    If someone passes you he is a nutter and you expect to pick him off the blacktop round the next corner, if you pass someone they are a slow and have all the gear and no idea

    Not around Auckland but you could courier it to McDonald motor trimmers in Tauranga (www.trimit.co.nz). Their work is absolute perfection.

    have seen some of his work it's bloody good, well worth the effort of dealing with a co based in the woops.

    The only reason I only ride in the Iron man Class is I have no friends left to enter the two man events,
    my own fault really.

    Best in the Auckland area as far as I'm concerned is

    In Car Upholstery out towards Kumeu, speak to Elroy his work won best interior for the last couple of years at the Auto Salon.

    He is recovering the seat for my Z1300 at the moment.

    Phone number is 09 411 5155

    Modifying car seats is a whole different ball game than bike seats.

    Simple recover they would be fine of stock seat, but any changes to foam, is not a good idea. We have specialist foam made for us which works best with motorbike seats, due to its a fine line for being to hard or to soft
