A milestone is achieved

**Brett** · 26th May 2006, 20:13

I realised today that I have made a true milestone in life...I chose to ride my little 250cc bike in the wet and Rain as opposed to driving my well powered Nissan 200sx that is dry, warm(managed to retain aircon when modding) comfortable and would out handle the bike in the wet or dry.

The only thing i can put this down to...is that I have become a true biker...and not a poser anymore.

Yay for me...will have to celebrate by going for a ride tomorrow.

**Brett** · 26th May 2006, 20:17

yeah dont get me wrong...it is still MUCH better to ride in the dry

If you were a true biker you wouldn't have mentioned it...

Now... where's that mocca?

Good on ya mate, when you do it for a whole weekend and lose feeling in certain parts -voluntarily- then you can officially be an old codger and rant on about how these young uns these days dont know what REAL biking is about

Been there done that a few times now. Did Aucks to Tauranga in a huge downpour that seemed to follow me, the Karanghake Gorge was a nightmare, and then hand the same thing on the way back. Same deal a few times to Hamilton and Back, but that is hardly a decent ride at all.
The worst bit is when the water finally penetrates the cordura and starts running down the arms, back and neck...not cool...not cool at all.

Riding every day, no matter what the weather is the only way to go.

On yer Brett, not just a dry biker now. I haven't riden much in the rain but don't mind it to much. When you gotta ride, you gotta ride!

i'd say, sell the car and put it into savings for your next bike (those zx14's are expensive) !

**Brett** · 27th May 2006, 11:05

Yeah I am contemplating selling it to fund a zx6r...or could use the savings...will have to see.
I know some of you will not like this...but i want to hang onto the car, it hauls ass and is a good load of fun to drive. But I would be lying if I didn't admit that the thought of selling it and buying a 636 with all the goodies doesn't make me feel a little overly excited.
