Is it an ominous sign…

Haha, yep I got wetter than ever before today coming home from work. The traffic down Hobsonville road came to a standstill in the narrow section where they are working on the new motorway - no room to split so basically stopped in the pouring rain. Had to wring out my gloves when I got home.

you north island cunts may not believe it but the lower south island has some pretty decent weather sunny and around 20 here today just back from the toy run

This 'north island cunt' is also enjoying sunny and around 20 today!

I hate riding in the rain but not as much as I hate public transport or sitting in a car for hours going nowhere.

I have to agree with this. In fact I so often preferred to ride rather than drive even (especially) in wet weather that I put less than 1000ks on the car in a year and sold it rather than register it. Now I don't own a car and I don't miss it at all. Riding is better no matter what the weather!

Wow, that's some low mileage going on a car. I would sell the car cause I never use it but Mrs GOONR reckons it's handy for carting around midget GOONR, shopping and stuff like that.

Yeah, but I rode over 20,000ks in the same year.

A bit off thread, sorry. I always feel nervous having to ride in the rain, especially in the city but once I get on the bike I love it. It seems to make me concentrate a tad more & ride better which is a good feeling. Not really any slower either. I must admit to being a wuss now but I have spent years riding in the worst weather that Scotland & northern England could throw at me.

Same, the thought of riding in the rain is quite often (for me) worse than actually riding in it. I do go a lot slower round corners and stuff but I haven't been riding that long so I guess I'm over cautious. Would sooner be cautious than on my arse.
