    Wife of a newbie offroad biker needs help!!

    I have hijacked my husbands login unbeknown to him. He is new to offroad riding and has got a Kawasaki 200. Don't think that is the correct term, but that is what I can see written on the bike. It's his birthday coming up and I really want some ideas of something to get him that is associated with riding. He has a helmet, pants and jacket. He has a subscription to Dirt Rider (or something like that). Any ideas? We live in Auckland, if I give him a voucher, what is the best shop? Any ideas greatly appreciated.

    riding gear has to be the best option,i know id be suprised and rapt
    to get any.
    boots,gloves and knee/shin pads are essential for off road
    or a bumbag with spare plug in plug holder and a few handy tools
    would be a great gift.
    ive been out of aucks for over 10yrs so not 100%
    where is best to go and purchase gear,but any bike shop
    that sells dirtbikes will carry dirt accessories also cycletreads
    probably still does? theyre over in barrys point road.
    good luck

    Thanks for all of the replies, it was a great help and much appreciated. In the end I went to Spectrum Kawasaki (I was on my way to Cycle Treads and came across that shop/workshop). The guy was really helpful and I got him Knee Pads, Kidney belt, and a Camel water pack. So all was appreciated in the end. Many thanks to all!
