Bus lane transit NZ

[Redstar]

cheers mate we will have a voice its three years before we have to give up and this will be my hobby.
the truth is there is no vested interest on the council yet but we will find an allie eventually? I was going to suggest that if the buses get a lane we can have theirs like say they give the slow lane to us plus cars with two plus HOV'S but thats our bottom line first we try for gold and get on this new transit lane.
councils are just a bunch of old foggies who are more interested in the fee they get for attending meetings and how load they can fart without being noticed!
If we keep chipping away we will get a voice but slowly does it.
I wrote to Paul Swain but as yet he is far to busy to respond to the plebs who put the fat cat in office. he can wait!
I think the transport spokewoman for the ACC need to get involveved she looks like a woman who would enjoy a ride?
let's be real nice for now...We are going to win this!

dang it!

shortly after I got my ticket for "failing to dirve within a lane" 4 weeks ago, I sent a request to Xtra to create a poll on their Motoring channel with the question:
"Should motorcyclists be allowed to use the motorway bus lanes during peak hours?"

I didn't realise they went with it until after the poll closed, and the result was:
Yes - 30%
No - 70%
from 1232 cage-driving, tin-top owners

BTW, who's the person from Gore that vote NO to the poll in this thread huh?

(prolly rides a Honda C90)

[Redstar]

30%? on the face of it a lost cause but then.. considering we on represent 1%(guess) of the on road commuter we have 29% of bikers in cars and sympathisers? so good result.
Its all gone quite from Paul Swain's office our elected Public Servant. and Transit New Zealand and the North Shore City Council have gone quite too? I think they have a strategy?its ignor the pricks and they'll go away?
but I've just started really. watch this space.

[georgedubyabush]

well, he didnt vote 'no.'
he voted that he 'doesnt give a monkeys'. and so he shouldnt if he lives in gore.
by the way, is a c90 like my grandpas ct110? im young

[Redstar]

never been to Gore. but I here they do some wicked line dancing.
and your right no point in having a poll if you cant have a dont care vote. c90 bugger whats that a Honda postie bike? and a ct110 whats that a postie who got a promotion?

A resounding win for Envy!.......Jealous twisted pricks!

well my grandpa does have a ct110 and he's had it for his farm as long as i can remember. yes its a postie bike. it has a high/low ratio. 5 speed? no clutch. step through.
Kiwi rider had an article a while back of three guys that did a 2000 km tour on them a while back. looked like fun. $60 gas the whole trip. took them out in the bush too.

In a mad max holocast type situation. In reality the gangs probably wouldnt be on harleys etc, they'd be on cts. indestructible

[What?]

CT's are awesome in soft sand and gravel, too.

C90 is a step-through scooter thingy. Vaguely more like a motorcycle than a CT.

I think you're right there about their jealously, so 30% is a good result!

my dad used to have a honda C90 as a farm bike, 4-stroke single banger, little brother of the CT110 I guess. I recall many mishaps on that beast, and bending the handle bars a few times. I once got one stuck upright in mud...

Sound like a bunch of cage drivers thinking, "If I can't use them then no one can"

[georgedubyabush]

i also used to have a ct200 farm bike. same sort of deal, but not stepthrough. apparantly when they banned the manufacture of farm trikes, honda put their spare parts into ct200s. was kinda heavy.
sorry, getting a bit

[Big Dog]

Any further developments redstar?

i'd have to agree with that... just because the vast majority are a pack of mindless cripples who can't balance without an ounce of lateral thinking, for some reason, the more ingenious of us should be brought to their level.

I'd say we're definitely surrounded by turkeys. Just a matter of soaring in a squidly manner (like an eagle) through the turkeys without being spotted by a pig and being rounded up like a wild dog.

.. if you know what i mean

Big dog.

Thanks for asking there is not much to report but I have a cunning plan...

The Labour Party has a web site check it out you can have online chat with MP'S cool. When Paul Swain has a spot we can all ask him on line real time what he thinks as He has not had the common courtesy to respond to my letter yet.

We have a few years to sort this rubbish out.

When we have the next general election we really must make our issues the descision tools for our vote preference a?

Maybe the Green Party may support us?Green Kawasaki colour. then we can smoke dope and wear draggin hemp pants!
