It is like all the threads start to talk about beer before much time past. I am liking beer but Im not allowed to drink beer.

[Gasman]

Beer. Now there's a bloody good idea. It's the time of day to go and have one or two...so goodbye to u!

[Hitcher]

Doh, the stuff that buys me beer
Ray, the guy who sells me beer
Me, the guy who drinks the beer
Fah, a long way to get beer
Soh, I think I'll have a beer
Lah, lalalala beer
Tee, no thanks, I'm drinking beer
And that brings us back to Doh!

I don't think I've heard that before, despite being a Simpsons fan.
I feel sorry for that GoatFood guy though - I think I'd top myself if I couldn't have beer.
Well.... maybe not. But definitely if I had to give up beer AND bikes AND sex. And The Simpsons.

How soon is too soon? - I've just opened my first of the day,and it's not 5 o'clock yet...customers still coming in the door.

I am wondering where the real REAL riders are.These are the guys who rode a bike continuously,it was their only transport and they used it for everything possible,they wore the paint off their tanks,kinda like Willie Nelson's guitar,but the tank never rusted,it was in constant contact with their legs.Their bikes and riding gear were adapted for the long years of use - they didn't change bikes because a newer model came out,they didn't buy new riding gear because their old stuff was now out of fashion.I used to like checking out their bikes,little things,like if they used the Auckland Harbour Bridge in the toll days there would always be a clip to hold the 20cents toll,saddle bags chock full of stuff for repairs on the road,full puncture gear,tubes,a complete clutch,you name it,they were ready for it.If something broke,it was repaired with something to make it ten times stronger,these guys were real serious bikers,there for the long haul....pity we seldom see their like today.

Not always guys of course - there was a woman out in West Auckland who never learned to drive a car...or ride a bike,she rode sidecars all her life,bringing up kids,carrying babies in them,shopping - I often saw her loading her chair at the Titirangi supermarket.Sadly passed away last year I think - her coffin fitted to the chassis of her outfit.

Probably cant drink with the medication

[moko]

Well I`ve never had a car,never wanted one and probably never will despite the dodgy knees,clicky elbows and stiff fingers from nearly 30 years of riding in everything the shitty Brit weather can chuck at a person.I still get the same buzz even when riding to and from work and take the long route home every morning.I usually dont even have a destination in mind when I scoot of for a leisure run,just head out towards the sticks and end up where I end up,more than a few times I`ll just stop off for a quick coffee and jump on and ride straight back again.I`ve had all sorts of bikes,including some real heaps when I`ve been skint but usually have managed to keep something 2-wheeled on the go.When I started out "Bikers" were the ugly guys with the "Lemmy look",the tats and the **** the world attitude.Times have changed and I`ve slowly but surely followed the rest of the Brit biker community along the road to respectability.When I was in N.Z. I could have quite happily spent the whole time just cruising around taking in the scenery and only stopping to refuel.I find riding really calming,got the knack of total mental focus while being totally physically relaxed.part of "the old" biker mentality is still with me and I really dont care what other people think of me,what I do or what I think.One time all I could afford was a scabby old RXS100 Yam,buzzy little commuter thing.I probably looked bloody stupid on it but didn`t care,had some great times on that bike bouncing around the country roads scaring the crap out of anyone that saw me cornering in a shower of sparks,the bike wobbling all over the place.

A REAL biker? - nah! not me!

[Jackrat]

I,m not a real biker,just like I'm not a real fisherman or real hunter.
Or so I get told some times by purists that do things different to me.
I've just been riding bikes of all kinds ever since I could,same with hunting,been a Bow hunter for around thirty years but like my rifles as well.
Love sea fishing but chase trout with dry flys,streamers,spinners,an anything else I can get my hands on.
I bloody hate labels,I've been called a Hippy,bikie,fisho,hunter,Farmer,trucker,
an several other things we won't get into.
Even had some one call me Sir once,
Nah mate I'm just me,an I'll do it how I please thanks.

[vifferman]

i just feel sorry for goatfood full stop.

Why? You shuld not feel sorry for me. I am happy like this.

Yeah, the sun's over the yardarm somewhere (whatever the hell that means). Me too - we have drinkies and snacks at work (provided by the company), so I had a Stella before I went home (no low-alcohol beer available). My last few posts were a bit dodgy, as was my riding.
Hey - that GoatFoodDood's a character - y'reckon he's for real?:spudwhat:

Hey, that's really cool, Motu. I know exactly the sort of blokes/blokesses you're talking about. Not many of them about. Even guys like you, Moko, Paul et alia come close but no cigar - too um.. what's the word.. not civilised... domesticated? Tamed? I dunno...

What's that bike in your avatar, Motu? Looks interesting.
