[QUOTE=PeteThePom [color=black]BUT......could one of you point me in the right direction of a GOOD parts/accessories place? By good I mean good on price/range and with people behind the counter who know what they are talking about. Kawasaki knowledge is definitely a plus![/color]

Welcome to the land of the long white cloud/sheep/rain bla bla bla. If you want tyres/accessories then you definately need to go introduce yourself to Kerry at Motohaus (next to motomail in Kingsland). He's a bit of a Kawasaki nut my man tells me, we go there lots. I've also found Mike at Mount Eden MCyles pretty helpful too. For Kwaka parts also try Andy (or Warwick) at Bay City Mcycles (in Tauranga) he'll courier parts up this way, and he's a motorcycle man first and business man second.

Welcome to the site and i look forward to being offended by your forward comments.

[PeteThePom]

Thanks for the advice Draco, appreciated.
As for being offended, whatch this space, it doesn't usually take very long

Welcome to NZ Pete,

I used to live in Middlesex and every Sunday you could see me popping wheelies at Box Hill on a GSXR 750

However, NZ seems to be lacking in a Box Hill type arrangement, but the Kiwi attitude and roads make up for it I reckon.

You're right about the police and speed limit over here. Too slow and too many traffic cars around. It's all game on the backroads though. if you do come accross a cop just gun it and piss off. They can't chase ya, and if they could there's no way they'd catch a dispatch rider on a kwak 1100.

Hi, welcome to NZ.

But hey don't tell them too many good things - we don't want this country growing too fast cramping our free space to ride.

I always tell immigrants tell your friends back home its a terrible place and you wish you hadn't come over as they will all want to come. A few Poms at a time is OK but what if 70 million wanted to come?
