  1. rego new bike in NZ

    I'm heading back to NZ in December and will be wanting to register and ride a 74 Z1 900 I sent back home earlier this year. What's the go with registering older bikes do I need to do full rego or is there a cheaper option, I'll only be in NZ about a month a year for now. Also who is the best Insurance company to insure an older bike with?
    Cheers Kojo

  2. Restricted Practical Test Auckland 2018

    Hi guys,
    I have been riding motorbike for 10 years oversea, and just got the Learner licence in NZ.
    They say there is two options for a Restricted licence that go directly from learner to restricted, and go through CBTA.
    What would you recommend?

    Thanks in advance

  5. My Honda CBR400RRn NC29 Project Bike - Clock and Fairing Stay Restore

    While I was busy working on stripping my fork down for the project CBR400RR NC29 I of course need to order parts and so during that downtime I was busy working on the clocks, lights and front fairing stay mounts and brackets for the bike. The brackets were in an abysmal state as you can see here:




    The front of the clocks look bad enough but the backs a total mess.

  6. My Honda CBR400RRn NC29 Project Bike Part1 - Fork Rebuild

    When I got my CBR400RR NC29 I knew I had a lot of work to do to make it presentable again in polite circles so i decided to get stuck right in and began stripping the old girls clothes off ready for a bit of much needed beauty therapy. I decided to start with her pins as its always good to see a pair of slim legs working well kitted up nicely and I had to do something. The no1 issue I had was that the garage I had my old girl stored in was more like damp leaky dungeon than a real workshop but its ...

  8. My Honda CBR400RRn NC29 Project Bike - Introduction

    I went crazy in the head a few months back as its been so long since I had a ride that I simply had to buy a bike. I am a bit of a fan of old school 400s and 250cc two strokes and often troll trademe and other online spots to see whats for sale out of curiosity (I am one of those people that watch auctions and don't bid often haha). While I was hunting a month of so back I came across a Honda CBR400RRN NC29 and the first thing that entered my head was the fun I had riding one at the dealership years ...
