    For a thrill I just wait until Easter or Anzac day any race past my local school at 10kph above the speed limit and I feel real satified. That fcuks them. WHY don't they give us credits when we are not speeding you know like when we are stopped at intersections. "therevolutioniscomingtothosemutherfuckersbrigade"

    Absolutely agree MD. The lower north seems to be getting a hammering by the pleece. I've had two speed camera fines in the last week (in my bloody cage) after no tickets for 3 years. I obviously need to improve my protection strategies.
    Truly the South Island is a bikers paradise.

    mate... I love riding my bike, but sometimes it's nice to hop in the car, light a smoke, wack the stereo on and just cruise over to piha or something.

    I'd never give up the bike, but I'd never give up the car either.

    Fair call. I have been punished by the powers that be. Unfortunately the cage has to be used for some of my work stuff.

    maybe someone should sort out a bus to take the bikes etc for the boring bits, could have club samis,cups of tea and sing song along the way

    Yeah it definately is nice sometimes to hop behind the wheel of the car, light up a ciggy, pop the top off an ice cold beer, have a shave, txt a mate, play with yourself (sneakily so that noone can see you), eat a really hot pie and cruise into children crossing the zebra crossing at a school... I love my cage. Ha

    The Powers That Be now have the Weather Gods (as represented by the UN's IPCC) on their side. There shall be no stopping their quest to stop polar ice-caps melting, including the punitive taxation and other measures designed to kerb the frivolous usage of motor spirits.

    Totally agree. Ban car stereos. Remove sound deadening from firewalls, doors and roofs. Make all cars convertible and make it a crime to have the roof up if it is not raining. Remove mufflers. Add random chicanes to roads. Minor electric shocks at random through the steering wheel. Anything to increase the stimulation to the brain while using a vehicle would help. Most car drivers have forgottern how to go around a corner quickly and instead are too busy singing perfecting their singing with the stereo technique or texting to take notice of the world around them.

    When was the last time you had to drive anywhere long distance on a great big straight piece of road? You'd be begging for the comforts of a stereo etc...
