Actually it's available in some surprising places. I picked mine up from my local lunch bar in Ellice Road, Glenfield. As far as I know I'm the only female rider in the area so I was surprised and delighted to see it there.

Thumpers Cafe in Whakatane. Go see Glen and the team. They're a bike retail and work shop and cafe all rolled into one. Good food, good people, open weekends, we loved it.

Just been to Thumpers for brekky. It was great. Nice espresso, yummy mince on toast, and a very friendly greeting from the owner before we even got our helmets off. I was only half joking when I asked "if sport bikes were welcome here" as the joint is very cruiser-styled, but i received a very enthusiastic, if not somewhat surprised "hell yeah" in reply, followed by a short chat about KB and bike stuff.

So Thumpers is our new hangout for lunchies etc. They talk about franchising all over NZ so I hope it goes big for them.

Yep. Nelson is screaming out for something like that. We have good bike shops here, especially Filco and Nelson Motorcycles, but there's no place like Thumpers in the area. For a place jam-packed with riders, both local and visiting, I can't believe nobody's set something like it up here already.

Any takers? I'd be ya first customer!

Hi C. Couple of things, Cafe Cuba in Parmy is great - just down the road from ANZA (which is a bike shop that opens on a Sunday!!). It is truely a great way to spend a sunday - spin up to parmy, cruise the bike shop then have some great food in the cafe.

Also I read the suggestion about track days, I have done two now and heading off to my third on Anzac weekend. Cant promise you anything but could write something up and try to get some photos taken.....

Can someone let us all know when the next issue hits the stands so we can all go in search of it (hoping it'll be out by Thursday so I can send my mum a copy in her mothers day package). Thanks!!

I can send you our copy if you want. It has a few fingerprints but no coffee, food or oil stains.
I'll certainly be looking out for the second edition.
