I reckon it is finally sinking in

[Padmei]

Well on me I guess.
Speeding or lack of it.
I managed to stay at or around 100-105kphs all the way from Nelson to Hanmer return (in the brethy bus). I inadvently crept up to 115 a couple of times due to a bit of inattention but quickly buttoned off. As I received a ticket & a warning on the last 2 times over the Lewis pass route I was determined to stay legal - and I for the most part suceeded so big claps for the Padmei. I'm hoping I can keep up the good behaviour.

Funny thing is, it ended up being one of the quickest trips I reckon we've done too as there were no roadworks, convoys of trucks, etc. The traffic just flowed very nicely.
What I was impressed about as well was the patience & behaviour of the many many bikers lucky enough to be touring around the South island (barstards) If you were out on your bike you had one of the best weekends weatherwise all year.

[Subike]

Had perfect weather, and had a awesome trip averaged 42 mpg!

And yeah, another 500km clocked up this weekend on the Keeway,

Is it true no one died this weekend ?

Does that make it a slow weekend ?

Someone must have died. I know this because I went over the speed limit along with the others who travelled with me.

sad to say but they all drowned this weekend

[GingerMidget]

Someone did die, but it was a medical event which caused the crash apparantly. This will be the first time in my living memory that nobody died as a result of a crash over easter.

[Berries]

Perhaps we should crucify someone?

my living memory .

Easter and everyone becomes born again!

You were being inattentive on the open road and got a speeding ticket. How fascinating.

[avgas]

May be we are running out of motorists to kill?

Lets all pray to the water gods before they take another.

[Swoop]

I ignored the "4kmh tolerance" bullshit and sat around 130 all weekend. Saw fook-all cops around (apart from yesterday afternoon).

Ignore the propaganda and just ride to the bleedin' conditions.

[Haggis2]

All the ones that were going to die on the roads drowned instead?
