Anyone around here in Dunedin?

[jasonu]

Couldn't find much recent activity in/from Dunedin with the search function so gave up trying and started a thread.

Will be moving to Dunners sometime next month (Aug 2014) and was wondering who on here is a southern biker and open to showing the new guy around when possible?

Cheers!

Dunedin

Wet cold place.

Riding for a few weeks a year other than that its a cold student city.

That's fine ... but what do you do in the winter .. ??

I guess if you are all that worried about the chrome and your leather tassles you would only ride a few weeks a year. There are probably half a dozen days each year where I cannot ride due to the ice between where I live and the main road. You can dress for all the rest.

Didnt know you were on the rag....

You win my dear.....

Dunedin is a hot city....

Very hot.....

now calm down....

They can all afford to go on holiday on account of the savings they make not having to run things like fridges n freezers.

I know they have pretty stiff fines for chopping down trees there ... anything burnable ... gets burnt ..

Open Plan buildings were invented in Dunedin .. (less doors that can be taken off and burnt)

Bad place to get sick,all the hospital wards are full of depressed cunts due to the weather.Actually make that the weather and there shit rugby team.

The only thing Im not keen on in Dunedin is turning down towards the wharf when your coming from the south, with a long transporter or lowbed. That intersection is a cunt with a capital C.

Apart from that, it is a step up from Gorrrre every now and then when theres some bands on.

And that's only the staff that have to live in Dunedin ... the patients usually live elsewhere ... and it's warm in the wards ....

They do play better ... in Queensland ... for some reason ..

The plentiful supply of frozen vegetables is a bonus ... but digging them out of the frozen ground can be a bitch ..

and rent, lets not forget saving on rent. Heck, I'd buy me my next bike just on rent savings (counting the cost of 'buying' firewood)
