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

**Macstar** · 7th August 2008, 09:22

Well boys and girls, it was fun - but my road riding days have come to an end for at least the next two years. Yes, the NZ Police have bled me financially dry and taken my license for a fourth time. Now with just 10 demerit points left for the next 2 years, I simply cannot continue biking on-road.

My bike will be put up for sale this weekend but I will keep my riding gear for possible motard and bucket racing...

I want to keep this brief, so I will just say - cheers for some wicked rides and good times. If I do get into racing, I expect to see you guys there picking me and my bike up off the track!

One last thing: stay alert folks, there are more cops turned-revenue-hunters out there now than ever, and they are all looking for YOUR blood. There are few "times and places" now to have a little fun on your bike.

Oh man that's sad to hear!!! I'd wondered why you've been so quiet lately.

It's been awesome riding with ya, I'm sure we'll see you back out there again someday

P.s. Don't be a stranger when it comes to the chiller!

I know that he'd rather be doing 59.99km/h on a motorbike than 55km/h in a bus.

I tried giving up biking once. Within that 2 months everytime a bike went pass me my hands started to shiver and I knew I was missing out on all the fun.....but in my case there was no demerit or licence issues.......

Ironic really, a cb900 keeps me out of trouble, the zx10 and others got me into plenty.

Can't fault him for trying tho

Macstar: not sure how losing your license and only having 10 dm work, unless you got a 28 day? Best of luck tho, you have to do what you have to do.

slow down but keep riding, i managed to make it thru 20 months with only 5 points to go.had a couple of close calls tho

**avgas** · 7th August 2008, 11:58

do what i did when i had 5 points to the license, i bought a bike i could not get a top speed in.
GN125.
Also when i need to get no tickets over 140 - i got the GB400 (although she did eventually get gearing to 160)
