I'm moving to Christchurch

[EJK]

Title says, soon I'll be moving down to Christchurch <_<. The transit will happen during early January next year. Well I heard this news from my parents couple of months ago but I was just waiting for a confirmation.

Reason? My parents got a good job down there, and they may need my help in the future so I'll be tagging along till I graduate and independently get a job. Mama boy? Meh..... <_<

Well hear this, in Christchurch I'll no longer need a motorbike since there is no motorway (Well actually there is one) and most of my commuting will be done on a bicycle <_<
Another reason is that (Direct quote from my outbox PM cause I can't be bothered typing):

Another reason of selling my bike is that I cannot save up well when I've got this pain on my ass. You see I'm no 6 figure income person but I'm paying for the insurance, fuel, food (during a ride) and other maintenance fees when I've got this bike. And trust me it's really tough saving with all that expenses! Haha

But overall, thinking on a long term basis, I think I can sacrifce sometime off the road for a nice Daytona/ Bandit. I may not ride a bike for a year or two but I think that'll be a well worth sacrifice in the end!

Some people say "Why upgrade? Just have that bike!" but then I happily replies to them "For once in my life I'd like to cruise at 100kph effortlessly!"


I'll be selling the FXR in Auckland (for a few reasons) So so-long to my dearly awaited bike tour down to South Island! I, here confess, was desperate to reach South Island before Justin's march but the fate says I won't make it.

Here now I lay down my Ambition, Greed and Desire. It'll be Bitter, Sorrow and a great Pity but I will have to forfeit my will. <_<

Anyone interested in a road legal bucket bike? It's already got a 250's carb, Aftermarket Airfilter (in red!), Sticky Bridgestone BT39SS front and a nice BT45 rear, and it's ready to bucket race! If so keep an eye out around late Dec.

<_<

And so it goes, another page in your life is being written anew in the ink of your blood and tears, your teeth shall gnash and grind as others on two wheels of motive power pootle on past ... yet still in your soul you yearn for the sake of riding.

The best is yet to come young grasshopper, let lie fallow your burning desire to bestride two wheels of destiny and instead hone, keen and sharpen your abilities and intellect to match the opportunity that shall present itself in the future.

Remember, you have years ahead of you stretching out into the vast horizon of disappearing black lanes to twisties.

Oh the pity I consume
Hurts more than an open wound
Jealousy will soon reign
Whereas desire goes down the drain
Was to greed a crime?
Will it heal in time?
Meh, soon I'll be back
On a shiny new bike
For now I'll sell my toy
So let me borrow your Daisy, boy!

South Island is all good!

(Chch is a bit flat though...)

[Creeping Death]

I take it you will be burning your Blues jersey before you leave:whistle::rolleyes:

[Slyer]

If he has any sense he's never supported the blues.
ciiiaao mate!

If you're going to be confined to a bicycle, then give it some go.

Goodluck with the move.

[Swoop]

You had better see the eye surgeon quick-smart then!
Get him to remove one of your eyes and then you will blend in with the rest of the canterbury thugby supporters...:rolleyes:

[slimjim]

keep the bike..or better still ride down on it...far too much loveable roads not too down there

[TOTO]

you can always buy a 500 bike off trade me to satisfy that two wheeled desire. If there is a will there is a way I say.

I will be going down south island in mid feb , so may see you there :)

(Different version of teh same thing...)

Christchurch is ok, just stay away from the angry skinhead types that seem to proliferate there.

[TOTO]

we have to have a farewell EJ bbq

[MIXONE]

At least you get to support a winning rugby team.

[Tank]

Hey EJ - I just know you will do well down there - and I'm sure with the lower cost of living you will be on the road in no time.

Im down that way March - I will drop you a PM and I'll take you out for a lemonade!

[Gizzit]

You'll need it .....
to escape from the confines of the Violent Crime Capital of NZ !!!!! :eek5: :crazy:

Good luck down there ..... :cold:

[JMemonic]

South Island is all good!

(Chch is a bit flat though...)

Oh I see you have ridden the Akaroa GP, or the Port Hills, never mind.

Hope you enjoy it here EJK, bring the bike you will need it.

[discotex]

Christchurch is a cool place EJ. You'll have a lot of fun down there for sure.

All those long straight roads mean you won't miss the bike (just stay away from the port hills and the alps).

You're well onto it taking a break and saving for what you really want. There's one signature trait that all self made millionaires all share and that's the ability to sacrifice a little today for a greater benefit tomorrow.

[EJK]

Ha thanks but like Disco said, I'll be taking a break. Pity I know but honestly I can't keep the bike.

I'll be jealouse watching Jaffas touring down to Christchurch but thats how it will roll... for now. Well I'm not gone yet but I'll say "Till then, I'll be waiting" :)

P.S. If I can't sell the bike in time, I'll have to ride it down. Yay maybe I could beat Justin...



At least you get to support a winning rugby team.

Oh yeah big time. They always win :cool:
I lived in chch for 5 years before I moved to Auckley and yeah, Canty rocks.
