The Ridiest rider I know

[Oakie]

Argh ... must not analyse ... must not analyse .... no... I can't help myself:

70000km on a Hornet @ ummmm, 25km/l? so...
70000 divided by 25 = 2800 litres. Umm litres cost oooh lets average it at $1.60 per litre over the year so...
2800 litres @ $1.60 = $4480 for a fuel bill for the year for the Hornet. That's more than I'd get for my bike now if I sold it privately.

Ooh, and as an afterthought ... 70000 km div by 365 days in a year = 191km per day.

(Can you guess who was analysing financial reports today?)

yep, lots of respect to justin, i try'd to aim to do his ammount of k's per week and i was keeping up untill i ran out of money! maybe if i downgrade my mc22 to a somthing with better economy (fuel and tyres) maybe a cb250r? i was doing 500km/week but if justin did 97 000k in 1 year, he'd be averaging 1865km/week. thats just pure crazy yo. yet so awesome. always there to help no matter what.

[EJK]

Three words...

Fuckn Crazy Bastard

[Meekey_Mouse]

Haha yup... Justin truly is a biking hero

But... What ever happened to Pikachu?

[HornetBoy]

Well id be riding like that if i had that much spare time and money

97,000kms ,he must of used 7 or 8 sets of tyres ...and on top of that the guesstimate of $4500 up their on fuel.. jesus christ man

surely not.... thats something like $8000 isn't it ? excluding chains and sprockets,oil etc

[Subike]

that man deserves a DB

only prob gijoe is not a bum ... but he gets crap loads of holidays being a teacher

[sinfull]

Awww and here's me thinking that his Quote and no i forgot to quote him lol damb that short memory loss ! But *going back to teach the kids that they can get in trouble for being normal* (or words to that effect) meant, that he felt that there was a place for someone like him in todays education system and he had decided to take it up again after having a break !
Forgive me for being assumptive !
Personally I think another 70 k is a better option !

Anytime is a good time for me, I'm a bum !! (well for another couple o months anyway)
Morra i'm gonna look out my front door and decide then as to where i'm gonna ride !
Friday its a ride through to palmy via massey and Anza for a few bolts that came undone on my mates fxr's front disc today, lol shoulda seen his speedo cable flappin after one of the bolts ripped it out ! Then its open slatter as to where we venture to !
Sat its up early ! And ya know where we'll be then !

Still way off the 70 k GI done but loving the freedom !! So not looking forward to losing it ~

[merv]

Another way of looking at this is not to think of the cost of gas, but what about the time involved? What average speed would GI run at including through towns etc?

If you ran those sums I reckon you'd find he's riding an average of close to a quarter of the daylight hours he sees during the year - that is a big chunk of year I reckon

[sinfull]

daylight hours

lol Would say, more like a good visor !

[gijoe1313]

Its just a misbegotten way to ride away from any marriage plans in store for me! If an asian biker babe catches up with me, I guess I'm a goneburger

it takes me 5 minutes to ride to school ... when I leave those hallowed halls of mislearning, I turn those wheels and my little ol'hornet or Daisy is very reluctant to return back home...

So usually 3 hours later I end up home via Whangarei or Hamilton! Other days I will ride to Port Waikato and then decide to see what the weather is like on the Coro loop side.

Other days I have ridden out of the gates, and ridden around the clock to literally ride back in the gates I left previously!

But my usual thing is an ice-cream in the 'Tron, subways in Whangarei, pizza in Kaitaia, dinner (not often enough!) in Wellington. With me, its just ... "one more tank of gas..." or "wonder whats over the other side of that mountain (Three sisters)" or ".... whats Gisborne like where James Cook landed" or "....riding to buy a Magazine from Slyvia Park...heck, keep riding onto Cape Reinga"

Thats usually how my mind works... and as for the dosh spent on it? Heck, you're talking to a guy who dropped $4K on little model tanks and soldiers!

Only $8k on fuel? I say not enough! $16K on fuel for a year would be my idea of riding nirvana!

I guess I just have this burning passion inside which gets me to swing my leg over the saddle, fire up the little ol'hornet, point his tyres in a direction somewhere... and with a small twist of the wrist, I pootle to parts unknown, over the hills and far away....

Damn... I want to go for a ride now...

[gijoe1313]

Haha yup... Justin truly is a biking hero

But... What ever happened to Pikachu?

Poor little yellow guy, he had his own account on KB, but it was terminated and he went into a little huff for a while. However with cute little Pippi on the scene now, Pikachu sure wants to go riding again!

Also, Pikachu didn't like how the little ol'hornet was leaving black soot streaks over him from the zorst and the road film thrown up by the rear wheel!
