[rubbersidedown]

We've had a vote , There's a firm possibility of a definate maybe ..

Well thanks for pretending to at least think about it.

Dammit Rubb I'll be sending you a bill for a new keyboard that I just spit all over lol

If I spent the rest of my life riding the Isle of Man route everyday, that would work.

Got ya laughing,was it out your nose? That's always the best.
Daily rides on the TT...oh ya...

[rubbersidedown]

Rubb, that’s kind of you.
I will PM you her email, chat with her.
When I was her age I knew EVERYTHING. She is that age now, so I can’t help her much, you ever raised a strong headed girl, you would know.
Thx bro.

I have an' incredibly strong willed 27 year old. She is amazing. I dropped your daughter a line.

The immigration laws to come to Canada for foreigners have become very different and very strict over the last 10 years.
Everyone who think it's easy has NO idea.

Not only to mention the amount of money and work (application) you need...as well as the proof that you are not ending up as a burden to the system and after all the length for the whole process.
It's a huge pain in the butt.

There are certainly countries which make it much easier than Canada!

For some.... I'd look deeper into that.

Let's get two things straight! For starters I wish my GF did cut the lawn! But watching her trying to start it is painful Second of all don't tempt me with a good time riding my bike. But sadly I'm not sure I'd make it out the driveway with the little issue of pure ice.

I could hook you up with her mom she's single and little crazy (well alot crazy) you two might match up? But your busa is going to need a sask safety not sure it would pass... hahaha.

I was referring to your post about how easy it is to come TO Canada. It's not...that was all what I was saying.

There are rumors @Sandow is planning a visit to the states. So I was planning a kidnapping but then realized once he spends some time here, that won't be necessary.

Looks awesome.Rock those curves and light up the turbo upon exit...

The roads around here are a kiddie park ride compared to that.

I'm going to be the voice of reason, Rubba..... I know, out of character but...

Leaving Canada means leaving your disability benefits behind. Moving also costs a lot of money. Just moving from Ontario to BC cost me $10K. Then there's the expense of changing everything.... and finding someone to pass your bike for whatever out-of-district inspection is required. And finding a private insurance company who will willingly insure it. If you're thinking overseas, moving expenses will be insane... and you want to bring your bike with you? Costs of living are massive in many parts of the world (read: most desirable parts of the world) and make Canada seem almost cheap. Want to move to Australia? I think they require a six-figure deposit into a local bank... or something. I could DuckDuckGo it (Google is evil) but I'm too lazy...

And then there's the fact that travel is difficult at the moment and most countries aren't accepting potential covid-lepers from foreign lands.

Smart Rubb would stay in BC so everything remains as-is. I'd love to live in the interior and there are lots of lakes around if living by water is a must. Osoyoos area is great and all of the province's best driving roads are near your doorstep.

Just need a break? Store everything you have and move to Central America for a couple of years. Maybe volunteer at that sloth preserve down there... I'm sure it's a relaxing place to work. Or wait until the border reopens and spend a year touring the USA while couch-hopping org member's houses. Sometimes a break is all you need when the walls are closing in.

Speaking of Rubb. Anyone know where he is? Hopefully still alive?!

Yep, it's been a while. Sometimes he leaves for a while, hope to see him back.

[Kiwi Rider]

Man, it's been almost 4 years since this thread started, I haven't heard from ol' Rubb for a long time, hope he hasn't got himself into trouble. . . he has a good heart but he does seem to gravitate toward the 'dark side' unfortunately.
Anyway, he'll pop in at some stage, no doubt he'll miss his Busa family.

I see your bro’s are playing in my old Hood, at Ellis Park on Saturday. Any bets?

Oh yeah… I forget you lived here briefly, your old hood lol… Dunedin is so white in ethnicity they don’t really have ‘bro’s’ or ‘hoods’, the gang vernacular is not really a thing down there, the North Island as it gets browner, yes, the South not so much.
I don’t follow football at all, pretty thuggish and brutal for my liking, I prefer Motorsport or riding bikes or wrenching on bikes or looking at bikes or playing with bikes or talkin bout bikes… is there anything I’ve left out about bikes??
How long were you living in NZ?
There’s very few US citizens living here.
The culture is quite different between the two.

No, I lived in South Africa, Springboks versus the All Blacks. Rugby. Tomorrow 11:00 AM, Ellis Park South Africa.

I ran the Chicken Of The Sea operation in American Samoa for three years. Worked with a bunch of Kiwis and some Australians. We use to have interdepartmental Rugby sports days. Production versus Maintenance, etc., etc. I had some Americans on my team, some of them saw a rugby match for the first time and came to me and said: "You can't allow this, these guys are going to kill each other." LOL.

Uuuuhh… silly me lol
I thought you meant Ellis Park in Dunedin NZ…. Shows how much I know about international rugby lmao!
Yep, it’s a brutal game, the medical people that study messed up rugby players have only just worked out that the majority of rugby players have brain injuries caused by historical concussions.
Personally I think they had brain injuries to even make them want to play the silly game.
