Survival Skilz from the 3rd world (or where do those sport car types hang out?)

I actually suspect the individual is a Lycra lout hence the defence of their position on the road but should they ever take the time to have a look at this road and the situation there they might agree it is high time the police did an exercise there and on the Lyttelton Sumner road and start laying prosecutions for some of the inappropriate and seriously dangerous behaviour and disregard for the laws/conditions.

Tui, anyone?

Tui, anyone?

Unfortunately this is probably the case.

Ahhhhh...Summit Road. I cut by biker teeth up there, many years ago now. Riding that road was how I learned to corner, to relax and let the bike do the work, to trail brake as well...them were the days.

Not too many sports cars cutting the corners when I was up there. The worst I had happen was riding it at night once. The headlight went out half way round a looong corner, with a million foot drop on my left and a million foot cliff face on my right. That one required very careful braking (fairly quickly as I recall) without allowing the bike to alter its route through the corner - in the pitch black of a moonless, overcast night...

That smartened up the old knees a little...
