    Can any one recommend a space in Auckland to mess around in/get used to a motard/not annoy other people? I have two days leave I have to use this month so during work hours would work too.

    Have just ordered a Husky, can't wait till it arrives!

    Lean it far enough over and it won't matter.

    I'm around Whenuapai on my 'tard if anyone is keen for a ride sometime. Bound to get my full licence soon and loving the motard style... think I will upgrade to a bigger motard soon.

    So, fellow motard riders, have any of you done some mods on your bikes?

    I just bought some HEL braided brakes front and rear, trans red with red ends, kinda looks like this:

    Once that's done I'm going to get some black zeta handguards with integrated indicators and red bars so I can remove the hory stock ones. I'll probably also get some powermadd mirrors which will fit inside the handguards. Will look like this

    I'd like to change the headlight at some point. To what I don't know, but I think that ones a while away.

    New brake lines, case savers and a better skid plate are on my agenda too .. but if you remove the rear foot pegs where are you going to stand when doing the big wheelies ?
