    For those who enquired last night re Leather Custom Clothing.

    Motorcycle Safety Wear

    1 St Kevins Arcade, Karangahape Road, Newton, Auckland

    (09) 309 9522

    If you go in person be wary of getting lost, its a little cubbie just at the top of the stairs (hang a right, its a single doorway with leather racks etc if you go down the long flight of stairs you've gone too far). Its unassuming so be warned. You need to be certain of what you want, maybe bring some pics or sketches in to maximise your time and her expertise, she knows what she's doing and is reputable but be realistic cos its leather. Girlies, great corset shop upstairs opposite the cafe...just saying...luscious stuff in there.

    Whatever you get, just make sure the lining is long enough. I got a new Rev'It jacket a few months back, but now that it's getting colder I've discovered that the lining is probably 6 inches too short. I guess it might be OK with textile pants under, but I usually wear Draggin jeans when it's fine and now I get a really cold line around my middle.

    A wool vest does wonders.

    A touch hipster though.

    went for a ride to piha the other night.... once i got there i noticed my throttle was sticking. having cruise control was nice and all, but on further investigation.... my throttle cable is frayed to hell and where it connects to actuate the butterflies looks near impossible to get at even with the tank and airbox off, kill me now

    Normally it will be a pull the carbs job. Yes its a fiddly job but make sure all the adjusters are backed right off.

    Or buy a twin, easy to do.

    I'm clueless. All I noted was that one of those connectors says SHIT on it and I giggled.
