    Hahaha -- the famous Phil 101, GPA-booster. I took that some time ago when I was at a loss what to pick for my fourth class, and could use an easy A on my record

    @Bomma: I still think the best thing to have pre-exam is a glass of wine, followed by a short black espresso. The red wine mellows you out and relaxes you, the espresso gives you enough juice to run on for the duration of the exam. Tipsy is another thing though

    I accumulated SO many parking tickets in the cage when I was bringing it to university. Bloody parking vampires...

    haha guess a glass of wine and an espresso doesnt equal 3 jugs in 40 mins before the test!!!

    You've already met me Nish - I crashed the bandit on Princes St a couple of days before I joined the club...I remember your green 7R and a scooter in the quad attracting me to your stand

    Will keep an eye on the upcoming rides in my email...

    It's normally parked down at Law School on Eden Cres - it's very shiny and red now after a respray

    haha it amazing how many people have done phil101 for the easy marks.

    still the parking at uni for bikes is way better than 'stalking' princes st for 30 mins trying to park a cage.

    I still feel uneasy swinging u turns on symonds st just so i can get to the bike parking. some people behind me and sweet, others are not.

    Your bike still seems to be coming to uni though. GB400, square numberplate, Union Jack tank protector, Honda stickers removed?

    you mean UCOL ? or there is that other little uni that has a campus in palmy, auckland and wellington....

    only auckland would leave a uni right smack in the middle of the cbd tho i used to park my old gpz down alfred (i think its alfred?) - do the bikes still all park down there? primo spot right in the middle of the campus but if you drive you're screwed....
