    Send the guy a private message to find out. I guess it's about 20% off retail. If you have a look under vendors, they also have an Ohlins group buy going at 24% off. I am very happy with my shocks, the spring rate and valving was set up to my weight and riding style. Best money I've spent on the bike. If you compare this to NZ prices they are a bargain. The exchange rate is in our favour. The Elka guy is sympathetic to our customs procedures.

    Yep, some of the prices are steep, but they are not making any more. I think bikes should be ridden and not collected, or collect dust.

    Yep, good points. The recent clashes between car drivers and cyclists can also be traced back to both sides not knowing how to behave on the road. The road code covers it well enough. Ads however aren't enough. Licences should be harder to get and not without compulsory training. If they are hard to get, people might make more of an effort to try and keep them. The trouble is that we have too many people who couldn't care less about these things and are quite happy to ignore the law. The less you have to loose, the less your worry about these type of infringements. It's obviously easier to collect money of the silent (up to now) majority, instead of making an effort to sort out the bad eggs.

    Looks like they's had a good turn out in Wellington. I am pretty sure though that whatever we'll end up paying will be too much and closer to what the government wanted all along.

    Wouldn't that be covered by your home contents insurance, if the bike is not registered? You can always give John Baker Ins. a called, they are pretty good.

    BMW forgot to mention that Chris Birch won last year's Roof of Africa event.  😀 I think he was riding some Austrian brand.

    I have written an article which I intend to submit to Kiwi Rider magazine. Do any of you have objections to having these photos published? No names will be mentioned.

    I won't be able to attend this one due to work commitments, so I am looking for a volunteer to lead the ride.
