My lifestyle change

[Lou Girardin]

You're right saslex, a good traffic bike needs collapsable mirrors to judge the width between cars, and give that great clack, clack noise as you power down the middle.

And whats wrong with posing - c'mon now. we all do it - or would secretly like to........

Yep, I'm quite successfully posing as a wanker wannabe biker yuppie hippy type and getting away with it......

[imdying]

Wouldn't the motard bars be higher than mirrors though?

After the weather these last few of days I may need to re-consider. Perhaps I need a bike with a sort of cover over the top. An extra couple of wheels would be good for added traction. I have noted a drop in temperature too so some kind of heater would be nice to have. Extra luggage space for the wet weather gear and a stereo now that I think of it.

Is there such a bike out there like this?

Hard luggage ain't the sporting look, but it pays off BIG time in the wet...

Ah, sounds like you were right to consider BMW in the first place. This model looks like exactly what you want

Overdoing a stoppie would get exciting.

Just buy a cheap helicopter, one of those single seater things, such as the M500 or check out those two seater scorpion things you can buy from an Australia firm (Rotoway.com) they sell those for around $110,000. Probably the same price as any exotic type sports car.

Whats best, a few of those helicopters are classed as microlights, so you don't need to get a pilots license... persey.

If you like, I can fly you to and from work

EDIT: $110,000 was the pricing I received about 6 months ago on request from their South Australia office. That was for the pre-assembled version, you can buy kitset versions for much cheaper. Prices are quoted on request.

Something to seriously think about, as there are a few buildings in Auckland that faciliate Helicopter pads, or alternatively you could possibly land at Mechanics bay and walk/taxi/motorcycle to work.

Nice way to spend the weekends too.

I...
IM JUST GLAD HE AINT A TOSSER WITH A MILLION DOLLAR BOAT TRYING TO BUY A BIG CHUNK OF PUBLIC WATER FRONT TO TURN INTO A PRIVATE MARINA AND DISPLACING SURFERS AND MAORIS TRYING TO SCRAPE UP A FEED , NOW THOSE BOATYS ARE WANKERS

dude-dat's so true-if all the wanker boaties were into bikes instead then no-one would be dreaming dredging away our precious sand banks...

[kickingzebra]

This is Auckland, home of wankers in 4x4s who never see anyting but tarmac

The only surfing I do is on my computer. Stick a motor on it and I might show some interest.
