    Yep, marketing of anything that addictive should be considered malicious.

    I recall parties at my parents place in the late 60's early 70's where the house was full of smoke, used to stick of spilled beer and smoke for days.

    What I find really interesting right now in NZ is there is a Govt backed plan to eliminate smoking, on the other had they want a referendum on legalising smoking dope

    Not that I approve of smoking dope (I certainly don't participate), or smoking in general, but dope is actually healthier than cigarettes. Hell, it's healthier than alcohol.
    Not to mention the $$ side of things. Not just in taxing it but also in not needing to convict people for it/commit police resources (which could otherwise be spent on cops watching long stretches of barely used roads in order to ticket people going 120.).

    Hardly the same thing, other than the delivery method. I'm sure a few people smoke weed the way I smoke ciggies, but not every day.

    The health effect is a fraction of tobacco.

    Its going to be a referendum on TAXING dope.

    If it passes, we will see at least as much tax on weed as on tobacco - ie lots.

    Thats why they want it.

    Pretty meh! His worst mistake will be removing the airbox. I bet it is all over the place to ride...
    lol at all the people saying that smoking weed isnt as harmful as tobacco! If you smoked twenty joints a day, it will have no harmful effects? Bullshit!

    I'm not the dope smoking expert, but twenty joints a day seems a lot. As in unlikely huge. Then again it could explain some of the machinery that has appeared in this thread, and some of the prices.

    or not, sounds like the ads written by a real estate salesman

    Lol! Yep pretty out of it!
    I smoked plenty of dope over the years, and very seldom did I meet anyone that would smoke that much, but they are out there! My comment was directed at others claims that it is nowhere near as bad. Sorry to be continually off topic...

    $25kNZ. Totally gorgeous. I rode a mates MC21 SPE the other day (like the SP minus the mags) and it was a fun little toy. He grabbed it for 5k 2 years back while still available. Sadly not in those colours. The 28 is Sexier but heavier with same engine.
    Another mate (Dodgy) has a 28 with 300 kit and reworked R6 front end, radials etc. I know which one I'd rather have and it must have cost a lot less.

    I cant remember what I paid for my MC28 - maybe $3k? It did have some cracks in the fairings, but that was what I wanted as it was going to be a project. You still need to take it for a ride Dave...
