    Lost glasses Lens, $35 Reward, North Shore onramp

    The ahh on-ramp at the north end of albany I forget what its called, its the last set of ramps before silverdale. well I was cruising up there last night with the visor open, within about 200m after being able to change lanes I did and when I shoulder checked I lost vision in my left eye, turns out one of the lenses in my glasses fell out.

    I had a quick look but it was dark so couldnt find it. I'ts strengthend glass so should withstand being run over ok.

    anyway if you find it I will give you $35 cash or a $50 whitcolls voucher on pickup or delivery.

    If this is glasses not sun glasses i'd expect it to be fucked, mine cost around $50 a lense but i get the cheap plastic shit.

    Another reason why i wear contact lenses when i ride.

    I agree wholeheartly. unfortuantly my mate, she put too much clorine in the spa so I had to take them out after a while (and put them back in on the side of the motorway with very clorinated fingiees

    and yeah glasses not sun glasses, mine cost about $350 (exl frame) I think and I cant afford to replace them (hence reward)

    for $35 maybe, you know those shore kids. do crazy things.

    well too late anyway. I went over and stopped about 2m from where the offramp touches the motorway. found it in 5 minutes (about a metre infront of my bike)

    woulda been easy money.

    thanks anyway guys!
