    this gets my goat

    They are in desperate need for this road and what happens. did anyone else notice that less than a week after road tax went up 5c a litre there talking about tolls. just after your wallet if you ask me. i know they need the road and i know the tolls only gonna pay for half of it but this just sounds like another excuse to rape and pilage us.
    I'm off to the pub, I may be sometime.

    Heh - Question for the old timers from Dorkland. What's the fastest you ever blasted through the toll booths at ? (having carefully removed or covered your rear number plate) .

    I think my fastest was probably only about 60mph, but I know one guy who went through at 100+mph . Usually I was a good lad and stopped and paid the toll

    There was always at least one cop car at the control office,I was never game to do a runner...I woulda broke down before I got too far...I have gone through ''en mass',but they tried to stop us riding en mass didn't they?

    We ran out of gas towing a car over the bridge once late at night - we didn't give a damn,it was a bit of fun watching them buzz around in a flap and get us some gas to get going again.

    i currently live in the puhoi area and commute into ak central. been doing that for years, was severly pissed off no end when they decided to lower the road speed down to 80kph from hatfields to other side of waiwera ( johnsons Hill). and then started trying to make the roads afer with numerous road works and different sealed surfaces. well bloody hell the problem was that people just don't know how to drive when they come to a corner.
    it's calle driver education. and the 80kph well shit talk about taking the fun out of riding.

    the new motorway will probably be tolled for a very very long time if not for ever.

    i know one of the contractors on it and the stories i have been told about are amazing.

    trainiees on d10's yes that is right a trainee driver driving a d10 dozer.

    so much enviormental stuff its a joke. i saw a bird! shit move the motorway around it. oh no it flew away carry on.

    it is probably one of new zealands most expensive roading jokes in all history.
    and i'm gonna be paying for it for a long time.

    sadly i have had enough of the usless rodeny council and have brought a little place in mt eden.

    i'll miss the beauty of the area but not the politics or people.

    Reckon you should be charged $10-00 per day for trolling
