to get my full and get a bigger bike (yet??). Since i have time before i need a bike i have been doing quite a bit of trawling...
Crashed my bike for the first time today. Coming down Mt Eden Road, street was cold and slick as shit - had to brake quickly for a stopped car. Brakes locked up, hit white lines with some lean on and the bike just slid out from under me. I put Oggy Knobs on the Bandit (which slid a considerable...
