Who fell off on the Harbour Bridge? (9 November)

[jtzzr]

Does anyone know who got blown off his/her bike on the harbour bridge this arvo at about 4.30 , hope the person concerned is O.K , my mate saw it and reckoned the rider was lucky to not get hit by cages behind him, he was on a ginny , anybody know?

[Grantasaurus]

Shit, my mate Ryan from Uni rides his gn250 across the harbour bridge every day.


Shit, better text him now... Hope he's OK

[Whynot]

cant say im surprised i almost went over a couple of times and i didnt go anywhere near the bridge ... :mellow:

[Grantasaurus]

No, it wasn't him thankfully.

He did say it was a bit hairy though. What's the wind at? 100ks?

Glad it wasn`t your mate Grantasaurus , hope it wasn`t a K`ber

[Wenier]

Haha definitely a nice breeze, you auckland guys have no idea. Bout time ya got a decent wind up there.

Apparently in singapore 5knots is to windy for r/c model aircraft ppl, its like what 5 knots in NZ thats not gonna stop ya.

Had some close ones tongiht...had a branch from a tree flung across the road at me, just ducked in time, and nearly got taken out by many bits of cardboard...and a few of those green recycling bins...was quite excillerating actually...at one stage when i was on a very exposed piece of road witht he wind hitting me side on, i was actaully riding with quite a bit of lean!...YEEHA

[hellnback]

Was a tad windy when I went over about the same time! Didn't see anyone bin it though.

Made it a bit tricky lane splitting... :shutup:

ON the way to Paeroa one year and I was leaning rather heavily in to the strong wind and all of a sudden it went away, not because of a hedge but as Death was coming by one one wheel!

[BarBender]

Yep them was some strong winds today...first time I have ever felt like the bike was going to get away from me...

[Gremlin]

pussies.... I had one little thing were the bike swerved underneath me from the wind, but that was it. Gotta love a stable bike :love:

I think splitting would still have been a doddle.

Corrected your little spelling mistake there mate.

[degrom]

A mild Wellington breeze :whistle:

L. O. L. . .

[Hawkeye]

Maybe you lot need to come down to Welly and get the learn from the crew down here. I can't remember the last time I managed to get out for a ride without it blowing a hoolie.

Easy for you..you're bullt like a Mac truck.

[Pwalo]

As our old mate Chopper would say "Harden the f*@# up".

Can be a bit hairy at times though can't it? You'll all be alright with a few more days practice.

[Lord Derosso]

And to think Hawkeye that my cheeky neice from AKL was telling me I should move up there to get away from the wind after my posting on Monday about the bloody wind down here. We dont have wind.. we have WIND and thats no cabbage.

[slimjim]

yahooooo ! it was so fucking nice day, first time in months wondered where our wind had fucked off too, yes definitely a soft breeze here, "O" i see you Aucklander's have borrowed it, that's okay it will return to us,:sunny: :shit:
manawatu :sunny: :sunny: :love:

[Swoop]

It was. Use the cages as a wind break and no worries (the trucks were a bit of a different story though...)!

[Tickler]

I had fun yesterday along tamaki drive. bit of mean going on, nothing a bit of counterwindsteering couldnt fix.

At the bridge near the boat sheds the wond was behind me and had a bit of trouble stopping. Except when i had to move forward all i needed to do was release the brakes and hey presto...20km's with team newzealand power!

[Colapop]

Beautiful day today. Went for a lunch-time cruise out to Kapiti - ahhh life is hard.

[Clivoris]

The hoolies must love that.

[Colapop]

[Hawkeye]
