    Where abouts will this ride be taking place? Mt Eden Motorcycles are pretty good if you're still looking for a dealer, they looked after me anyway. What did you want from them anyway, just cheap deals in exchange for waving their name around?

    Hey Courtney,
    yea Mt Eden motorcylces is next on the list. We are basically going to try and cover the major makes (Honda, Kawa, Suzuki and Yamaha) so that all our members are able to enjoy the benefits of being in the club. We are going to try and get the whole shabang from the dealers. Discounts on parts, accessories, servicing/repairs and maybe even on new bikes in ex-change for advertising and also customer loyalty, ie. that we will send our members there (and who wudn't want to go there if they can get service at discounted prices!!)
    Hope that answers your question. I will forward you the details of that ride and you can go along if your keen. Have fun and ride safe.

    Cheers,
    Nish.

    hey I know those guys! Not one of them though really, I'm of a rather older vintage than them....

    But back in the day..... was where an older formation of the physics legion hanged out a lot.

    Haha, I see! I'm a physics man myself, doing a physics major. You studying physics aswell?

    I was, but left Uni now. Going to be working at NZ Steel soon, working in their Operations and Planning Division. Used to be teaching (as a TA) for the maths and physics departments.

    What papers are you taking?

    Oh kool. Haha, I was wondering what job options I would have once I've finished my degree. At the moment I'm still in stage one, doing Physics 150, Maths 108, Phil 101 & compsci 111 (those last two are for the points). I'll be doing stage two next semester and was wanting to do the quantum physics paper and I'm also going to have to take alot more maths papers which is a bit of a piss off, but if I'm wanting to take physics furthers I'll need it.

    gee, good thing you said those last two are "just for the points"! Never ever taken compsci111, not even considered it. Compsci101 was piss easy. As for Phil101.... well, I shamefully do admit to taking it myself!

    But only because I was bored at the time, so thought it "fun" to enroll in a couple of papers during summer school. Went to the first lecture of Phil101, that was also my last lecture ever of it.... though this did cause me to miss the final for Phil101! LOL. Oh well, I still passed even though I didn't turn up to the final....

    It is beyond piss easy, in fact so far beyond it can't even be compared to piss easy!

    As for Maths108..... and in the second semester! And a physics student taking it as well! Arrgghhh.... "back in my day" that would have been unheard off...

    Drat, I've probably come off as grumpy old bastard!

    Yes, you do need more maths. By "taking physics further" you mean majoring in it? If so, then you might need to almost major in maths while your about it.... Certainly if you want to get into the quantum physics papers. In fact, in that case you really can not have too much maths!

    Have you thought about taking Maths208 during summer school? You might find it to be a very good idea, to help yourself catch up. I think it is terrible that students "nowadays" can finish first year only having done one maths paper (even worse if it is 108!). Is totally shocking if they are meant to be maths and/or physics students too!

    My "little" brother (unfortunately... he is "a few" millimeters taller than I am) is taking Physics 150. Tallish guy (6' 5"), has a camo backpack.

    At the Tamaki campus right? I'm the guy that doesn't usually go to lectures but will turn up every now and then, haha. I'm th long haired with dude wearing a metal shirt of some sort, will be wearing me leather jacket now seeing as I'm riding to uni now.
    I'm Courtney by the way. Are you the dude I asked to see your gloves? Cos there's a guy in lectures who had the same gloves that I bought off trademe so asked ot have a look.

    Come and say hello next time you see me!

    Cheers for the advice mate. It's so much fucking work though! So far I've done virtually no work for 108, just trying to go by from what I learned in maths102 (which I never went to lectures for and got by from what I learned in school... still got a B+ though). I reeeaaally have to get a good work ethic cos I just keep falling behind and by the time it comes to the end of the semester i cant be bothered studying for the exams so I don't go, hence why I'm doing stage one papers for the third semester

    Hopefully I'll move onto stage 2 next semester if I can get my arse into gear.

    I know what you mean, I did most of stage one on what I already knew. Never really studied, at any point while at Uni. But I'm an abnormality, not really sure how I got my degree without doing anything. And I wouldn't at all advise doing that. I really wish myself I could have gone back in time and worked harder, then I could have carried on with this to a much higher level. And done some stuff I'd have really liked. Physics certainly is a lot of work (watch out for those lab reports in second and third year! Though I believe it has become a lot less work than it used to be), possibly a slight error in hindsight doing heaps and heaps of physics. But was lots of fun. Oh well, it all turns out good in the end. I'm going to be starting an amazingly great job in another week, so life is great.

    Hey guys 'n gals.
    The ride down to coro was AWESOME!!! Cheers to Stephen for organising it and to Dimi, Ehab and Kim for coming along! That CBR900 is a bloody nice machine and you've kept her in mint condition Kim! The weather also turned out mint (almost like it was waiting for us to get on our bikes before it cleared up) and its a pity the mountains were drenched and we couldn't complete the loop. My ass is definately the sorest part of my body right now!

    For those of you who missed out for whatever reasons we are organising a shorter ride for the coming weekend so if you are keen give me a buzz and I'll try and get details out to you asap! It'll be mean if we had some big numbers for next weeks ride and hopefully the weather is great and we'll have another day like today!

    Cheers,
    Nish.
