    Wellington riders are hard!

    I was in Wellington today (nice and dry in the car!) and I was amazed at the number of riders I saw battling the elements. Good on you all for not bowing down to the weather gods! I saw a cruiser with the number plate CRWZA (I think), as well as heaps of sports bikes and scooters - I didn't envy you your ride home though, not if it was anything like my drive home - down to 80kph and heaps of surface flooding.

    I hope all of you made it home safely and your wet weather gear didn't leak!
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    Mine didn't leak. But that's because I didn't think I'd need to wear it.

    Rain has never stopped me from riding somewhere I needed to be.

    The real mystery is how come that fat bastard Hurley has never lost any weight.

    I could do it. Be dangerous as hell so I wouldn't actually do it but it is possible.

    I've done it before, Actually use to do it quite regularly. Ok it was in a country where the limit on how many people could fit on a bike was based on the size of the people that needed to fit on it.
    Life is difficult because it is non-linear.

    PA!!! Come down to CHCH why you will often see Biff riding around Naked eating an icecream while flipping off all the cops.

    Then tell me Wellington is harder than CHCH. (I'll let WT and Biff fight this one out)
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    A little rain never hurt anyone.
    Only problem is...
    I still got my race tyres on the bike, so not much grip while leaning in the rain.
    Oh well, Will deal with it.
