where is HB
evil one
here,s the real deal on being a sprint couriers, i was one for 6 years for a company called deadline, money was good at the start 8,000 per month then over the years it dropped down to 4 to 5000 per month , motor cycle couriers on do inner city work around 4 to 5 dollars a parcel, you get a run from bottom of city to top may get 4 jobs at time most city work is 15min jobs pick up and go, you need a good bike and willing to work every day

I think I've seen that dude a couple of times around newmarket... had an Autobot logo on the bike too

I did a few months as a courier in Auckland between jobs in 1985. Back then it was a bloody good earner. Just after I stopped faxes became popular and most of the document business dropped away. Don't see nearly as many couriers now.

I'm in between jobs at the mo and thinking of the same. I tried to send a same day document via courier from home (Warkworth) but local couriers don't do it. So could be a market here. Can pick up the whole of Hibiscus coast as well on the way down. NighthawkNZ metioned work for courier companies as well so who knows. Worth a shot.

A littlle off topic, but I saw the same guy and I couldn't believe how nice the bike sounded. I was pretty surprised when I got closer to see it was a 250r and not a 650. The can looked stock, so there may have been some baffle drilling at play, but it reinforced my thoughts - I want one!
