Go with your heart girl. If you want to keep riding - go for it!!

You could join up with the Ulysses Club - neat bunch of people that enjoy bikes and socialising together.

Check out http://www.ulysses.org.nz

Take care and I hope it all works out for you.

What a great idea, silly me for not thinking of it sooner, I knew some of them when I lived in Brissie, great bunch.

I don't want to give up riding, because it's something I've wanted to do for a long time and finally am.

Heya roks

Sorry to hear about your situation, no-one likes a drunk driver (at least, they damn well shouldn't). Well, there are many of us Chch KBers, most of us are pretty laid back. If you're looking to go for a bit of a tour around the place from time to time without having to worry about keeping up with anyone, I'd be happy to join you. Being a learner myself I'm in no hurry to prove anything to anyone, so we can go as slow as you like

I'm sure there are plenty of others down here that'd be happy to ride with you too, so cheer up!

I'm sure you don't want my opinion on your ex, onwards and upwards and all that. But I'd start by encouraging HIM to get out on the BIKE more often... weave down the road a few times on that and see how it turns out. Least he's more likely to be the one suffering the consequences rather than others.

As for your riding, whatever works for you. There's plenty of people down that way to knock around with, even if most of them are southerners. If you're in the downer phase of the break up, don't make any big decisions like selling bikes or other assets. Possibly you'll end up regretting those decisions. Wait until the mind is clear.

And enjoy the new ride (no pun intended)

**HDTboy** · 16th January 2006, 18:10

I think that by asking a bunch of bikers if you should keep riding, you've answered your own question. There's a top bunch of people in Chch, and I hope you do stick around for a long time to come

**Sniper** · 16th January 2006, 18:14

PM, Me, I get my cast off soon and Im more than happy to show you a few good roads and more than happy to come riding with ya.

**roks** · 16th January 2006, 18:17

I just wish he'd get caught before someone is injured, and lately he's been less drunk when he's driving, if that means anything. In a way I'm pleased we're over, because I can only imagine what he'd be like to be around when he does get caught, and I'd incur the bad moods at him being off the road for a month before he could apply for a limited licence. But it's been a 6 year haul, on and off due to the drink, so I'm probably slightly in the down period but hey....not for long that's for sure as I tend to think of what I have got as opposed to what or who I haven't got

**crashe** · 16th January 2006, 18:28

roks - You enjoy riding and love ya bike - then stay with riding.

Go and meet up with the Chch KBers.. they will help you out in learning to ride and take you out on some rides... They will be able to advise you on your riding.. etc.

There are also a few female riders down there as well who can help you out.
Speedygirl, miss sniper, Joni and Rashika to name a few.

Enjoy the freedom of riding your bike....

**SuperDave** · 16th January 2006, 18:31

You could always ride alone. I went out yesterday and did over 250kms by myself and I had a blast.

**gav** · 16th January 2006, 18:34

Hey Roks, you're more than welcome to come on the next ride, most of ones I've been cater for all abilities. You'll be OK, usually a few cruising along at the back of the pack keeping an eye out for everyone!

**Sniper** · 16th January 2006, 18:38

PM sent and recieved roks. Look forward to your call

**Mad Cow** · 16th January 2006, 18:38

Well done for sticking to your dream!

If you need an incentive to stay with it then think how satisfying it is not to let him affect your life anymore! You want to do it, he may have been the initiator but you are the one out there fulfilling it!

**Kendog** · 16th January 2006, 19:15

Hey Chicky,
Best thing to do is get on your bike and ride it baby!! Best way to forget all your worries, have fun and "Blow that man right outta your hair"!! Have fun luv and cheer up!

From Mrs Kendog.

Getting rid of a dangerous bastard behind a wheel is everybody's concern. I lost a bloody good mate to a drunk. Chrysler Valient vs. FZR600 If I ever catch . . . . . . .

Glad to hear your not prepared to put up with that crap. You may not want to admit it, but you'll be better off without the handicap holding you back in life.

Enjoy your bike, and the peace and quiet it gives. Life does and will get better, there is someone else much better for you.
Keep smiling or try too
