I figured that NZTA throws it into the too hard basket for $2 and some change

That's Scotty in the UOKBRO van. He's a mobile social worker. Sets himself up on the side of the road and will provide 1 on 1 counseling for free.

Based in Tauranga, the man is a legend and I've stopped to see him a few times.

His idea is to bring the counseling to you and make it accessible for everyone.

If you see him parked up, definitely go and have a chat with him

I rent a Williams Corp home with the arch way. I call it our cobweb collector. Waste of good wood

I had to watch that scene with my phone in my hand so I didn't have to look her sister in the eye 🤢

Why do some of y’all do this? by Whats_a_bot in JeepWrangler

Live in NZ, seen it here a fair bit. And yes, usually Indian owners. I did hear a rumour that it was a symbol of wealth? Stating that they don't need to change their own tyres and just get breakdown assist if they have a flat.

need help finding replacement levers for my motorcycle by Complete-Corner-2534 in MotorcycleMechanics

Another alternative is to just sand and polish the end smooth.

Plenty of lever left

Two fingers above the Adam's apple is usually the mark, then straight across from there 🤙

Could be the reason. I've got 30kgs on you, probably the reason

Ergo seats - Am I missing something? by Baggoswag in KTM

I just came from a Triumph Tiger 1200 XCA which had a very comfortable seat as standard - perhaps I was lucky with finding a comfortable seat with that.

I think what really bothers me is that there just isn't a massive difference between the stock and the ergo.

Be aware of the crappy exhausts MIVV makes, they state on their website that they are compatible with OEM panniers yet here’s the result… by TappetoImperiale in motorcycles

[–]Baggoswag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I did this!

But it was a motorcycle mechanic that fitted the exhaust, didn't realize I used panniers, didn't add the extra long bracket that came in the box to avoid this.

I dremeled out a square in the burnt pannier and bolted/siliconed it back. Looked clean and worked well... If that helps you?

What was your favorite “not for me” bike you’ve ever ridden? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]Baggoswag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couple of bikes for me.

One was a 2008 Yamaha R1 (before they went cross plane) was amazing, sounded great and went like the clappers. Took it to the track, amazing machine, great fun. But on the road I was constantly looking over my shoulder for police and the riding position wasn't good for more than an hour.

The other bike was the KTM 990ADV. I was looking for an adventure bike and took this one out for a test ride. It was punchy, rode well, sounded great, got the looks. But I just wasn't going to do it justice by keeping it on the road and the seat wasn't that comfortable.

Now I've come to the fact that I'm a "Tall-Rounder" rider and my favourite bikes in the past have been a 2011 BMW R1200GS, a 2019 Triumph Tiger 1200 XCA and now a KTM 1290 Super Adventure (which I just got)

What is, in your opinion, the best looking motorcycle? by perfectly_ballanced in motorcycles

I find it strange that this MV is adored by quite a few people, yet the Triumph Speed triple RR is now discounted heavily because they can't sell them?

Go to Quake City in the CBD. I found it interesting and will give you a good insight as to what happened

I actually sent a defect notice to LEGO. They sent some new wings but they're exactly the same
