    Yes its the Catch22 situation

    you have a fast powerful bike so therefore you should go as fast as possible or do you enjoy the motorcycling expeirence and just cruise because thats the Americian dream isnt it? Easy Rider - Throw the wristwatch away and just point the bike at the open road with no goel in mind. The reality is that we all sometimes do silly things and nearly get wasted and that too is part of the thrill and danger of riding. I do remember passing a truck on the Masterton side of the gorge with a pillion on and someone coming up from the other way, on a very narrow tight corner...... Now that was really interesting but I was committed to the pass and boy did I feel a jerk afterwards for endangering my friend. That was a long time ago.

    Just stay away from two strokes, mate. They're a BAD influence on law abiding bikers I reckon.

    I have nothing against drinking. However, excessive drinking is just silly. I'm probably not making lots of friends here, but when drinking; driving or riding; and the "she'll be right, mate" attitude are put together, alot of innocents get hurt. I'm qute happy for drink drivers/riders to wipe themselves out, but let's keep roadkill to possums please...

    A Hot Chocolate for me please, barman!
