Hey guys i thought it might be quite cool to start a thread for stories from the Brass monkey.
I started to head down with a mate and got to just past Rakaia and my bike started feeling funny. I pulled over and had a listen without my helmet and sure enough sounded pretty bad aye... Decided that i didnt want to get caught out half way between christchurch and nowhere so i left my mate to continue on to dunedin and then onto the brass, turned around and limped back to christchurch at 90kph the whole way. Got passed by a truck and numerous family wagons (quite embarrasing really:brick:). In my just over two hours of riding i saw 5 'policepeople' (gotta be PC about these things:whocares: ). Pretty bloody ridiculous if you ask me. Anyway i was sitting at home that night having a quiet one and got a text from my mate:
him: i lost my licence ay
me: you lost it? how?
him: Got busted at 145 ay, 28 day licence suspension
me: that sux man i thought you had to be over 150 to lose ur licence?
him: yeah they reduced it to 140 ay, bastards
me: Howd you get caught?
him: he got me from ages away
me: man i hate the 5-0
So that was my fairly unsuccessful attempt at getting to the Brass:
Let us know about your experience on the brass... Good and bad.
