My keys and helmet were in my locker in the gym and once we were evacuated I wasn't allowed back in to get them and getting to my daughter was a lot more important than getting to my bike so i left it where it is. It's called priorities.

Hell dude, I hope she was OK? I just cant imagine what that would feel like...

Scrww teh bike. Get out of Dodge City ASAP...

To the OP: Simple- Get a Multistrada.

IF there IS a MAJOR eruption in Auckland, the chances are that you will not be able to leave anywhere, because you will be encased in a bed of hot ash about 800degrees hot, or lying under a pool of lava.

Thats right, because in all major eruptions in modern age there was no sign of warning before it happened and lava flows at speed of light so there is no escaping it....
No realy chances are that there will be little bit of smoke coming out of waihake for like 3 weeks and then some ash and bit of lava will splash into the sea...but whatever no point arguing about this until it realy happens, and lets hope it doesnt because otherwise who would pay for rebuilding of chch and auckland then????
