URGENT WARNING

[justsomeguy]

To those foolhardy fucktards that wish to cross the harbour bridge:

May I recommend that you refrain from doing so.

The winds are bloody wellingtonian - must be cos of that dirty white bastard who's joined us.

Small sportsbikes will get blown into the other lane if they don't resort to weird contorting movements like a downhill skier to keep it rubber side down.

:apint: guys

[crashe]

well me and Keystone are heading the other way (Greenheithe) to get to the shore...

[FROSTY]

Well I came over it this morning on my lil bicycle-a lil bit windy to say the least.

[Mr Skid]

Harden up ya poof, it's just a mild blow. I'd be out there doin' wheelies in this if I had any wet weather gear.A bike would help too wouldn't it?

Was going down the mway from Papakura into Mt Wellington in my mates cage. We abandoned trying to get across the bridge after the cage started aquaplaning and getting blown half across the lane the whole way along the motorway :/

It was pretty fricken bad. No wonder that dude binned the plane turning or something.

Just another day at the Rimataka office mate. There's a reason us Welly riders wear the sides of our tyres first. It's cos we're always riding on an angle to track against the wind.

Yup I figured that out too.. it's the only way to manage to keep filtering:2thumbsup and it's a bloody fun thing to do too.

And by the way - Speedmedic is a foolhardy fucktard who has just admitted he's a viagra junkie too.

Thanks for offering me a place in the ambo mate. I'll drive and you lie in the back, pop some viagra and look carefully with your glasses to see if it's working:lol:

[SPman]

I was over there today----bit blustery but..seemed OK to me....
Dunno what yer on about.....

[sAsLEX]

You think thats bad then try driving a 2.5 ton ambulance over there at 130 ks with all the windage of a small building and pissing rain..... then come and call me a foolhardy fucktard. Might find yourself along for the ride.

pfft easy try driving a 800 kg jeep, dont got any weight to hold the tires down so just slide all over the place, plus it has crazy windage being designed similar to a brick

Sounds like a friggen suzuki escudo :|

NO weight in the rear and a tiny 1.6 engine up front... high cog and gets blown around like a sailboat.

nope mighty samurai and it aint got a 1600 only 1300 cc of pure power, well actually less than me 400 i think. Great off road had aa heap of fun up at the bombing rang today, mind you the SCU were back at Murawai again today! not good

[RiderInBlack]

That's alright Speed Medic. Don't let a little wind over the bridge faze you, JSG. The GC has run in weather like yesterday.

PS: JSG, you might find that a few of us have difficulty taking biking advise from you as we seen your riding.

[sAsLEX]

Yep another high speed roll over in a 4wd.. these guys are fstupid. The guys ok though, heard westpac on the air at work telling the hospital what was wrong with the guy, Sweet FA really.. but he got throwen 50 feet...whatever that is in metres.

must be either going way too fast or just dumb, one of the guys I was with drifts his suzi up and down the beach at 80 no problems, cept his fuel cap wasnt quite up to standard and when he hung the right out fuel would leak out!

[Pancakes]

Yo, WINJATRON. The clearance is some formula like the average of the 3 highest tides in the last 100 years or some crap. We go brideswinging off there sometimes (right over that main span) and get 24 metre swings without touching the water.

[Lou Girardin]

What wind? Now't but a gentle zephyr.
Harden up.

[loosebruce]

LOL, fuck yea bro, was following a guy on a XJ up the hutt side, was bout 20 metres behind him and the wind picked him up and blew into the barrier, only doing 60odd kph bike was sort alright (rideable) and he was fine.
Dont know what all these akld folk are complaining about really, they dont know wind. And no one know wind like WT, being bikes or the girl.

[Mattyc]

saw a break in the weather an hour ago and went for a ride out thru gt south road ramarama, and then back thru runciman road, was good on the way, weather turned to crap on the way back, on top of a ridge dropping into a corner it got a bit hairy when the wind decided to push me over a bit further... ass puckered for a 1/4 of a second, got home with seconds to spare - Hail, i pity anyone who HAS to ride today..

[Smorg]

Was gale force on the northern last night from about 9 -10pm.............was blowing me right over into left hand lane i'd hate to see how a 250 would handle it (my bikes fucken heavy) ended up pulling off 1 off ramp to early....bit of a scary ride just for a bootie call :blip:

Ratty's a 250, wind was blowing him about a bit yesterday and today.

Seen worse though. You just have to realise it's gonna happen and keep loose and relaxed, let the bike wander around in it's own lane. Almost quite enjoy it m'self, bit of a challenge.

[crashe]

Just seen TV1 news and weather update...
Its snowing down in Christchurch...
Dunedin will get some snow today as well.
Wellington will turn bittery cold.
Auckland more heavy rain with thunderstorms this arvo
Hamilton... more rain...

Right someone has really pissed off the Goddess....

[Mattyc]

Hailing in papakura again ! , driving in nice n swiftly

[Krayy]

Heres a good chance to test the handling of your bike. Just try and dodge the hailstones as you're riding!!! :dodge:

[BigB]

Not looking forward to the ride home that's for sure. But that's what you get when you ride every day!!

It was allright at first but i got the occassional blast coming into the bottom of the valleys where all the wind was being channeled that scared the shit outta me, ive been blown about before but this was pretty bad

[sunhuntin]

was hailing this morning about 8.30ish...heard it pelting on the windows and woke up, lol. first thought "wish id covered the bike!" went outside and the area around the bike was wet, but the bike itself was dry. weird! [she gets parked under a carport]

as for wind...its been windy here for the past few days...interesting coming down and going up the hill where i live. but im used to it now. ride to and from work across the cobham bridge, where the wind whips in from ocean or off the river [speed limit 80k] rather interesting, but a challenge and good practise. i enjoy it, makes things different!

[Riff Raff]

ps.. Im tired and have just done a hell night shift so red rep me all you like you gay homo's.
Grumpy bugger, aren't you??? What a night, tho eh? Mine consisted of a lot of being out in the pissing rain and strong winds perfecting my techniques for breaking into houses and climbing in through high windows to pick up nana's who had fallen on the floor and couldn't get up. Why do they all leave keys out for you, then barricade all the doors so you can't get in?

[Lou Girardin]

T'was strange on the bridge last night, I swung around the right hander onto the bridge proper and nearly all wind pressure and noise stopped. It must have been blowing from dead behind, like riding in a vacuum.

[justsomeguy]

Yeah whatever, why dont you piss off back to india or whatever fucked up third world country your from.

ps.. Im tired and have just done a hell night shift so red rep me all you like you gay homo's.

A bloody racist joke?? Anybody can think of that Mr Redneck.

You'll need to work harder to earn some red rep........

[justsomeguy]

That's alright Speed Medic. Don't let a little wind over the bridge faze you, JSG. The GC has run in weather like yesterday.

PS: JSG, you might find that a few of us have difficulty taking biking advise from you as we seen your riding.

I wasn't advising anyone. The wind was hard enough to make me feel at risk. The warning signs on the Motorway were lit up saying: WARNING HIGH WINDS DRIVE WITH CAUTION.

Just giving others a heads-up.

We can discuss your disapproval of me when we meet next in person.

[oldrider]

Hey riffraff, did you leave your bike out in the rain? (avatar)

[R6_kid]

yay im a fool hardy fucktard!

i rode across it twice that day. Also went out last night when the weather was at its worth...

Doesnt quite beat the freak thunderstorms from a month or two ago... i was doing 110 along the northern *river* motorway... i think i got something like 15mm of rain in a matter of minutes... VERY VERY WET

[FROSTY]

I dropped the SV off to Kerry at Motohause for tyres yesterday.
mental not to self -Unloaded toyota hiace highroof in a big wind on harbour bridge--very um "interesting" to drive

Agreed. I think those high, slab sided, light Jappa vans are worse than a bike in cross winds. I've known a HiAce bodily shoved sideways by the wind on a wet road. Not just swerving, physically pushed directly sideways .

Cross winds are something that always frightens early riders (does anyone like the term "early rider" - it seems less derogatory than "newbie" , or "n00b" and such like ) but IMHO they feel more scarey than they really are. Only people I've ever heard of coming off cos of wind have actually jammed their brakes on when they got a fright and locked up a wheel. Relaxed arms , ride with the wind, and let it weave about a bit.

Well said Ixion, I've had the chance to experience some seriously strong winds on that bridge on my old 250 and my new precious (Suzuki Volusia 800 :2thumbsup ) and like you said, it's best to relax and take it easy. In the begining I used to shit myself, brake hard and panic, but I have since learnt to deal with it nicely.

And can everyone lay off JSG, he was just giving us a heads up.

[zjet]

i have been in gale force winds riding through Featherston and it can be very scary.

Best bet as said above is to relax and just ride sideways Kinda strange feeling tho going in a straight but riding like ya going round a hair pin at the track :)
Relax and go with it its heaps of fun oonce ya use to the feeling.

[RiderInBlack]

Yes but this is advice not a heads up.:

Might explain Speed Med's reply. By the way I would not call a Ambo Officer a junkie. Very bad luck that, especial if you ride motorbikes, you never know when you will need them. It's no fun for those guys when they have to peel our spatted shit of the road.

Which is why I posted what I did, JSG. Sorry if you have a problem with that.

Isn't Wellington know as the windy city?? Everyone else got it......

I've also gotten to know Jimmy aka WT through the forum and in person and he knows what I really think of him through several PM's I sent him when he first moved here some months ago.

I know Glen too and we've given each other shit several times before. He a very nice guy who has my full respect. Sue, Jennifer, Glen, Dave are all top legends as far as I'm concerned and most of them know I respect them so.

Which is why I posted what I did, JSG. Sorry if you have a problem with that.

Don't really have much of a problem with it - just curious as to why any of the above was any of your business as you:

A) obviously didn't know my relationship between these people

B) you weren't affected by this thread directly in anyway -

C) Wasn't is soo bloody obvious that I was taking the piss?? Isn't this an informal place - not a court of law.......

And this isn't the first time either - you seemed to be rather vindictive towards me in Placidfemme's ride thread too. Where by the way knowing the name of someone available with a trailer may have been a help to one person who broke down.




Of late my hours on KB have been greatly reduced and I hate seeing and having to deal with stuff like this in the limited time I do have here.
