Repairing of Gear
Gday,
I was riding in the snowy mountians and had a stack last week, the guys at Brighton Kawasaki are great they are fixing the bike for me to take to Tasmania over the next few weeks and then getting ready for Europe. THe ZX9R sure can take a beating. Apart from that my Rjays Jacket has lower arms rips, Gear sack tie ripped off and Diamese pants holes on the knees anybody know if there is a place to fix some of my gear?
- Love sports touring riding :p

Re: Repairing of Gear
Bin is the best place for your gear and grab some new shit whilst in B Kwaka, reality is your gear is badly compromised and be very unlikely to save your arse next time you bin it (if there is a next time). If it's insured then claim it and if it isn't then suck it up and start again.
A good mate will bail you out of jail, a true mate will be sitting in the cell next to you saying "Damn, we fucked up!!!"

if you must repair, try Walkalong in Camberwell

Re: Repairing of Gear
Agreed Walkalong are fantastic for price and quality for repairs to bike gear. But I'm not sure they can do much for textile type gear like dri-rider jackets and the like. Still worth asking though.
I got a sweater for my birthday. I realy wanted a moaner or a screamer.
