judging also from the amount of slick 4wd's at woodhill or hunua in the weekends there must be a tonne of people who carry their bikes around on the back of their range rover. Are these people not vorbies?
or is it that vorbies are in their teens/ 20's and can't yet afford to have slick 4wd's and mint bikes?

No, we just have our priorities right

That's spot on! I will pay lots for a nice bike(s) as I spend a fair bit of time on them and it's a big part of my lifestyle ... but so far my $900 '84 charade has done everything I would want to do in an Audi RS4. 
Except pull chicks 
so maybe there is something wrong with this logic after all ...

My bike is worth about 1/3 of what my car is worth but that's only cos I can't afford anything better right now. The next bike I wanna get will be worth about the same as my car (it's insured for $1500) and once I've built up my other bike that will probably be worth the same or a bit more. I have no intentions of upgrading the car unless buying a bike rack counts as an upgrade :P
I'm just addicted to mtbing and cars are for getting places quick and easy.

Mitsi V3000 (goes like a rocket)...Bought car for $800 of some old RSA Type who kept it in pristine condistion. |
I used to love V3000's $800 thats cheap.!, actually my favourite car ever was a 1987 Mitsi Sigma GSR-X NZ New, damm quick. |
the only thing broke on it is the Air con...which will stay broke..estimated $600 to fix..
But pretty quick little cars...not that economical tho..
recently stuck on the ass of a late model Holeden SS..chased it from Havelock to Nelson...he couldn't loose me ..he did have better cornering though..all that Race tuned suspension...mind you I know the road real well.

Its a close one but the new car has changed the equation again.
Time for a new bike to even things back up.....
