    Bugga! I see this is a repost. Somedays it seems I should just stay in bed.

    Apologies to the mods

    Who cares Pritch, some of us haven't seen it before so cheers for the repost.
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Kevin Ash is a good bike journo.....I commuted 105 km each way for 3 years including M25...the bike took 75 mins consistantly, the car 75-180 mins typically 120 mins. Most bike riders know that the commute is quicker by bike, most cage drivers know and are jealous

    Having commuted by both and appreciating the very marked difference it is especially hurtful to not be able to ride now! Only the MX5 can come close to being able to get through traffic on four wheels but nothing compares to a bike.

    The savings in fuel and time must be worth millions to a city if enough people took it up.

    On reflection, you're probably right.

    Then the govt could make up some shit excuse to up acc again and the extra revenue from that would offset the losses from people stopping smoking. Seems to me info like this says motorcyling should be encouraged with cheaper rego's not discouraged like it is at the moment.
