If you build a bike you will have to get full certification from a certified certifier ,
just remember if you build a bike you have to make the engine aswell , as it cant be derived of another bike, the frame and engine must match.
A motorcycle from you country wont work on our roads, because the wheels will turn the wrong way.
p/t?

Nice big chip you have there. Not the biggest I've seen in the murder capital, but up there.

What part of India are you from? Auckland is a great city. Lower your expectations on the party life though!

Na mate, it's called taking the piss, just give back as you receive and don't take us New Zealanders too seriously, it's all fun and games. :)

Hi capnoty. AK is fine. I spent 9 years there before I moved on. Dont let the twonks here put you off. There is a fair bit of racism going on in good ol' NZ, but a lot of us are good people, give us a chance huh? In Auckland, go see Frosty in Henderson. He has been posting on this site for years and I know he'd help you out. I've known him for something like 24 years and he is a genuinely good guy. You can search his name on this site to find his contact details. If he can't help he will be able to put you onto someone who can.

Welcome to NZ, there is room for one more on the road...if you get to Welly, then look me up

take care

O' course we do! Auckland's a great place! Anything you could want is here, except parking... :laugh:

I'd recommend Frosty, too. Millar's Car Centre in Henderson. He's got a few bikes on the lot at the moment...

Btw you can ride on your Indian lisense in NZ for a year. Everytime you leave the country and enter again it is valid for another year from the date of entry. Downside is insurance premiums are higher. I would recommend doing this. If you pick up a speeding ticket while on the I/L it won't count towards your NZ lisense once you convert it. You will have to tell the cops who pulled you over that you have just entered the country and are on holiday. I.e not planning to stay permanently.
