What a great adventure . Greetings from another Coromandel resident - you're missing some good fishing
haha nice wee write up man. My cousin is over that way at the moment and is also loving it. Enjoy the rest of the trip!
What a neat time. The rough sections of road simply add to the experience. Keep the reports coming.
Here's a few things I've been taught: Make up your mind and commit - you need to be decisive. Slight hesitation can cost you seconds of precious braking, speeding up or swerving time.Awareness of surroundings: I regularly check my mirrors because I need to know my escape routes. Also, I always cover my brakes while commuting
sounds to me like you are having fun plum
And I forgot the biggest one: STAY OUT OF PEOPLES BLIND SPOTS!! The road code has a few good pointers one of them being "Speed up or slow down to get out of dangerous situations" and one of those is blind spots. Thanks for all the great comments!!!
Can't think of anything I don't agree with there. Point 5 an 6 I feel should just be common knowledge and general courtesy, But so often it isn't the case. Hopefully this will help some people out and get all us road users working more efficiently.

Yes ditto that, if you just give a friendly wave (if you can), then it's the old winning hearts and minds thing

This is very good. Excellent Juniper! One for the list - pretend that EVERYONE wants to KILL you!

I like. From my experiences riding everyday for the most part of this year it's pretty much spot on. Just don't be a cunt (unless it's a good cunt) and assume that everyone hasn't seen you
No idea how it got into Pocket Bikes?!
I look forward to hearing more.

Numb bum? nah the scooter seat is no worse than any motorbike I've owned, and infact, better than most. Plus which, with re fueling every 120k or so, and stopping to take photos etc,I dont stay seated for any long spells.

Thanks for pointing that out.
