Was in Taranaki all last week, saw some road works just out of Paritutu on 45 and they're building an expressway into Fitzroy from Bell Block.

WTF are you complaining about again?

Let Auckland have the new roads. We'll keep the best ones out in the provinces.

Now that is a very good answer! Does that explain all the other problems you have up there too?

I think the rest of the country should get more new roads.

95% or all roadwordks around here in auckland are resurficing perfectly good roads and not bothering with the ones that need it. Fucking waste of money if you ask me. Complete idiots are those ppl from the councl. I pay taxes too and I want them used the right way, be it another parts of nz and not only auckland. I ride whole NZ.
Hope you guys get more road assistance ay. Untill then you and I all we can do is swear at the councils.:oi-grr::oi-grr:

I believe that the usual response is that we Jafas pay over a quarter of the taxes that are used to build roads around the country.

To be perfectly honest, I have no idea what percentage of the overall roading budget is spent on the Auckland area, though. Anyone know where to find those figures?

Auckland gets multi-lane motorways (north and south) with 1.5 million people (give or take a few 100 thou.)and the provences get winding bush clad coastal roads with spectacular views, bugger all traffic, bugger all cops. AND YOU WANT WHAT THEY GOT ??????

Because it has to be spent on getting the Killer Beez as quickly as possible to the North Shore and back again.

So why are we worried about them getting "nice" roads when on the bikes we prefer "bad" roads don't we with things called curves and hills in them? Too many motorways and then what, do we all ride Gold Wings with the cruise control set?

We sell them off to all the small villages around the country when a bigger and better SUV comes out. We're doing our bit to support the little people.
