I'm keen for some training.. alot of stuff we learn along the way from our own mistakes. The better and more confident I can be when riding a GS, and loaded up, off the beaten track the better the rider I should be on the seal.

in reply to: Wellington City Bike Parking….here we go again….. #12642

I just wish with all of the parking for motorcycles that Wellington has, how is it that each time I head into town that I have to block cars in motorcycle parks… or is it that I'm looking for cars to block in.

Hey,Tried to link my same stuff in... have a look back about 2-3 pages back and you will see a few of the comments.Have a good look around and ask the AA, they can put you onto the right people as well. I found that it was going to be better to take our own bikes into Europe, cost when selling and re-buying etc once in the UK.. It was working out cheaper for the bikes to go over than what it is going to be for us.Ask around, the advice I got was at least you know the bike, how it runs and anything else ublike when you pick up another bike and go.Enjoy, if you're around Wellington pop in.Dave

Thanks,Think I will just put the tent poles on the outside of the boxes.. they just wont fit in.I'm also looking at getting a set of Hepco/Becker Aluim boxes at some stage.  At least that way I can squash a bit more in and also have flat sides and corners instead of the Givi.The price ex Aus seems to be good.

I've had it a few times with the light flashing alternatively on my GS… switch the ignition off then back on and for me 99% of the time the ABS with sort itself out once started.This has also happened to me with the battery in good condition....

in reply to: R1200GS battery #11615

I'm using a battery tender supplied through Motorad in Welly. Seems to be working fine plugged in through the bike.. not sure if this is a good option.

in reply to: Summer road conditions. #11391

I found the same type of stuff on the Taupo to Rotorua Road last night. Lots of smooth seal… at least when heading back to Waiberia it was cost so could trust the road a whole lot more.And remember to watch out for the friendly fokes putting down the loose chip on that tar to make things a bit more grippy.Dave 😕
