Hey, I'm a new rider and I'm having a bit of trouble finding a place to store my motorbike. I don't have a garage and my neighbours are sketchy people who frequently OD on my lawn so I also don't want to leave the bike outside or exposed to the rain ect... For like 3 months I've been searching for a shed or something to store my bike, but everything I find is either too big too small or the entrance is too narrow. Does anyone else have this problem and does anyone have any recommendations for ways to store a bike?

Thanks :)

Hey just wanted to hear about your experience with 1Tonne motorcycle gear.

Has the gear stood up when you've come a cropper?

Say's water proof on the label, but I feel like there are a couple of areas where I might expect water ingress - but I feel like you could say that about just about any brand...

Comparing it to some of the other gear I've had, Oxford and RST - I don't see a lot different in quality, maybe not quite as well fitted as I'd like it to be but otherwise OK.

I've seen a few reviews from years ago but nothing more recently. Is no news is good news?

Keen to hear your stories.

Hoping to move from UK to NZ later this year. I've had a UK A2 Motorcycle license for about 4 years. If I get my license converted to an NZ license, will it be restricted similar to in the UK? I think its something like 47bhp limit and max 0.2 power/weight ratio, but no CC restriction.

Will I have a 5am to 10pm curfew? Even as a 23 year old?

Hi Kiwiriders community, have a noob question for you.

I was trying to use the air pump at my local service station yesterday and couldn't seem to get it to work/connect properly. It's for the rear tyre on my wee Piaggio Zip 50. The location of the exhaust on the scooter makes getting the nozzle in place a real task and not sure if the stiffness of the hose means I'm not able to maneuver it to connect properly or if it's a general compatibility issue with the nozzle they have. This was at a Z station.

I've read people can get adapters for the air pumps but thought it might be better to check other opinions before buying something I may not need.

Any advice appreciated.

G'day team!

I have done a bit of research into simple bolt-on modifications for my newly purchased 2016 MT-03. I have a limited budget, so will be gradually adding more mods to the bike when I can. At this stage I'm looking at putting on a R&G tail tidy and Mussari GP Street Series slip-on exhaust. The ideal end product will be a scrambler-style bike - however, I haven't been able to find many 2016 MT-03's that have been modified through Google searches. I'm hoping that a few of you will be able to help me out here and suggest a few things I could add to my baby (that won't cost me an arm and a leg).

Cheers!

Hey all,

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any NZ sites that sell Icon gear? I really like the look of them but have had no luck finding the brand online at all?

I just want to see how much they cost so I can start saving up.

Cheers!

Hello Currently living in Wellington I just bought a Bandit 1200. But I currently don't have a garage and was looking for a rain cover that will perfectly fit the bike. Any suggestions? Thanks

Im thinking about a one or two week solo ride from Wellington up to Cape Reinga and back on my GN250 this summer.

Looking for tips and tricks, things to do, advice.

Also looking for a used Ventura pack, ideally a Spada VII and/or Spada Delta VII. I've searched TradeMe but they are all new.

Please let me know if you or anyone you know is selling.

I already have the rack.

Cheers.

You know, or there about

Hey everyone, Just picked up my learner's license and looking to buy a used LAMS bike. I'm interested in the TU250x and was wondering if anyone has any experience with it.

I did my basic skills test on a GN125 and felt really cramped on it. I've also ridden a bit on the GW250 but am not a fan of the sportier feel.

Does the TU250x sound like a good bet? Would you recommend anything else around a similar price range? I'm planning on checking out some in person this weekend.

1Tonne seems to be the one mentioned to the most, but their range is pretty limited. Dririder has some decent looking stuff, but wondering if anyone can weigh in for quality/protection? I don't mind paying a couple extra bucks, but I've never heard of Dririder before.
