    New to NZ Biking

    Hey all.
    Delighted that this forum exists and hopefully get in touch with other bikers to go for a ride now and then, I've had a general look around the site and there are a lot of headings to get through, very interesting on the whole. So well done to the administrators for having such a usefull resource.

    I got a bandit a month ago and had a few rides around, be doing heaps when the summer arrives.(and the deck is finished!!!) my previous riding was 6 years ago in the not so sunny climes of Scotland, when it isnt raining the riding is however fantastic

    Would like to know where the best places are to look for Protective Clothing, Boots, Trousers, and Jacket.

    Cheers

    Motomail, they are on western springs road I think off new north road. the people are good and helpfull but best of all the have really good prices and there sales cant be beaten.
    Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.

    Welcome, it is good to have another Bandit Rider on the roads. Motomail I would agree is the best place to start.

    Greetings and salutations
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    I'll see you there then?? I have to be there if I want to get my hot little mitts on a very nice pair of Stylmartins at 20% off....

    Wouldn't mind riding some gir...bikes. I meant to say BIKES. Not that the learners license would offer much...

    Welcome Gontour to the madhouse, don't be afraid, most of them don't bite. :spudbooge

    edit: Why, that is a luvurly profile pic
