    It is a little bit too risky. Makes more sense to nuke the whole north island. IMHO.

    And Canterbury.

    In less incendiary news, but no less flammable..

    I just read on another venerable forum that Density Church and Shysters inc claimed $127'903.20 in wage subsidies (thus far) during this lock down.

    After today I hope they have to return every cent plus interest.

    We're going to need at least two 350kt to do it properly, one on Chatswood and one on Otara, the good news is that you should be safe in Welly

    Oh thank you, do appreciate it. Would be relatively inconvenient.

    Really struggling with what dirtbike to buy.

    A couple of milestones: The US has now passed 700,000 deaths from Covid, WHO say the world death toll has hit five million. But hey, let's open our borders.

    Yeah been watching YouTube stuff and there are some suspension mods just arms don't cope with getting beat up on some if the whoop tracks. Lower seat height is a must so on my radar.

    I say: drop all restrictions and open our borders by Xmas! Should be enough time for all non-retards to get vaccinated by then?
    To save our hospitals from being overloaded we could offer all anti-vaxxers an injection of pain relief/euthanasia.

    I've had a decent ride on one and and a full size RR, both extremely good but I'd take the X Trainer

    Open the borders, no lockdowns, let everyone die who is going to

    Keeping on topic.....




    Would you say that the X trainer is more suited to technical, trialsy sort of riding? I'm not interested in speed, nor am I interested in muscling a full size bike through steep, nasty bush tracks which is what I mainly ride.

    How many were there? Several hundred? Out of a local city population of several million!!!!
    Let’s assume the majority of auckland 95-99% are following the rules... that should stop the virus from spreading as it’s same as herd immunity from say being vaccinated.
    Cause if you wear a mask and wash your hands you can’t get the virus.

    Jacindas even say no more level four so she’s pretty confident it’s under control

    We should all take time to thank the Asian community a massive 94% vaccination rate, man they just over achieve at everything well done

    On the motorcycle forum, heck let's talk bikes for a while.

    The more I think I could buy the RR and shorten the suspension a tickle to make it same as my GasGas. The Xtrainer sounds great, superb even, for 50% of the riding I do, 'ok' for 30% and miserable for 20% of the whooped out sections on farm tracks etc that beat you up on a badly or rather inappropriately suspended bike.

    I'd probably miss the extra zing a lively 300 gives. But keen to discuss as I've ridden neither.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    It's a shame there's so much garbage around the vaccine floating on social media and cretins are taking heed of it.
    Drop the restrictions soon, as long as we've given the vulnerable groups the chance to get vaxxed, good luck to those who don't want to get the jab
