No it wasn't TS, I know, cause not only could I catch him, but I was able to pass him as well. :wacko:


I guess if lived in Wellytown, it would be like a normal day :whistle: .

But its pretty shitty, wind gusting about 60knts,

I think its suppoesed to clear later ??

If you do go out where are you heading ??

I just got back from a short ride on the SW motorway. Conditions are not good. Riding across the Mangere bridge was unpleasant. Those wind gusts are fiendish. Anyone who has to cross the harbour bridge today - take special care.

You had better put on a good day for us Friday F/F or you will never hear the end of it mate. :mega:

Its drizzling here at the mo, wind meant to pick up later up to gale force.

Southerly, so we can't blame you Ork's for being full of hot air, although on second thoughts, hot air rises, thus creating a vacuum in Ork, which drags in the southerly down here !!! :msn-wink:

[Al]

Yeah, riding from East Tamaki to the Shore this morning at 05:00 (after night shift) was a bit of a challenge! :2thumbsup

[Two Smoker]

Anyone who has to cross the harbour bridge today - take special care.Ehhh. Been across the bridge three times today, and it was... umm.. interesting.
But I've experienced worse. I'm looking forward to the trip home.:cool:

[Posh Tourer :P]

Try sitting at lights trying to lift a leg.....




To get the damn thing into gear!!

[FROSTY]

try a ride on the great white whale some day -shit it went quick with the wind behind it--needed to do some tacking riding into the wind though

[Firefight]

Well it was a bit windy today, but we still managed a short ride.

Andrew, Frosty and myself meet at Autobahn this pm, talked abit of shit, managed to upset some old bike hating tart.

Down to Drury off ramp, up old GSR, over the overbridge at Ramarama, up to Ararimu, Hunua, Clevedon, maretai, more coffee, more shit to talk, got booted out when they wanted to close shop, back to Clevedon, bit of refueling, cool now its raining as well :wacko: , Up to Ardmore, manurewa,onto the m/way, Andrew and I headed out to my work for a bit of dinner, and to wait for the wind to drop, it has only got worse :bye: , andrews heading back over the bridge, and now I settle into a 14 hour night shift, but, still got a ride, and thats the main thing !!!

Thanks for your company Andrew & Frosty.

[Redstar]

I've been commuting for 5 years accross the bridge and today was the windyist I think it was because the gusts were so fickle just when you had a wind lean it would drop to zero, 90klms It was worse on the way home but still had a dice with a CBR400RR who was that man? almost stupid as me?

Yeah, and if we can do it at 80 k's why do cage drivers have to slow to 50?
A little gybing and tacking never hurt anyone.
