Countdown and a Motorbike?

[Ixion]

Cos it costs $15 delivery fee! I'm just a poor old man, I can't afford such luxuries.

for years i only owned a motorbike and did all my shopping on it. Bought huge blinds once and hubby had to sit on back holding it down the side of bike and trying very hard to not have it turn into a wind sail on him LOL. But children came along and i found it too impossible having baby seats and shopping on the bike, so a car got involved in the deal too. Will shop little bits on the bike, but have u tried to shop for 5? it just won't fit in the packs any more.

The motorbike park is right outside the door

Your supermarkets have bike parks? We're lucky enough to own the bikes and a car so we just take the car.

Depends what I happen to be in/on at the time. For big shops, I use the cage.

[Hellraiser]

I use to do my shopping fortnightly and go around the differant car yards in the area and take one for a test drive for just long enough to do my shopping.

When my cage got anally penetrated last year I had to do all my grocery shopping on the bike for a while. Employees of the local asian market tried to hide their smiles watching me taking off with bags full of fruits and vegies but they failed miserably to do so.

You mean this long strip of concrete where people go in and out is not a bike parking lot? Ooops...

Yes, and again.. you need a credit card or at least a bank account to order. Which I dont!!! Gah!

Yep thats the one.. it usually says "no parking" or something along those lines for stupid cagers.. there is so many signs and light signals for cars.. good thing there is none for bikes

I don't use the motorbike every time I shop, sometimes I use the pushbike instead
If I don't need heavy stuff like beer, I'll often take the motorbike. The motorbike park is right outside the door, so it would be silly not to. And since I'm limited to the size of my panniers, I don't end up buying lots of crap that wasn't on the list.

I do the same for the same reason and yet somehow every once in a while a piece of random(?) crap somehow manages to sneak in.....

I won't do weekly shops as I've found that half of what I buy that I plan to use just ends up lying around not used. So I just go every couple of days and get what I need at the time.

Still I always have my bungee cords stashed under the pillion seat just in case....

don't have so that's one (or more) less to worry about.

Use the bike for small to med shops. As sylvia park is my local supermaggot, you've either gotta go at non-busy (and generally inconvenient) times, or take the bike and park right by near the doors. Can always throw on the saddlebags if needed.

Also, FYI to all bikers who frequent slyvia park, we finally have a proper bike park! the old taxi stand up by the westpac and countdown is now bike parking. No need to get hassled by the parking-police security wankers or joe public who is jealous that you can park anywhere
