I saw a biker on what looked like a blue sv1000s 2up nearly get killed when a whole bunch of cars in front of me got impatient and tried to overtake on a partial blind corner yesterday about 1pmish coming back to auckland from whangamata.

Just as a point of interest, a guy I know did something stupid/dodgy on the nw mway ages ago and a (presumably) off duty cop pulled up in the lane next to him and held his badge up to the window while shaking his head. The guy reckons it gave him a good wakeup call. Could be a useful tip for next time you see something like that, D50.

mark the best part of coromandel peninsula is after coromandel town... 'over the hill' (coro - whitianga) tends to top best marks from most people, and the short stint from there through back to Kopu is pretty good if you got a bit of power between your legs - The coast is just a warmup man :yes:

Sucks that the road is all screwed up though, hopefully they will have it fixed by the time my bike has been serviced and all the rest of the shit it needs is done.
