does riding my pushie everyday, rain or shine count?
No point getting the Buell out for a 6.5km cummute.

Hi all, got an alarm off trademe and was after any recommendations of who when where and how much to install it locally... Most shops I called couldn't give me a quote or how long it would take! Sheesh! (any eletrickery gurus out there keen on a homer)
Cheers
PS Anyone else seen another 07 black busa rider in town we both bought from Sportszone and Ive lost his details
Cheers again!

Bit of a bugger arriving late at work because you ended up in Haast while becoming distracted somewhere between home and work in Christchurch.

And don't ask me how I know this... !

not that at all, more like get on bike and almost immediately get off cos I'm there already... rather get on and stay on till I wanna get off

and besides the pushying is good for me too

Something to do with having lives outside of motorcycling. I for instance work Monday/Friday and Mrs Oakie works Sunday/Thursday. This gives us Saturday as the only day we get to do stuff together ... so sorry, you guys are generally going to loose out to the joys of doing stuff with my wife. HOWEVER, we are tentatively planning to do the Kaikoura trip and I think will probably join in a few rides now that Mrs Oakie's bike is going reliably so as we meet a few of you we'll probably start to get along to a few gatherings together in the future.

I ride St Albans to Uni every day... I have only nicked my flatmates car twice when the bike was out of action for a couple of days. Probably ridden every day bar 3 or 4. Generally don't take the old girl out in snow though, i just don't have the balls for it.

You same as me sister

Except I don't ride my pushie in the rain, hate getting wet on a pushie.

Currently I see only 3-4 bikes, soon there will be 6-8 bikes as summer approaches. Note: These figures exclude scooters.

unless it is absolutely bucketing down I still ride... put on my overtrou and wets and off I go. I do like my new top from Ground effect, has a cool hood that stops all those chills down the neck. Bloody cool this morning, did I mention that I am riding at 5.30am?
