    That defeats the whole purpose of riding a motorbike. If you want to cruise really slow then buy yourself a 20 year old diesel Hilux.
    Very helpful

    He's right though. I certainly don't ride a bike for the free parking.

    Free parking is one reason of the many I ride for.

    I'll take the free parking, but if I don't get a bit of excitement out of riding my bike every day then I really can't see the point.

    Cheaper on gas.

    Takes up less space in the garage.

    Exciting too.

    And free parking.

    You want exciting? Come ride around Christchurch. Near death experiences most days.

    I used to go to Christchurch every couple of months so I'm familiar with the feeling of a near death experience.

    Being serious for half a second, how did Warners in the square hold up? Fond memories of pulling a Dutch backpacker there.

    Gone in 60 seconds, I'm afraid.

    If she was a he then I'll be asking for the same surgeon next time I end up in hospital, he did a pretty good job.

    Having said that, I thought the cheese smell was a bit odd. I just thought it was a Dutch thing.

    Bend the plate, chances are it’ll be front plates that get clicked anyway though…
    If, in their infinite wisdom, they put them on country roads, will they then deduce that everyone will be doing 55kph around 55kph marked corners?
    Will they use the same Reliant Robin to get the speed/distance as they use for the corner speed?

    Got a bloody ticket in the mail a few months back, 58kph in a 50 zone.
    This is on a major four lane (two each way) road though an industrial area that I thought was a 60kph limit.
    I’m such a fucking menace!
    But I’ve learnt my lesson now…

    Possibly it escaped your attention that the only people who get tickets are those exceeding the limit.

    Almost certainly it means that you have a choice as to whether you get fined or not. You exercise that choice by your choice of speed.

    Or is there something mistaken in my assertions?
    Why yes, yes there is.

    No, because that is not the speed limit and there is nothing illegal about exceeding it.

    Yeah it's only the suggested speed (for cornering).
