What other transport do you have?

[outlawtorn]

I'm really interested to know what other transport my fellow Kber's have? I only have my bike, so if it breaks or something goes terribly wrong and I'm incapable of riding it I am stuffed for transport, there is always the bus, but that would really suck, especially from Whangaparaoa into Auckland.

So what does everyone else do when they can't ride their bike into work?

Are you extreme like this guy in the pic?

[yungatart]

I have a Holden Commodore Wagon
Mstrs has a Mazda 626 Wagon, which is his work car
hXc can get back on his pushie if the need arises

[-df-]

now that guy is hard core...

just a wet weather 4 wheeled bike (read cage...) for when my zx7r is playing up or the weather is crap

[Str8 Jacket]

Ive only got my bike. I only have a Motorbike licence too so if my bike did die then I would be busing it as I live a good 12k's away from work....
Ive actually been really lucky with my bike. Everyone told me that 2 strokers are unreliable and need alot of attention but mines be awesome, if anything has gone wrong ive just changed the spark plug and she's as good as new!

Infact its such an awesome bike someone should buy i!

To a railwayman looks like you have cross sections of railway iron all over your safety shoes.

[The_Dover]

those aren't safety shoes, they're my racing boots.

[merv]

As for transport the two of us have too many things and I keep Land Transport NZ happy paying registration for 11 things every year including the two trailers, but then I catch the train to work.

[Bend-it]

Mine's a bogan-mobile! Toyota Corolla Spacio... 1.6l auto, thing that the Mrs drives most of the time.

We have a Rav4, Triton 4X4 ute and the BMW R1150RT, missus also has an 18 speed bicycle!

Ancient RVR. Can also mibby steal girlfriend's car, take the pushbike or walk.

[Motu]

My 3 bikes are suitable for use on the road at the moment,so my other choices are....

1989 Pajero LWB is my daily runner,and have a Nissan C22 diesel Vanette as the shop hack.But I also use the NX Coupe whenever I can,although it's mine I can't legally own it as there is money owing on it and the guy has done a runner....I'll use it until it gets repo'd,or runs out of fuel.The wife drives her Diamante,and there is another running donor Diamante around too.....then there is the Lada....and the Laurel.There is always something to use - if not I'll go out and buy another....

[craigs288]

Or the millenium fal-coon.
Extractors, 2.5inch mandrel bent exhaust with not enough mufflers and a limited slip diff in the back.
Dare I mention the trans about 200,000km overdue for rebuild.
Fun in the wet, loud all the time. 10km/l on the open road.

[C_A]

don't even have my bike legal yet!
Can't wait til it is. I sink a shitload too much $$ into gas in my daily, not to mention I should try keeping the mileage down given that it's genuinely low.

daily/project - 1972 MS65 Toyota Crown

fanger/'slowly getting into racing' car - '90 205GTi poojet

For the amount of shit we fling at 4wds, a remarkable number of us drive them! Haha!

[Edbear]

1999 Nissan Pulsar SLX which we've had from new. Apart from regular servicing and being on its 3rd set of tyres, all we've done is change the front brake pads! Still on the original rears at 137,000km!

Recently bought '93 Nissan van, luxo coach, intercooled turbo diesel for Summer cruisin. Nice van in good nick.

Now the Missus is getting back on my bike again I may have to either upgrade to something better for two-up or get her her own bike!

[98tls]

92 GTR skyline and a nanas car...98 miti mirage 3 door....

[hellnback]

I take in the wife's bike when mine's in the shop, we also have an '98 Legnum Family Wagon POS.

[crashe]

1988 Mitzi Mirage Geneva 4 door hatch...... (NZ car not a jap import)
A wee workhorse that only goes out to carry stuff that I cant get on the bike... oh and to carry the granbaby around in.

So it mostly sits in my driveway...... just cost me $240 to get both rear wheel bearings redone.. Im gonna have to stick it up on blocks when not in use as apparently with not using the car the wheel bearing were deemed farked with the lack of the wheels turning around.

So anyone got a decent size trolley jack lying in the back of the garage that they aint using... so I can jack the rear of the car up permanetly except when the car is needed :whistle:

[Kflasher]

The ZX for daily use, FZR for really shit weather, bus for shitter than shit weather.

[SimJen]

Bike only for me, although getting a work vehicle shortly :)
Sold my previous car (Accord SiR with all the fruity bits) to buy the wife a CRV. I then bought a Ute but didn't use it, so sold it and traded my K1 Gixxer on a K5.

[200BUSA]

50cc scooter to go to work,big bikes for fun and a 05 charade sits in garage for real shitty days.

[frogfeaturesFZR]

4x4 Terrano for me, SR 250 & racy red familia sedan for the 'significant other ", failing that.........skateboard !

[MattRSK]

I find it hard running two vehicles. I feel sorry for you people with more than that. It would be all good if we didn't have to pay so much tax. One for all, and all for one I say.

[scumdog]

Enough other transport to keep me broke and with no spare time.:angry:

[Brett]

My wife has a 1992 Toyota Corolla, I have a Nissan 200sx(1996) which i have played with a bit, I have a 2005 GSXR600 and a 1994 zxr250c. I also have a 1991 ZXR250c, but that is sold...just waiting for the guy to turn up to pick it up. If it gets really bad and none of them work, i at least still have my Freestyle BMX bike...although even that has flat tyres at the moment!

[Squeak the Rat]

Dover you Teva wearing hippy, do you want some mung beans with your tofu?

I have a crap car which I use 3 out of 5 days for work.

[placidfemme]

Just my bike and my feet :)



oh... and the bus

Being a plonker, I have a Reliant Robin.

My folks took off to Oz and left behind their Vitara. Only ever gets a run when towing my bros rally car round (which only ever gets a run when he's got money to fix it) so it usually sits dormant for months on end. Will sell it when the time to get a bigger bike approaches.

My current other vehicle is a Range Rover, just to fuck off all other motorists. Mind you the heated leather seats are pure bliss on those cold Christchurch mornings. Wife drives that mostly as our child seat is fitted to it, so whilst my bike is off the road I choose between any one of the 200 plus cars we have in stock at the moment. That's right, other than owning a wankers 4x4 that hardly ever goes off road I'm also a car dealer. Hate me now?

I'm much improved - only last month I had in my garage:

lol, dude I love driving manuals. Sure an auto is easier but if a late model sports car in manual is there I'll grab that. When I last had a decent powered rwd car (personal) I loved getting the tail out, hold the angle with my right knee (left leg is working the clutch) and quickly grab second or third gear. Took a few of the mechanics from work out in a 500hp GTR not long ago, with the atessa 4wd system doing it's job you can keep those puppies in a long drift. On my first trip to Japan (holiday, not business) a friend of my wife owned a dynoed 650hp R34 GTR, he chucked me the keys and let me drive for a couple of hours on the motorway. We got to Nagoya and he pointed to the instruments. I thought he was telling me to watch my speed. That was until my wife (who was in the back) told me he was telling me to run it out to 9000rpm. No need to ask me twice. Big launch from the lights, stepped out sideways, kept it nailed and went through the box as quick as possible (only two gear changes until I realised I was off the 180km/h clock). He was laughing so hard, couldn't stop shaking my hand after we stopped.

Yep! I had that colourway too...At the time I thought it was the only bike I'd ever need. Doris Frimmond put paid to that though... Doddery Doris pulled out in front of me in about 1970 and I T-boned her and went for a short fly. The CB350 was no more....plod did Doris for DWDC&A and I got about £700 for a few scars on my knees. Mind you my knees have been susceptable to knocks ever since! (Sorry folks...gone offtop!)

Haven't come across one of those before, unless it's an Australian model. Is it an R30 or 31, surely not an R32.
