Clothing and Helmets Adelaide??

Postby marksesh » Wed Jul 27, 2011 4:00 pm

Ok so I'm looking at picking up my old/ new to me bike in Adelaide.

Fly down ride back. Getting all new kit. As i'll not be taking a bag.

Helmet, Gloves, Pants (Cordura)

Any recommendations on where to shop. Not over the net, an actual shop where I can try the stuff on.

Cheers.
Team 4 minutes behind everyone else.

Where are you picking the bike up from ?? - Would then be able to list a nearby store.

Kawasaki dealers shops in Adelaide are:
SA Motorcycles - http://www.samotorcycles.com.au/ (located at Gepps Cross - about 15 minutes ride North from Adelaide)
Boltons Kawasaki - http://www.boltonskawasaki.com.au/ (located at Richmond - less than 10 minutes ride East of Adelaide)
ZX6R 1998
GPX250 2006 -- SOLD

Dunno what they're like now, but I got a really good deal from Bills Motorcycles at Blair Athol back in 2007.

Your best bet is to have a shop around while you're there as a lot of places should have sales on at the moment.
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

Mark,
When you do get kitted out make sure the SA crew take you out for a blast through the hills..
Out to Lobethal or somewhere like that,then back on the freeway at Mt Barker....they can ride you outa town in style
Would be a shame to go there and not enjoy the thrill of them thar hills.
