-You can strip, respray and rebuild one in a day.
-A respray only takes 10 minutes and costs $5 in paint. -There is nothing on it you can't fix with a hammer and an allen key. -You can be as trashed as you like and ride your pushie. -Police can't defect it. -It comes stock with 21 inch wheels! ...and is manual too!. -it has no dodgy electrical system on it that when it breaks, either takes me spending hours poking around -with a multimeter or paying some dodgy japanese guy with a gold tooth to come round, poke about with his multimeter and say "I not know probrem, that be free hundred dorrar". -Spare bike parts are a dollar a dozen. -If you strip a pushie and leave it on your lawn, kids will remove it for you, and not charge you $20. -Pushies don't have a goddamn AFMs or CAS to break!. -You have absolutely no chance of pulling chicks on a pushie, saving you even more money!. -The govt. can't ****** you in the **** at every turn for liscence money, insurance, rego, fines, transfer fees, petrol tax on your pushie. -My g/f deosn't hassle me 24/7 to drive my pushie, unlike my car. -If I want to go really fast, I just need a big hill, not $10,000. -If I get cleaned up on my pushie, I have nice big compo payouts to look forward to, not an $800 excess! Either that or crippling head injuries, in which case I won't care either way. -Wiggas won't debadge your pushie or break a $50 window to steal $2.50 in loose change and your ashtray. -A retrim is as involved and expensive as changing the seat, I can finally get that leather upholstry I've always wanted.

I drive my ute to work in the morning with the pushy on the back on my L's then mum drives the ute home and I ride the pushbike home after work.
Only takes me around 15mins to get home apposed to a 10min drive. I'm overtaking most of ther cars in traffic when I'm on the pushbike on the way home it's ony when I hit the suberb I lose time. For long distance travel definatly car for high traffic 2-5km distances defintaly pushy. Nothing better than swerving inbetween cars that are traveling at 15km and laughing as people shout abuse at you. "wear a f******* helmet" "get off the f******* road" Be better once I get my motorbike licance though. |

My pushie nearly cost me as much as my car...Spares cost more then spares for my car, Chicks dig my bike....Bikes are sometimes worse then cars, You ever tried tuning gears or dialing in a rear shock...not fun.

You don't get exhaust or oil leaks
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY You don't get dents on your pushie when you park it too close to other pushies !!!!!!!......... :ticking:

Ive been warned for riding a pushy when under the influence - threatened with a fine. Probably a good thing the officer told me to sod off home before i hurt myself
