Is it safe to ride in Christchurch?

[SMOKEU]

There have been several fairly violent after shocks in Christchurch today, so if I go out for a ride and a quake strikes, am I likely to crash?

Ride like the wind and you'll be fine :)

[Bobbyman]

Drink Red Bull and you should be ok ;)

[bogan]

just serpentine that shit! Think you'd be alright though, lateral movent goes both ways in a quake right? so you won't have a choice but to serpentine :p

As long as you are not a five year old boy on a push bike you should be fine.

I'll full pin it and hope for the best.

A decent one about 20 minutes ago. I rode over Dyers Pass yesterday and survived. TBH I'm not sure you'd noticed it if you were traveling at speed. Then again, maybe it would cause you to spin out into a violent crash.

Hope that helps :D

I went over Dyers Pass on Saturday, and luckily there were no shocks.

You know the feeling, when you're in a stationary car and you can easily rock it from side to side while sitting inside it, but at 50kmh you can't do that? I wonder if the same rule applies to bikes. I really do like my fairings the way they are.

...if you were riding on the old Tai Tap Rd, it wouldnt matter if it shook or not, theres still a likelihood you'd have an off if you thought you might ride it like days of old...

That's a good start :) but really, be more fun on MX/Trail bike going by the pic's of some of your roads down there :) time for a trade in?

I was riding around an hour after you posted during those big aftershocks, didn't notice a thing.

The humps will get you - there are many many roads with unexpected humps in them or mid corner that could easily throw you.

Take care if you are riding.

why da f*ck would Christchurch be the only safe city to ride in......?

Shocking............:scooter:

[SMOKEU]

It obviously wasn't safe to be riding a scooter in Christchurch tonight, judging by the scooter I saw binned on Fitzgerald Ave, with 2 cops cars at the scene and the scooter rider sitting down on the middle of the road talking to the po-leese.

Dam humps took me by surprise when I was out doing my practical ride!!! Especially on the 250 :shit:

yeah, i did a ride over to akaroa yesterday and there were a few small cracks in the road on the corners which turned out to be quite slippery!
