| 653601 | 2008-03-28 19:55:00 | Go for bike, you will love. Just got rid of mine because we couldn't afford to run two cars and a bike:mad: | plod (107) | ||
| 653602 | 2008-03-28 20:50:00 | Bike - for the same reasons that Metla states: fun and cost . Plus, over time, the experience of riding a bike will make you a far better driver of a car . I was a motorcycle courier back in the mid 80's, early 90's - 2 years in London followed by 5 years in Auckland . I can honestly say that in the seven years riding for a living (6000km per month average) I came off 5 times . All were my own fault and all were at under 30km/h . Ride like everyone is out to get you (subconciously they are! :)) and don't do stupid stuff and you will be fine . |

| 653603 | 2008-03-28 21:10:00 | What sort of budget do you have for a vehicle? I commute 30km a day into Wellington and back on my Yamaha 1200 which is far too big for the commuting role but I love it . . . (parking for cars is a nightmare in the capital) . I was going to suggest a scooter but when I saw the 40km presumably most of it 100km/hr area . A bigger scooter will do 100km/hr but a 50cc won't (unless its turbo charged :drool ) So I probably just added to your confusion:p |

| 653605 | 2008-03-28 21:48:00 | And a bus is harder to park than a bike!! :D | johcar (6283) | ||
| 653606 | 2008-03-28 22:22:00 | Bike. More dangerous but more fun and economical. And because it is more dangerous, you will be a better car driver because you HAVE to ride defensively. And check out Kiwibiker.co.nz, Plenty of info, advice, organised rides and insane arguments (couple of doozies going on at the moment) over there. Kiwibiker is tops. Join and post that you want to get a bike, how much you have to spend, and what you are thinking of getting (Trademe is a good place to start), and you will get lots of advice. BTW, if the PF1 mods ever look at how Kiwibiker is controlled, they will be blown away. |

Indeed, once you upset the mod crew at Kiwibiker your stuffed.Big time.:clap Muhahahahahahahaha. Though I see little cohesion between what they permit, what they encourage and what they get upset about.... |

| 653608 | 2008-03-28 22:40:00 | I see they are planning on removing the 70km/hr limit for learner & restricted riders, and also changing from a CC limitation to a power to weight limitation. Both very good ideas. | Greven (91) | ||
