Of burning meeting houses and Jaaaaaaags

[Ronin]

So Foxzee and Ronin decided to go for a pootle today and a pootle it was. For months we have lived in the middle of biking paradise and have yet to manage to jump on the bike for an explore. So, today with a bit of cloud cover and a cooler day we did. Toodled down the road, as we turned off onto what we knew was a dead end road we could see flashing lights and all manner of excitement closer to town. So anyway, off we pootle, taking in the sights. Found what looks like to be a good swimming hole. Most excellent.

So out of the dead end road and towards the aforementioned exciting parts. Big scrub fire near the local marea. Cops, fire fighters, helicopter with a monsoon bucket, the works. Locals on both sides of the road with smoke etc so our pootle speed had come close to 20 k's or so. I heard an engine being floored, looked in the mirror in time to see a large Jaaaaaaaaaaaaag gunning it out from behind us without indicating. Those of you who know Foxzee will have a good idea of the finger gesture used to indicate her displeasure. As luck would have it the Jaaaaaaag in question then stopped at the next intersection. Now I will admit, the idea of just knocking her wing mirror off ran through my mind but I didn't. Instead I knocked on her passenger window and politely told her about the emergency services. "I've already been up there you fucking wanker" as the Jaaaaag speed off.

SO, to the lady in the bronze Jaaaaaaag

Fuck you.

ANd the Jaaaaag you rose in on.

I'm very pleased to note that you got out to ride together, well done. As to nags in jags.....they are not limited to jags.

Happy New Year and all that for the both of you.

Balu and I have covered a few hundred kilometres in the last few days (mostly in the car, mind, although had a great pootle on the bikes down Rangiriri way this morning) and saw some epically stupid behaviour on the roads. Every incident involved car drivers ranging from shit mobiles through to "mr. big fat get-outta-my-way-I'm-king-of-the-road" flash SUVs. For all the bikes we saw on the return trip to Wangavegas and our pootling today we didn't see any dumbass riding. Plenty of dickwads in cars though.

The patrol cars and piccy takers along SH1 were doing a roaring trade, but there were still plenty of dickheads in the residential streets too. Must be the silly season...
