Hey.
Saw a lot of bikes at Taupo lunch time today. Some nice machinery on show. That [ Trike works?] Red trike was sweet...( ok its not a bike, but sweet it was) This fickle weather is seriously crap at the moment with four seasons in one day. My helmets on the way but still have not seen the bike for me yet. The XV 1100 still looks like the best bet. If you prefer the upright cruiser style, has to be a v twin and you would like it to handle after a fashion and not be a mother ship for klingons, are there any other options. Leathers or the new generation breathable gear whats the best way to go these days?. Commiserations to those who got wet today roll on February when the rain stops.Cheers

Hey mate, Leather's best for safety and riding in warm weather, Cordura is best if you ride in the wet as well and can be more convenient. Do a search thru these forums and you'll find heaps of comments/opinions on this topic.
