Not a wind up: End of my road biking days for now

[jrandom]

End of the day, it's your choice. I'd rather ride slow on a bike than not ride at all. Time and place, guys.

I'm not sure I get why a three-month suspension is any reason to give up riding.

Three months of gas money is about enough for a radar detector, an' all.

And, I mean, let's face it. Nothing beats the rush of doing a runner when there's actual jail time on the line.

Could be a goer - one more person and the Jafamobile will be pulling wheelies off lights!

Any good bling bits you want to give me off the Hornet? After all you don't want it going to someone who wouldn't appreciate them!

Shucks, never got to tee up with you with my Big Ol'Hornet!

[The Pastor]

Sorry to hear you're leaving the road riding sence issac, i think ive only ridden with you once or twice, but you seemed like a standup guy.

Good luck with the track/racing.

Or go work overseas for two years, make some real money, pay off my student loan, save up a deposit for a house, clear my demerit points, meet new people, see new places, experience new things, live in better climates, and then........... come back to NZ and become poor again and get raped by the NZ Police.... hmmm....

My employer is in over 100 countries and transfers are relatively easy. I can't say this latest event hasn't made me think harder about leaving NZ earlier. Just need to find a more biker-friendly country...

in the words of Ben Stiller in the movie "Starsky and Hutch", "Doo it"

[TOTO]

[Muppet]

Yes, the NZ Police have bled me financially dry and taken my license for a fourth time.

Laters

Why did they take your licence four times?

Doooo it.

I'll be moving back to England beginning of next year for about a year just to earn abit of cash then come back here and start living properly..

Yeah good call, but one thing irks me...you said in your first post that

the NZ Police have bled me financially dry

yet they never had anything to do with it. you bled yourself dry...its a bit like a juggler juggling chainsaws and keeps dropping them on himself...you either learn to stop or sidestep very quickly....point is....why even part blame the police for something you have done yourself?.

But good on you for owning up to that fact that your an idiot on a bike at the most inopportune times

Just need to find a more biker-friendly country...

doesn't get much more biker friendly than free medical care

but if you find a country where all cars are ordered off the road on sunny days, tickets are only issued for people holding up traffic, roads like the coro are one way only (alternating direction every day) and trackdays are daily events within an hour from home do tell me

in the meantime i'll keep riding my dirtbike every other weekend
