First word Ross MacKay

Dave Wyatt (aka The Gastrom Rider) is a great bloke, and he sure gets around.

Just before Christmas he invited me to tag along on a ride to a place – typically – he had heard about through the motorcycle grapevine, the Nikau Cave Café at Waikaretu south-west of Auckland.

With a Harley-Davidson Road King in the garage and a rare Saturday without any work on I met Dave at a gas station on Auckland’s Constellation Drive and we headed south.

Neither of us was in much of a hurry and with Dave’s modded Kawasaki VN2000 rumbling away ahead of me I settled in for what turned out to be a pearler of a ride.

Now if you want to visit the café yourself please do, head in fact to www.nikaucave.co.nz to check it out and get instructions. Just don’t ask me. Dave had a sort-of idea where he was going though (check out www.kiwirider.co.nz for an entertaining little video of the ride) so I just kept him in sight and allowed the warm eddies of early summer air to wash over me.

With Philip McDaid. Enhanced control.

Wonderful missiles.

LIFE’S TOO SHORT You never really know with cafés, of course, particularly ones (usually in the city) which have just changed hands, or those on heavily trafficked main road routes. Life, as they say, is too short to put up with bad coffee.

I simply can’t speak highly enough of the quaint, quirky Nikau Cave Café though. From the wonderfully tight and twisty sealed road down the valley to get to it, to the simple, unpretentious building, the ever-so-slightly reserved (typically country NZ I’d say) welcome and service, and the quality of the food and coffee, it was everything Dave Auckland Courier Address: 127 Moire Rd, West Harbour, Auckland.

REGULAR CONTRIBUTORS: Roger Moroney,

had heard it was and more.

As hosts Philip and Anne Woodward say on their website, the café is so much more than a building, or just a café, it is a ‘place for people.’

While Dave and I were there a steady stream of patrons wandered in and out of the café, some on their way to visit the adjacent caves, others – like us – content just to relax and enjoy the ambience of the place.

Several others turned up on

‘As hosts Philip and Anne Woodward say on their website, the café is so much more than a building, or just a café, it is a ‘place for people’ motorcycles – a mix of traditional road as well as adventure and cruiser models – but most arrived in cars. As I’ve already said, the café’s not easy to find, but when you’re a motorcyclist that’s just part of the appeal isn’t it?

JEWEL IN THE UNDERBRUSH New Zealand being New Zealand, of course, the Nikau Cave Café can’t be the only little ‘jewel in the underbrush.’ I know, the best Flat White (bar the ones James brews specially for me at Auckland’s downtown Shed 5) I’ve ever had was in Oamaru and one of my own favourite café finds was in Lumsden, half way between Invercargill and Kingston at the bottom of the South Island.

If you’ve got one of your own – and which our Gastrom man hasn’t covered, flick us an e-mail to editor@kiwirider.co.nz. It’s got to be special though….and no voting for your own slop joint! ■

Distributor: Forbes & Davies Incorporating an innovative CEcertified airbag system the new Helite Air Nest Vest takes rider safety to a new level. If the wearer is thrown from his or her motorcycle in an accident the airbag vest instantly inflates (within 100 milliseconds) to protect the rider’s upper body. Activation is via a coiled wire connecting the motorcycle to the airbag vest. If the rider is abnormally separated from the motorcycle, the coiled wire triggers the release of CO2 gas to inflate the air cushions, protecting vulnerable parts of the upper body from serious injuries. After a few seconds the vest deflates automatically. Once deflated, a new cartridge can be installed and the jacket is ready to be re-used.

Practical, simple, effective – The Air Nest Vest is available in both Black and Hi-Vis in a range of sizes.
