Besides it's not Kiwi logic, it's politician logic.

Don't believe in god, not much a patriot, don't like the tune, but count the times the anthem says "God defend our free land."

FUCK YEAH V8s AND GUNS FOR EVERYONE!!!

God of Nations at Thy feet,
In the bonds of love we meet,
Hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our free land.
Guard Pacific's triple star
From the shafts of strife and war,
Make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand.

Men of every creed and race,
Gather here before Thy face,
Asking Thee to bless this place,
God defend our free land.
From dissension, envy, hate,
And corruption guard our State,
Make our country good and great,
God defend New Zealand.

Peace, not war, shall be our boast,
But, should foes assail our coast,
Make us then a mighty host,
God defend our free land.
Lord of battles in Thy might,
Put our enemies to flight,
Let our cause be just and right,
God defend New Zealand.

Let our love for Thee increase,
May Thy blessings never cease,
Give us plenty, give us peace,
God defend our free land.
From dishonour and from shame,
Guard our country's spotless name,
Crown her with immortal fame,
God defend New Zealand.

May our mountains ever be
Freedom's ramparts on the sea,
Make us faithful unto Thee,
God defend our free land.
Guide her in the nation's van,
Preaching love and truth to man,
Working out Thy glorious plan,
God defend New Zealand.

Edit: A 'Turbo V8' making *only* 400hp? That 17 year old needs a slap, they need at least an extra 100.

I would have thought that a 250 would have been plenty of power for a learner?

There is plenty of quick 250's out there, you can get a 250 sports bike in 2 stroke which is dangerously fast, one might think it would be too fast for a learner.

I brought a 125 commuter for my first bike, but I'm getting a 250 2 stroke sports bike for my second.

**jonbuoy** · 15th February 2006, 17:56

Yeah a 250 4 stroke is too slow on the open road, should be a 400 four stroke or a 250 two stroke.

Often wondered how the courts would look at this on the grounds of discrimination.

So there are no cc limits with cars but there are with bikes. Prob ably cost a packet and who's got that sort of money.

You'ld need to find a bankroller.

+1
i fully agree.

the law is an ass, in many cases...
it forces the 250 prices thru the roof as well,
a rgv (for example) of early 90s is still going for the same money as it was 11 years ago when i was drooling over them,
a horsepower restriction would make more sence i spose.

on the other hand,
If you are over 25 the whole process can be mostly by-passed after 3 months

Shit mate, you would never believe how hard it was back in SA. I had never heard about the internet or forums. Besides, we were just getting into this "electricity" rush you guys take for granted. Hell, you don't even have the generator in your back yard for someone to run on everytime you want to watch TV. No wonder Im getting so fat.
