    Yes, you win by a long shot. I could have done with one of those a month back. Boy are those Pohutakawa trees tough bastards! You could almost hear it scream as I was hacking at it with my underpowered chainsaw.

    That must be quite a beast.

    with 16 pushbikes ranging from dump-collected pitties to $10000 carbon road bike jobbies i don't need any more of those. a nice carbon/kevlar race kayak would be nice I (got a glass ski but it's old and not fast enough). just got a brand new house with 119" theatre. a new dodge ram ute would be good to transport the dogs in.

    ultimate buy? 2 seater spitfire MKXII. or at a pinch i'd settle for a 'stang, or as mentioned by someone else, a sea fury. something loud, fast, beautiful.

Reintroduce import tariffs, subsidies etc, to support NZ owned business. Withdraw from the WTO, and renounce any free-trade agreements. Introduce harsh immigration laws, and deport any current immigrant residents/citizens who fail a stringent english language ability test.
    Deport any immigrant who's been convicted of any crime worse than a speeding ticket. I could go on :-)
    NICE!

    Actualy motorcycles don't rate very important with me at all.
    Even though I,ve been involved with them for 30 odd years I have gone a couple of years at a time an never missed not having a bike in that time.
    Bikes come an go,I really don't give a shit about them,their just machines.
    Hunting is my main interest,I have a small collection of things that go bang and a fairly large collection of things that go twang.
    I started hunting when I was around 7 years old when an uncle took me rabbit shooting.In the time since then I've taken most game animals in NZ baring Thar,white tail,and Sambar.
    Most of my hunting today is done with a Bow.I prefer Traditional gear an shoot both Longbow and Recurve.The last couple of years bikes have actualy intruded on my hunting a bit but I've solved that resently by selling the XS and puting the money on a custom built recurve from Huntsman in Australia.
    As far as the what would you buy question,I'd just pay off my house,other than that life is pretty bloody good.

    It sucks, it a bitch to pull and a total bastard to climb with, but with 121cc's, it does cut wood rather well. Luckily I have about a dozen others that are smaller.

    Typical developer types, small tool in hand an no idea how to use it!

    A hawker typhoon would be cooler than cool.
