    I got a bike 6 months ago and im still not brave enough to ride it over the bridge ;(
    The bridge isn't that bad


    The first time I went across I was pretty nervous for a whole lot of reasons...getting squished, blown over by the wind, choosing the wrong lane but in hindsight I had nothing to worry about

    It is pretty simple really, once you've done it you will realise it isn't that hard or scary! It sounds like you've had some people offer to take you across, I think that's a great idea. Especially with a loud Harley at the back...

    I didnt realise how many budding riders there are on the shore.

    Nice to see plenty of women getting in the saddle too

    I'm just in the process of learning, but so far I LOVE IT! So defo hit me up in a month or two.

    Only thing, I only have a GN125 atm for learning on, not sure I could keep up with a Harley. I think I'd be a bit putt putt next to you.

    I'm in Takapuna too btw

    Heya!

    I'm defo keeno to go for a ride Where are you? I'm in Takapuna. I work in town at a boring desk job so can't do Mon-Fri but can do weekends!
    My bikes being a bit odd so I need to give her a look over this weekend, but I could be keen for a shortish ride this weekend (weather dependant)

    How long have you been riding for?

    I am going to beg to differ on the bridge. Per km it is as dangerous as any piece of road I know.
    Actually, I don't use it much now, but reckon I have crossed it on 2 wheels about 2000 times.
    Pleased to say that so far I have always made it.

    Usually it is just fine, but here are some things that have happened to me on the Ak Harbour Bridge:
    * struck on the ankle by a piece of 4x2 off a builder's ute - hobbled for 2 days afterwards
    * hit by a tennis ball sized rock squeezed out like an orange pip from a truck tyre (bruise on leg)
    * overtaken by a motorcyclist southbound at peak hour doing over 100mph (estimated)
    * overtaken on scooter at speed & then nearly pushed into side as car returned to my lane out of space
    * truck & trailer attempt to overtake my scooter at 100 kph (truck was not actually fast enough)
    * Was desperate & crossed (motorcycle) in a cylone (160kph gusts) (Yes I was crazy - not allowed now)

    That is just what I can remember off the cuff. Please be very careful out there! Far worse than this happens.

    Lets not scare smh off the bridge mmmk?
    I do it twice a day everyday, I've been sweet everyday. You've just gotta be observant and remember the wind factor.
    Don't forget, a lot of that could happen on a normal bit of road too. Keep your eyes peeled, don't ride like a retard, don't lane split and you'll be sweet.
