Talk to the guys at Cycle Treads, Hornet ones are about $180

How do I know? I want some too

There not cheap, but oggy knobbs are some of the best you can buy

Yep, put my Oggys to test on the Hornet a few months back. Saved her from an insurance write off... Don't get cheap ones, they are likely to bite into the tarmac and flip your bike or snap off bits of the frame / engine.

Just got back.

The ride was.... interesting to say the least. I got there, and by 10.30 it was just me and my mate.

So we perused the map for a bit, and off we go. Got a tad lost and ended up at a Mobil at Pukekohe. After fueling up (again), I perused the map again, and asked the station staff if that was indeed the right way. She told me 'Yes, but be careful, watch out for the black ice on the road!

I thought "There ain't no way there's gonna be ice! It's nearly noon!".

Boy was I wrong. There wasn't much ice, but there sure as hell was a fuckload of fog all up SH22. It was so bad I couldn't see 50m even. Was very glad I wore my extra layer. However my pants had a rip on the right knee from my Port Waikato off so that was a bit unplesant with the cold air blasting in through there

. We took it cautiously through there, and after almost 80km of thick-fog-slippery-roads riding, we got to the Waingaro Rd turnoff where we stopped briefly (my left side wing mirror came loose so I had to break out the onboard tool kit). We took some photos as well (Should be posting these shortly).

We then continuted towards hamilton along SH1. Boring and straight

Finally hit Hamilton, pulled into the BK and began chomping when I saw a couple more bikers (One on a the new Ninja and the other on a KTM of some sort) pull in too. Nodded at them etc

And that was it really, after eating took SH1 North, back home.
