Links to Motorcycle stuff in NZ and Oz?
Howdy
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, Mods feel free to move it I thought that maybe it could be good to put any links to websites here if you are allowed to help people out like me! ;) Cheers Scott |
Hi,
I think you are unlikely to find alu panniers in NZ. When I left hardly anyone was using "normal" panniers, let alone alu ones. Try this German site: http://www.adventure-enduro.de/alukoffer/ Cheers, Peter. Don't know what happened to this reply of mine. It was in response to a question about aluminium panniers in NZ. I wonder how it ended up in this thread... |
