    The post maybe should have been

    After riding a bike that i can afford to own, cars that i can afford to own are boring.....

    I had a blat in a bmw m5 a couple of months ago. Fastest 4 door production car. It gave me some serious grin factor that I've only really experienced on bikes since I started riding..... Only 50 times more expensive than my bike though....

    Corners, you just drive around them, there's no lean, no fun, no sensation in a car.
    And everything seemed so slow too, I found myself going 70 in a 50 zone, .
    I had to drive a big stationwagon WLG-Waiouru a couple of months ago. Only ridden on the open road the previous year - since getting my bike. (partner normally does all the driving) I was a bit worried about it beforehand - what a joke!!
    After riding at 100k+ driving was a breeze. My only problem was trying to stay anywhere near the speed limit, 130k felt like 80k, never have I been so at risk of getting a ticket. Every time I checked the speedo I was at least 20k over.

    And getting stuck behind all those cage drivers going 90K, on straight empty roads, and not being able to overtake they way you can on a bike.

    Riding certainly improves your driving skills and awareness!

    I used to love cars too but now I just can't go past the feeling I get on a bike. Grin factor counts for so much.

    Another car I would like to drive would be the new audi the one with 400bhp it looks so good and if its anything like the older TT it would handle like an itlian(sp).
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    There's still a few bang for buck cars around but my bike still does it for me every time. Riding is so much more fun.
