Best Frenemy you could have!
You mean what features you should look for?? The following is from ?Vifferman? courtesy of another post he made a while back (I'm also looking)
* Non-slip sole (rubber, rather than plastic that dissolves when walking in spilt petrol on service station forecourts).
* Waterproofing of some sort.
* Warmth / padding.
* Heel, toe, shin, and ankle protection (usually via plastic inserts / cups between the outer boot and lining).
* Protector on top of the boot to stop the gearlever eating the boot.
* Firm closure/fastening of some sort, to stop the boots coming off if you crash.
* Reasonably good construction, to stop them coming apart through normal use or in a crash. (Sidis are usually very good, whereas as some AlpineStars' soles come away from the boot very readily).
* Good fit (more to do with size than manufacture).
* Comfort (on the bike at least, although being able to walk in them is a bonus).
* If it's a sport boot, replaceable sliders.
* Reflectors.
* Style (for posing).

Well... And if to buy boots, not special for bike, but also suitable to ride in them, where to look for it and how to choose?

What is MotoMail?

Hi Dart, welcome to the site and NZ. One of the good places to look at boots is Motomail as previously mentioned, another good place is Cycletreads in Barry's Point Road, Takapuna, Good range and friendly staff.You could try Colemans Suzuki or Mt Eden Motorcycles, which are both a bit closer to home for you. Choosing the right boot is often a matter of taste and style, army boots are good for anything and can be found in Doyles shops, there is one in the city.
Your english is going great, well done, coming to a strange country and learning a new language is a difficult task, good for you.

Motomail is the name of a store in Kingsland, not too far from Mt Eden. You can find them on the web http://www.motomail.co.nz/
or look them up in the phonebook.

Another question...
As far as I understand, there are two mileage indicators (odometers). One is constant, and it indicates the total mileage, and the second can be reset. But how to reset it?
Here is photo of indicators:

There will be a button on the dash that you would push. Bikes might differ tho, like mine has to resetable mileages.
Same as cars mate.

Aargh, photos!
A belated welcome from me.
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
Look Ma, no hands hehehe
See the little black knob sticking out on the left side of the speedo...
that is what you turn to reset it.
When you refuel up with petrol, then turn it (upwards) so that all the numbers are all at 000000. Then you can see how many kms you will get to a tank of fuel.
