Focusing on safety/responsibility would appear to be the best way to achieve that.

Apologies, fair enough.

You think a body can pass through air at half the speed of light and call me a moron? Stupid old fool.

Bogan always backs up his statements.

Still waiting on your crash physics info for the thread a while back though.

Ok I'll admit, I didn't read the thread cause for some reason I thought it was only 1 page, and I didn't check the dates. bit of a derp.

Buuut because this is the internet and doesnt really matter I'll let your condescending nature slide.

Where is it that you think I'm trying to tell anyone else how to manage their lives?

You were slagging off the explanation of physics.

I will be going to back to do some more geological and roading surveys shortly. Might even head over to some other lucrative (it means profitable) jobs as well.

It's always nice to come home for a holiday though.

Define old? You'll probably be really old before you pay off your student debt.

All sorts happen on them roads, I was having a spirited ride to Masterton from Alfreton a while back and a cat ran under my bike, it didn't hit anything, but some how got through between the wheels.

Must be the east coast (jeez it's dry over there, poor buggers), came across two lambs on the road heading north out from danniverk on the weekend. Plenty of tall grass they could launch out of with no warning, can see how you could easily get into a situation with no warning or chance to scrub speed.

Dude, a hedgehog could meander through your wheels on a spirited ride

I remembered this thread today, as I turned south at Waipuk. Down the length of '52 I counted 18 sheep on the wrong side of the fence. I might have missed a couple, but in this instance they failed to materially affect my ride. I must say I was happy to see a lot of long grass had been cut on the roadside recently, it made for a more relaxed day.
