Noticed you finished the wedges though scottpalmer, nothing wrong with a bit of roughage in your diet from time to time aye..

Wasn't guna waste good food!

[jafar]

I think we need an independant person to draw the winner; I suspect only locals will ever win this thing..........................

Mabey you could put your hand up to do that, after all who could be more impartial than you

Haha sorry. I only hold a visitors permit to this ride as I am a woos and don't like the rain or cold (ha), but the team meet and leave from the BP station on the southern motorway just past the papakura exit heading south. They usually meet between 6 and 6.30pm. The route and destination is decided at the time as there are often riders of varying skills so to set a standard route is hard. I'm the one that sits in front of the Tail End Caseye cause I'm always the slowest ha

oh goody, didn't you red rep me or moderate me into the sin bin or something?

perhaps you did the same for crazy steve

revenge is sweet, come along to the BP Autobahn, that's the Motorway service station just south of Papakura. Time, about 6.30pm (not too much later or at least pm/txt one of us if you are going to be late)

we SATNR chaps and chapesses don't bite, honest occifer

[Lula]

I will be there this week either on something really expensive or something really cheap (all depends on the condition of the slick on the really expensive one)

[idleidolidyll]

I dunno,
might be out of town yet, depends on the speed of my production guys

[idleidolidyll]

From Lula's link:

• Of 110,000 registered bikes in NZ, 11% are owned by women.
• Of that 11%, 26% are riding bikes over 750cc.
• Women riders make up only 17% of all Motorcycle crashes.

So let me extrapolate: Only 11% of bike riders are chicks yet they have 17% of the accidents.

There are therefore 97,900 blokes on bikes, 12,100 chicks and an indeterminate number of transvestites, 5th sex's etc.

lets divide that down to an even 1000 overall by % to make the numbers easier to fathom. 110,000/110=1000

97900/110=890 blokes
12100/110=110 chicks

If there were say 1000 bike accidents per year amongst the total, then 830 of them would be by guys and 170 by chicks.

830/890=0.93258 accidents per bloke rider

110/110=1 accident per chick rider

On that basis, chicks are 7.2% MORE likely to have an accident than blokes

The obvious point therefore is that blokes are better riders

Thanks for that raw data Lula..........................chuckle

[idleidolidyll]

Lets continue a bit:

Off and on for a fair while, many of the bikes I rode were registered to my wife. I rode them much more than she did. She NEVER ever bloody ever rode my bikes (vertically challenged). Even when I almost never rode her bike/s, I always rode at least 5x as many km's per year on my own bike/s.

If that is a trend in the community (chicks owning bikes ridden by men and men riding more km's per annum), then the 11% of chicks actually ride significantly fewer road miles than blokes and, on an accident per kilometre ridden statistical scale: chicks are WAY more likely to have an accident than blokes.

Any of you floosies need some lessons? I'm quite cheap ya know.
