Or maybe they didn't feel like losing their license, job, house and relationship so thought they'd avoid that by doing an easy runner. Or maybe they just needed an adrenaline rush to wake themselves up before a boring day at work. But we'll stick to your theory if you like.

And by the way, it wasn't me - not that facts ever get in the way of the rumour mill.

Didnt say that it was you, dont care if it was you. Either way my opinion stays the same.

I still wanna know who it was! And whoever it was stopped on the side of the road seen by Wasp!

PM me if anyone knows.

Might change if you had a bit more power girl.

Nope, idiots are idots regardless of what they ride. If I had a cop right behind me they would have my number plate so if I did a runner who would get the last laugh? The cops of course, especially when I have to go to court over it and lose my job. Yeah that'd make it really worthwhile. Maybe if they wre out on the open road without the traffic congestion it would make it a bit safer, but in the morning with peak hour traffic yeah real safe and not to mention clever.

I'm in Christchurch today... won't make it for tonight's ride... need to soon or I'll forget how to switch gears...

Is anybody going tonight?

I just drove from Wanganui to Naenae, no rain on the way.
Looked shitty towards Lower Hutt, but roads from Naenae north are dry.

I'm keen if anyone else is.

Not that this is a constructive comment, but it's been on and off raining all day. It's not helped by the fact that I've not bought enough warm clothes into work (and that I'm clearly a shandy drinker) so I'm a no. Which is a bummer.

Ahhh... assumptions. I like people whose opinions are based on those. 1) you assume that there was a plate attached 2) you assume that the rider is, or is somehow traceable to, the registered owner 3) you assume that rush hour makes it any less safe to do a runner (if anything it's probably easier and safer by virtue of being shorter and slower). I'm not justifying it, nor having a crack at you. Runners on the way to work are a real bad start to a day, not to mention bloody inconvenient, and I don't know any more about this particular case than you do. But assumptions...

You're mad. You're welcome to drop by my place and help finish off my bathroom so I'm allowed out for another ride sometime this century. Only need a few sheets of gib up, oh maybe a ceiling, and a bath, shower and some of those expensive bloody waterproof wall lining sheets.

**Dafe** · 3rd May 2006, 17:41

Oh well, I guess it's the big flag for tonight!

**Wasp** · 3rd May 2006, 17:45

yea, it just started spitting as i pulled out of the work garage.....

**Madness** · 3rd May 2006, 17:49

Bike's in the shop, got the heater on. Domino's for dinner with indegestion/heartburn for supper. Looking forward to the weekend with a brand new set of tyres to play with & a 2-day pass out!!.

I love uni papers (hers).

Easy, a few plastic tarps from the Warehouse down the walls and a hose through the window with a sprinkler for the shower.
