    Wellington it is a glorious day to get out there

    Thread Starter: F5 Dave

    Sorry in advance to those experiencing inclimactic weather. But Dogam! It is the perfect day to paint or trim trees or wash the car. Don't do any of those things. Don't even call a friend. Just get out there and ride while you can. You don't work all week to mow the lawn. I'm not...

    Michelin Road 6

    Thread Starter: SaferRides

    I fitted a set of these to the R1 last April. They've now covered 11,000 km during all 4 seasons and now is probably a good time to post a few comments. Like me, you may have assumed the Road 6 is simply an evolution of the 5, as they look similar. But they feel very different on the R1. The...

    A term I've not heard much of, how cool is it that we can tell our mates what we are? https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360924978/dramatic-video-shows-motorbiker-wedged-between-cars-auckland-highway-crash

    Too many new bikes?

    Thread Starter: F5 Dave

    So I subscribe to BIKE magazine, fairly recently with the demise of Practical SprotsbikesTM Hitcher and I have realised it is one of life’s pleasures reading a magazine made of paper of a weekend morning. I’d kinda lost interest in the endless cycle of new bikes, but I’ve dipped my toe back in...

    New Zealand motorcycle wiki
    http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/wiki/

    We have created a new space for Kiwi bikers to place their knowledge of motorcycling in New Zealand. Ever made/seen a post in the forums that was really informative, only to be lost in the deluge of drivel. Now you can place that info in the wiki where it can be easily found and referenced.

    The wiki uses KB logins, so it will log you in automatically. Any member can add or update pages.

    Remember, just like Kiwi Biker, we have created the wiki space.
    It's up to you to provide the content.

      I saw the wiki a couple of years ago, and it was pretty inactive, but I thought it had potential. So I was chatting to a mate yesterday about the benefits of wikis, and pointed out that there was this wiki which might benefit from a bit of publicity and a few keen editors adding content on ride routes and the like. I got home and found the wiki had disappeared!

      Is this a temporary situation, or has someone decided to pull the plug on this resource? If the latter, are there any other NZ motorcycle wikis which allow the public to edit?

      It's not a wiki as such but http://www.adventureridingnz.co.nz/ has many adventure routes and tracks and members can submit new tracks to the site.

      Thanks for that link. It's not what I had in mind, but I'll certainly use it to plan adventure rides. I do like a bit of roughage!
