Getting paid to ride a motorbike. Isn't life funny!

You mean they work for the local garden nursery...


To the OP, great news on the new position...

Yep, local garden nursery, clandestine laboratory, all same same!
Hooning around on their V rods...

I think having to ride on wet and icy roads for up to 8hrs a day will rapidly take his enthusiasm for the job away.

Hell no! There is a real satisfaction in completing a ride in adverse weather conditions. You should try it some time. The shittier the weather, the bigger the buzz. Besides, HSE ... you're not expected to ride if the roads are actually icy.
Rain? No such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing.

Kinda looking forward to see what the remnants of tropical storm Gita gets to throw at me on the commute tomorrow too.

...can be breached with a 12 gauge?

And sometimes doors are just left wide open for you. Semtex would be more spectacular though.

I used to work at NZ Post as a motorcycle delivery person. It was on CT110s in those days. I hope they give you something a bit more beefy?

Congrats on the job

Im think they still have the CT110s but they also have a fuel injected Honda 125 .... a Cub or Scout or even a Cub Scout.

Im envious of anyone that gets up with a smile and enjoys their job.

Good on you mate, go for it.

Well done.

Big day yesterday. Went and got fitted for my new gear ... helmet, both summer and winter jacket and pants, a pair of gloves and some Sidi boots. Then I went back to work and handed in my written resignation to confirm I was leaving before they had planned that I would.

Funny. Everyone at work is pretty upset that I'm leaving ... so much so that I'm probably the happiest person there about my redundancy.

So was riding as a full time job not as safe as you thought?

Comprehension, D- must pay more attention in class.

Huh?
A) Can't see in the thread where you got that from
B) Haven't actually started yet (26 March)
C) Why on earth would I'd think anything to do with bike riding was safe?
