Bright Orange Vest, L Plate and what looked like a top box.
I hope you are a member here mate and that you read this, because I have some serious concerns about your personal safety.
I saw you almost become a hood ornament no less than 3 times in 45 secs this afternoon, I'm not sure if it is a lack of experience on your part or that you want to play by the rules and only do 70K, but mate, you cannot do 70 on the motorway, you just cant.
On one occasion, you moved left into a lane and a cage had to slam on the brakes to avoid running you over, simply because you were going 30k slower than he was and you didn't see him coming.
If it's a lack of skill on your part, I would urge you to attend the AWNMR (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=53059&highlight=AWNMR) out in west auckland.
And if you are just trying to play by the rules, i would urge you search the forum for all the threads that deal with riding at 70K on the motorway, i'm pretty sure they will change your mind.
If after all that you choose to ride at 70 then please, for your own personal health and in order to spare the rest of us another biker down thread, stay off the motor way in rush hour traffic.
I admire your commitment to riding, i really do, I know guys who wont ride in the rain and that alone sets you apart as someone that loves to ride and I for one want you to continue to ride for as long as you possibly can.
One that note, I'll finish, but if you would like some help or advice, there are lots of people who would be more than happy to hear from you, myself included.
Ride safe.
