Simple answer = Nothing
Long and difficult answer = Nothing ever, ever, ever.

Speed limits, traffic, other stereo typical idiot riders trying sniff the centre white line.

Nothing will ever make me sell my Monster.

Hey Betty so what are you saying ,Catch me if you can ? 8)
will we see you on the 6 oclock news [laugh] [laugh]
I must admit this has crossed my mind a few times (short trip)

Not me, you've seen the way I ride ... couldn't even catch a cold on a snowy trip to Lithgow. But some of the guys you see on the old road I reckon would just keep goin'.

As for the Monsters I can't see either of them going anywhere ... I believe the correct term is over-capitalised [roll] [laugh]

I love my Monster, and it would be a tough decision, and to be honest I really don't know if I could sell the bike, knowing how much blood, sweat and tears (And let's be honest, Money!  ;D) are involved in the modding and maintenance of the beast.

When I wrote this topic yesterday, I was very angry as I had been listening to ABC local radio and this topic of the speed limits being lowered was being discussed, it was then that the Local Traffic Branch senior Sargent Cockhead rang in to the show claiming that lowering speed limits was the only way to save lives, and then that's when he rattled off a number of roads that they wanted the limits lowered on.

It is annoying beyond words just how much the Motorists of Australia are being Arse raped under the false pretense of "Safety"
Our Roads are clogged with poor drivers, badly maintained vehicles of all shapes and sizes, roads that are to small and in very bad condition.
And the Answer? Slow every one down and fine the hell out of them for daring to be the tiniest bit over the limit, yeah, that'll fix the problem...  [roll] 

I understand where a lot of you are coming from when you advocate civil disobedience, but to me all that means are you are having to feed money (by the way of fines) into an already corrupt and broken system, and then with out any reason the Cops in Queensland can confiscate your bike for no reason under the Anti hoon laws. And I'll be pushing off a Cliff before that would ever happen!!

Maybe I'm just getting Grumpy in my old age  [laugh]

And you just know that the Safety Nazis will have lots of Cameras, radar etc on said newly rezoned roads to enforce the speed limits!!  [roll] [evil] [roll]

For our benefit of course, because these new zones arnt set up to raise more cash for the coffers?? Surely not?? [roll] [bang] [puke]

i for one will never conform to the safety nazis. i hereby vow publicly to laugh in the face of danger, scoff at the proposition of fines and demerit points and abscond at the first hint of blue lights.
they're only dropping the speed limits here in QLD because bligh has just about sent us broke and it's an excellent way of increasing indirect (road) tax, if you're used to a 100 zone and do 111, at 80 that's now 31 over which equates to 6 points and i think $380 or thereabouts. add to that if you're caught speeding in the same bracket, say 30 to 40 over twice in one year the fine and demerit points double, bye bye license. I say it's worth the gamble to say bye bye plod!

MMM.... Interesting question, but I, like you, would have to say DEATH!!
But with all these speed limits being reduced everywhere, isnt it nice to know that the authorties have seen the light and completely resurfaced Maquarie Pass with grippy hotmix. Us anarchists must chose our time and place.

I would never believe that of you, anarchist.

Someone holding a gun to my head or testicles would probably cause me to think long and hard about selling the s4.....

However, since Im here in QLD and the coppers cant even carry guns and Captain Bligh and her cronies wont leave us riders in peace, the gun to head/balls isnt likely to happen.

I'll just claim dyslexia or something and return to my civil disobediance/anarchism when set free from the clutches of the fun-police.

ive thought long and hard on this one and there is a reason why i would sell my monster TOO BUY ANOTHER ONE  [bow_down] if they ever bring one out i like better than mine  [thumbsup]

I'll probably get hate for this, but here goes..... I'd sell my monster for a Streetfighter S, and probably have to sell a kidney as well... Though even with the amazingly exorbitant price they're asking in Oz, Id still keep the s4 for as a "run about".
