    KawaKawa Bay skidmark

    So who was it that did the big lockup on the first tight right descending the hill into K-K-Bay from the Clevedon side? looks like a good one, hope they're ok & didn't end up down the gully in the bushes...
    ..it's another red light nightmare..

    does it look fresh Dave?

    if not a fresh skiddy, and about 140mm section tyre, I *might* know
    Regardless, on that decreasing radius righty, I'd wager that a skidmark was not just laid on the road....

    looked fairly fresh but i didn't get down & smell it or anything ;-)
    whoever it was made it at least into the gravel but after that well theyd have been lucky not to go over... may have been there a little while a week or 2 max. they musta been hauling ass... & not known the road too well.

    what kinda half pie job is that, not even inspecting rubber laid down properly? You'll never make the KBCSI squad at this rate...

    Don't think so on your first guess, right on the second.

    Anyways, isn't it stink surf east side bro...

    i'm guessing it wasn't you then as you'd know that road pretty well by now.
    whoever it was musta soiled their trousers... 8-(
    Yeah east side surf only gets going in the tropical cyclones that come down from Fiji in the late summer, then it gets into Orere & can actually get almost right down to Kaiaua which I saw last year. Shame, at the time I was on my bike. oh the irony huh.
