Is your boss biker friendly ?

Lol timed thread

I went to my bosses house today (lives in outback albany with the nice roads)

I used his garage to change my spark plugs (which he bought for me I pay him back later) today.

he's been on one KB ride. you may remember him, the only guy who brought a goldwing on a KB ride ever.


(ps: my bike runs freaking awesome now with the new sparks!)

Our CEO always likes to point my bike out to visitors. Not entirely sure whether it's because it looks cool parked next to his car or whether the company is an Equal Opportunity employer by hiring village idiots.

My immediate boss is working in Singapore on attachment. He's got a Honda CB1000 Big One in NZ, but he's just bought himself an FZ1 in Singapore and when he comes back to NZ next year, he's having it shipped to Perth and riding it to Darwin, Adelaide and Melbourne before sending it home. Now how cool is he???

Well, I work at an advertising agency. They're used to very individual types in the creative area here and motorcylists are actively encouraged as they feel they are likely to think more freely than the average person.

As most people live in town they tend to ride mountain bikes to work, but one of the designers and I both ride bikes to work, and we are both allowed to park in the directors car parks next to the Mercedes Benzes, Lexuses (should that be Lexi?) and Evo Lancers.

The bosses don't give a shit what we wear to work (most people wear jeans and a shirt) and certainly don't worry about bike gear at all.

I love my job...

A few weeks ago we had our visual merchandiser in at work who turned up in the shop holding a motorbike helmet. My boss asked him if he rode a bike... he said "nah I like to wear this in my car!" She felt pretty stupid! And he is hot as so yeh!!

But nah my boss is sweet about anything at all... aslong as I am looking decent when I am in the shop!

My boss is a DICK.

I only work part time, and my bike is my only transport.

But when i get to work, he is always bitching about my gear being everywhere.
I hang it up out of the way, but then he bitches saying "ill need that hook tonight"

Just as well i handed my Notice in last night.... Im sick and tired of him being such a Tight arse moaning bitch.

do me a favor. NEVER buy Fish and Chips from 'Raumati Fish Supply'

How much are their fish and are they fresh and have their paua fritters got any pauas in them?

after 10+ years of suit and tie jobs, I finally have a job that doesn't require it.

Besides it now saves me 30 mins in rush hour traffic each way and my boss is also a biker. So no I don't get much hassle

[gamgee]

it's really funny, cause i work at a supermarket so parking in the carpark is a big no no, but the boss doesn't care if i park in gaps where cars can't park, like on the little garden beside the store, he went on the rampage a few months ago (for about the 5th time while i've worked there) and without warning towed all the staff cages away, but left my bike, never really talked to him about it, but i think we sort of have an unvoiced agreement that he'll leave it alone so long as it stays out of the way, and i keep turning up on time and doing the work

Use to commute to work every day in the previous job, no problems, but they must be a little worried as a few good lads were lost on the roads with their bikes. Have the company deisel beast to get me around the place now.

Onearmedbandit reminded me of the morning commutes in CHCH, can't say she was too enjoyable for a Northlander in the middle of winter, that's for sure!!

How much are their fish and are they fresh and have their paua fritters got any pauas in them?

Fish is, 100g Blue warrahow (sp) $2.30

200g Blue nose and gropper $5.50

Fish is not fresh. He says it is, but it is not.

Mr Seafood genuine paua fritters have paua in them, for $6 for a 100g one

Non genuine dont and are $2 for 100g

My boss is quite cool.

But when asked for somewhere to "Hang my Bike gear" supplied a beautifully crafted wardrobe.

Then proceeded to refuse entry to my sopping wet gear cos it would get his stuff wet... Just give me a bloody coat stand!

[Shadows]

I can do pretty much as I please. I've taken to parking the bike in a covered walkway which is right outside my office window so I can keep an eye on it. Nobody has said anything and I wouldn't expect them to.
Due to the nature of my job I need to be reasonably presentable so I can't wear leathers all day. I change into some trou when I get there, the boots stay on though.

Working part-time as a labourer while at uni, bike has never been an issue. More likely that they will comment on it and ask how fast I go. Or I passed the odd contractor on the way out to jobs in Beachlands

Here's hoping come mid year that which ever company hires me, likes bikes, as I haven't bothered to get a cage license yet. Quite a good excuse, as I don't think I could sit in traffic anyway.

edit: ticked student... job doesn't exactly require me to be neat and tidy

Mine hates 'em

In my previous job it wasn't a problem (being the GM), the director tried to discourage me getting a bike . He had spent most of his youth riding a triumph round Iran without a helmet; had been KO'd for a week after a hard landing once. (Took the bike for a spin round the carpark a few times & pronounced it topheavy )

One of the managers reguarly took a days off to race his classic sidecar .

Usually parked in the main courtyard / entrance way & no one dared to complain , (on occasions customers would ride up and park next to it ).

Can't ride to work now as im self employeed and have to wear suit etc.
