Please NOTE: If I offend you with any of my posts or comments, please remember that.
1. I do it on purpose
2. I dont give a shit
3. Tell some one who cares.
Just read in the paper:
Muldoon`s Corner work set to begin August 31.
Better get some runs in before that section (Hutt side) turns to shit.
With past experiences the works will probably drag on for months.
Let the good times roll
Scratch the "months" bit.
Just read further...make that 3 YEARS!!
Let the good times roll
Yeah read it in the Upper Hutt Leader this morning. Some of my favourite ones are going.![]()
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

I saw that too...... bugger, need to find somewhere new to ride my big bike, lucky I have bucket racing to cure my need for being an egg, but their doing away with my favourite corner!!!!![]()
Who's organising the farewell hillclimb and the wake?
I'm getting new tyres on Tuesday. They obviously will need scrubbing in.

OMG..! I'm crying into my pint reading this. That'll leave Paekakariki and Blue Mountains as the only twisty hill climbs. (I'm not counting Wainui)
They are only doing 3 corners and widening the road so when they finish it, it shouldn't be too bad. Two of the corners they are doing need it. Things can get a bit tight if you meet a truck coming down just as you reach them.
It's the down time for riding the hill while they are doing the work that will be the pain.
I'm only wearing black until they develop something darker
We came, We listened, And in one voice we answered
BULLSHIT!! BULLSHIT!! BULLSHIT!! BULLSHIT!! BULLSHIT!!
Bridge to bridge times will need to be recalibrated once the works are done.

Even in the car I get feed up with this removing corners to make it "safer". It just makes the trip so damn boring. You would think with the blaming of excessive speed for just about everything known to man that they would be putting more corners in to slow everyone down. Praps in the future they'll zig zag roads to replace straights. You read it here first![]()
The corners they're reprofiling are the ones where trucks have to swing on to the other side of the road to get around.
Given the propensity for motorcyclists to hug the centre line on the Hill, I would have thought you'd welcome the safety measures undertaken to improve your experience of the Hill.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Doesn't look so bad. Tight corners replaced with fast sweepers.
Just means the average speeding ticket issued for that stretch will rise. Time to place a speed camera there to pay for the roadworks. I should work in the Public Services, self-funding dept.

Someone should open a Cafe at the summit. They would do well from the work crews.
