    Calling out the kiwis

    So....a wee trickle of rain and saw exactly one handful of bikes over 2 days. 2 of these bikes being ridden by tourists. Practically had the Coro loop to myself. So much for the adventuring kiwi spirit.

    Kiwi blokes becoming genteel new age men or what?

    Too many people that only ride their bikes on sunny weekend days, keep them in garages their whole life, have to buy new batteries coz the old ones have been left so long and all their gear looks brand new.

    Quite scary that the rain reveals just how many folks up the coro have diesel utes the piss fuel everywhere.

    I went riding on sat, did 220km saw no bikes at all.

    First semi decent wet ride on the TL handles good but had to be light on the throttle.

    Good times, people in the BOP are soft. HTFU

    @ OP. You're confusing me with someone who cares.

    At the moment, down here in Canterbury, I wonder what this "rain" that you speak of is.
    The diesel does leave a nice, shiny iridescence, though...ooohhh, shiny!

    reminds me of this time I stopped off at the vege store to do some shopping, on the bike, in the pouring rain. It was absolutely bucketing down. This dude in the carpark next to me jumps out and says as he passes me.... "it sux being you today doesn't it" lol..... before he had time to feel good about himself I said
    (admittedly, without really thinking)

    "it would suck to be you, every day"....... lol

    Coming from a country where we only have a 4-5 months riding season (Canada), rain isn't going to stop me. There will always be fair weather riders as long as motorcycles are viewed as luxuries and not a primary mode of transportation.
