    HOLY CHRIST ON A FLAMING BIKE.

    if i had that much money I'd buy a collection of bikes. not a rolling 'sculpture' that's gonna find him $50,000 out of pocket when he goes to sell it..

    sorry, i rant. should be riding Saturday morning if you're interested, send me a message and I'll give you my cell number or something.
    I fail to disagree on the chopper but I wont be disrespecting Harleys any time soon. As a paper exercise they don't make much sense vs the opposition but in reality it's kinda like owning a van gogh compared to a gallery full of beautiful pictures, the piccies in the gallery are better in almost every way but no matter how well painted they will never be a van gogh.

    Having said all that crap My Suzuki is freakin awesome and It was right for me to swap right now. And me Bank is very happy I switched brands.
    Oh bugger

    no worries haha i understand where you're coming from. i met someone a while ago, guy from texas who is totally dumbstruck with the concept of harley and his bitterness managed to rub off on me. nonetheless..what'd you buy?
    original quote from 98tls - Who gives a shite about Kw when you can all arrive in Fox at the same time sit and have a coffee and thank fuck for motorcycles..whatever the wording on the gas tank.

    What do you expect? You live on the West Coast silly! Mount Taranaki has the highest rainfall in all on NZ!!! Surely you did your homework before moving there... Expect rain, and heaps of it!

    Hahaha... Whakatane (15mins from Edgecumbe) is right up there with the sunny places in NZ. Ahhh... you wait for winter in NP! I couldn't live there now, but I still visit heaps. All my family live there and it's my old stomping ground, so it has a special place in me heart! You are probably right! It only rains when you get a new scoot and want to take her out!!

    Aw man woman man, don't even mention blinkin winter, I can't bear it.

    I'm sure I saw somat about a biker chick form New Plym on police ten seven. Yeah that's right, police were very interested in interviewing a biker chick with family connections in New Plym and they'd been tipped off she'd moved to the second sunniest place in NZ,they admited later,they hadn't got a clue where to look.
