[marty]

yeah, but are they truly happy?

[Big Dave]

I get paid to ride new motorcycles. Fuck 'em.

[pzkpfw]

yeah, but are they truly happy?

And is it as much just to make them work longer hours by not wanting to leave the office?

[mashman]

and they get paid too... :rofl:, nightmare... couldn't work there :shit: We used to have the pub downstairs for afternoon meetings :2thumbsup (sometimes on the company too)

[jaffaonajappa]

Ha. Reminds me of my mate in the Airforce. No shyte - almost the same perks......except for two things.
The massages were not company endorsed, but usually had happy endings, apparantly.
The Air Farce paid less. Them google guys are probably on a reasonable pay scale :P

You're on the money there, that's exactly what's it for. A lot of that shit has been rolled back in recent times too. Don't think the food is free any more.

nearly ruined motorcycles for me



I've heard that said before - usually by industry types.

No such affliction here.

Can't see how that could happen.
The only thing that could ruin it would be if it rained lots, but then i would just jump onto a dirt bike.

I've got over a million miles and 50 years up, Junior.

[Brian d marge]

beat me by five .......

Stephen

[Big Dave]

Stephen

I might be exaggerating.

[BoristheBiter]

I might be exaggerating.

Yes, a million miles is slightly pushing it. :bleh:

[Big Dave]

Yes, a million miles is slightly pushing it. :bleh:


I've told it 10 billion times.

[schrodingers cat]

yeah, but are they truly happy?

Like money, it leads to a better class of misery

[Brian d marge]

I might be exaggerating.

Years, but you got me thinking and I tried to add up the time spent on a bike ( Amsterdam not included ..)

I mean if you work in the industry , and spend hours a day, on a bike , then ride in the weekends .........I wonder if its possible

Have seen some taxi's and trucks approaching the 1M kilomentre marks.....albeit "some" of them roster their drivers / share the vehicle. But not all of them. And if the taxi/truck is 9 years old...Im guessing some people are driving 100,000k per year?

Surely riding could be similar.

This months Kiwi Rider mag - a guy clocked 134,000 km on his 250 within 4 years. He works, and the k's are all here in the north island (i think).
Some serious saddle time = especially considering he works - not some kid on the dole etc.

So, 36,000 per year.
1 million k's in about 28 years. Achievable.....

1.6 million k's (1 milionm Miles). Damn.....even someone riding a lot would likely take 40 years. (40,000k per year.) But yeah, achievable. Unless they are in their 20's and claiming this....
