    Unhappy I'm moving to Christchurch

    Title says, soon I'll be moving down to Christchurch . The transit will happen during early January next year. Well I heard this news from my parents couple of months ago but I was just waiting for a confirmation.

    Reason? My parents got a good job down there, and they may need my help in the future so I'll be tagging along till I graduate and independently get a job. Mama boy? Meh.....

    Well hear this, in Christchurch I'll no longer need a motorbike since there is no motorway (Well actually there is one) and most of my commuting will be done on a bicycle
    Another reason is that (Direct quote from my outbox PM cause I can't be bothered typing):
    Another reason of selling my bike is that I cannot save up well when I've got this pain on my ass. You see I'm no 6 figure income person but I'm paying for the insurance, fuel, food (during a ride) and other maintenance fees when I've got this bike. And trust me it's really tough saving with all that expenses! Haha

    But overall, thinking on a long term basis, I think I can sacrifce sometime off the road for a nice Daytona/ Bandit. I may not ride a bike for a year or two but I think that'll be a well worth sacrifice in the end!

    Some people say "Why upgrade? Just have that bike!" but then I happily replies to them "For once in my life I'd like to cruise at 100kph effortlessly!"
    I'll be selling the FXR in Auckland (for a few reasons) So so-long to my dearly awaited bike tour down to South Island! I, here confess, was desperate to reach South Island before Justin's march but the fate says I won't make it.

    Here now I lay down my Ambition, Greed and Desire. It'll be Bitter, Sorrow and a great Pity but I will have to forfeit my will.

    Anyone interested in a road legal bucket bike? It's already got a 250's carb, Aftermarket Airfilter (in red!), Sticky Bridgestone BT39SS front and a nice BT45 rear, and it's ready to bucket race! If so keep an eye out around late Dec.



    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    And so it goes, another page in your life is being written anew in the ink of your blood and tears, your teeth shall gnash and grind as others on two wheels of motive power pootle on past ... yet still in your soul you yearn for the sake of riding.

    The best is yet to come young grasshopper, let lie fallow your burning desire to bestride two wheels of destiny and instead hone, keen and sharpen your abilities and intellect to match the opportunity that shall present itself in the future.

    Remember, you have years ahead of you stretching out into the vast horizon of disappearing black lanes to twisties.

    Oh the pity I consume
    Hurts more than an open wound
    Jealousy will soon reign
    Whereas desire goes down the drain
    Was to greed a crime?
    Will it heal in time?
    Meh, soon I'll be back
    On a shiny new bike
    For now I'll sell my toy
    So let me borrow your Daisy, boy!

    If you're going to be confined to a bicycle, then give it some go.

    Goodluck with the move.

    you can always buy a 500 bike off trade me to satisfy that two wheeled desire. If there is a will there is a way I say.

    Christchurch is ok, just stay away from the angry skinhead types that seem to proliferate there.
