Meh. Rain. It's only water falling out of the sky.
You're right about the car though Dave. Can't fit four kids on the bike. The wife's Odyssey is sloooooooooooooooooow...

And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Shirt lifters!
I ride every day regardless of conditions, do not own a car and never will.
gee wizzz
I guess I'm just in I dont give a fuck mode.
Transport wise I just do what I need to do to get the job done.
Zap to the bank or do a rego on a sold vehicle-hop on the scooter.
Rip out to sarf auckland to get a bit of paper-big bike
Pick up a trailee -Car with trailer.
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
Just slightly disturbed.
I vote you take a spare helmet (and maybe a jacket) and give in to temptation and ask her. What have you got to lose?Originally Posted by madbikeboy
I have not been out on the bike for a couple of weeks cause I have become a human taxi for the 4 smaller members of the family at this their busiest time of year.
fwiw? I dont like ballet
I dont like cricket (especially on hot days)
I dont like prizegivings where I have to wear a skirt
I dont like end of year parties at school
I dont like camp
I dont like supermarket shopping
and I dont like my heavy, slow nissan van.
At this point riding in the rain is very appealing. At least once I get my full I will be able to pillion the kids and that should help.
yep.. I need to HTFU too.
I wouldn’t be broke if the voices in my head paid rent
Little ol'Hornet Rides again!
Ahhh mr Shaolin Monk has been presented with the peaches of temptation!His mind is now focussed on other more mortal concerns, his yang needs the yin to produce a mellifluous conjunction of mind and body.
Tarry not long in the shade, allow those seeds to bud where they may
For youth squander not in your days and content in the ground you shall lay!

I say STFU not HTFU, I ride for enjoyment, I don't enjoy riding when it's pissing it down.
I almost got on the bike this morning but the weather was awful, glad I drove to work today. I may change my mind if I get stuck in traffic on the way home but it's nice to sit back and relax and listen to the news every once in a while.
No fun having to nurse the throttle around corners in these conditions

Mmm, this Shaolin Monk is only human, well, at least, the non-ninja parts of me are human... As for spreading seed around the place, alas, I have little opportunity to do so...Ahhh mr Shaolin Monk has been presented with the peaches of temptation!

It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

The Silver Slug (AKA the BMW) needs a calendar to measure its 0-60... I once tried finding the top speed, but as I was waiting to get there, I ran out of food in the car, my facial hair starting getting too long, and I needed to go to the bathroom (falling asleep always makes me need to go piss)...

Best Frenemy you could have!
Don't have a car... get questioned by clients why I use a bike (especially in winter).
Easy answer is, considering most days I criss-cross the city attending to problems, and worst days consist of travelling between albany-cbd-east tamaki who knows how many times... did they actually want their problem sorted that day?
A lot is sorted remotely, allowing 6+ "site visits" a day, sometimes before midday... but I love riding.

Mate your in luck!On the very wet journey into work today (Auckland is under dark skies, wind, and sideways rain) I realised that I'm soft.
I've been riding most days (in fact I'm riding about 4 out of 5 days),
So, I need to HTFU right? Grow some balls? Be a man?
During your commute over the coathanger everyday you must see that Sgt on a Bavarian Mad Woman( think he has got the R1200 they tried to stitch me up with..but dont hold that against him) Hes a good dude!
Stop by and tell him that Nod told you he had a supply of HTFU pills and you'd like some! I never needed them when I was working cause I didnt have to ride a Bloody Mutant Womble but now when I work 14hours every day I need a whole bottle of em!!
On another note I guess the roads must be safer in Jaffaland now theres not a pig on a Honda to look out for!
Hows ya track bike coming along?
stay cool and ride everyday not just 5 days a week
RIDE THE ROAD....RACE THE TRACK.....DRAG THE STRIP......NODMAN....retired(now whose happy?)

You do so! How do you and Mrs 6pak get to parties ?? jog?....
Can give good aural pleasure
You think riding to work today was bad, you should try riding FOR work! Especially with tyres barely wider than bicycle tyres, the rear fishtailed around quite a bit today! And not on purpose, either, although it is fun locking up the rear when it's dry making a loud screeeech coming up to intersections and watching people brace for the impact, haha.
Haha, that'd be me...
Motorcycling is like life - it's about the journey, not the destination.

Hey, track bike is still a pile of bits, but there's less bits and more bike which seems like progress.
As for your mate, I think he stopped me the other day, nice guy, let me off for a ticket which he knew wasn't fair since a cager was trying to convert me to roadkill at the time...
I'll be seeing him again soon enough

I've got no choice what the weather is like, only got the beaut so its all weather for me.On the very wet journey into work today (Auckland is under dark skies, wind, and sideways rain) I realised that I'm soft.
I've been riding most days (in fact I'm riding about 4 out of 5 days), but wet days pose a problem in terms of turning up to client meetings dripping...
But, and here's the admission, as I watched bike after bike zip past, it was actually kind of nice to be able to adjust the temperature, and it was kind of neat not having to think "road surface change, is that guy going to pull out, where's my escape route, can I wheelstand here, nice legs on her, where's my turn in point, where's my braking marker"...
Instead I was listening to Toni Childs in my head (it took me about half the journey to recall I had a stereo, and given the boredom that was fast setting in, that was kind of useful).
So, I need to HTFU right? Grow some balls? Be a man?
Well, let me explain, that "nice" sensation lasted about 1.2 kilometers. And as I sat in traffic wondering why everyone was driving so fucking slow, all I could do was watch the bikes zip past and wish I was with them... Tomorrow, I'm going to be visiting clients, and their reception areas are getting wet...
I want to ride everyday...... Fuck work
