URGENT WARNING

[N4CR]

Was going down the mway from Papakura into Mt Wellington in my mates cage. We abandoned trying to get across the bridge after the cage started aquaplaning and getting blown half across the lane the whole way along the motorway :/

It was pretty fricken bad. No wonder that dude binned the plane turning or something.

To those foolhardy fucktards that wish to cross the harbour bridge:

May I recommend that you refrain from doing so.

The winds are bloody wellingtonian - must be cos of that dirty white bastard who's joined us.

Small sportsbikes will get blown into the other lane if they don't resort to weird contorting movements like a downhill skier to keep it rubber side down.

guys

Just another day at the Rimataka office mate. There's a reason us Welly riders wear the sides of our tyres first. It's cos we're always riding on an angle to track against the wind.

Yup I figured that out too.. it's the only way to manage to keep filtering and it's a bloody fun thing to do too.

And by the way - Speedmedic is a foolhardy fucktard who has just admitted he's a viagra junkie too.

Thanks for offering me a place in the ambo mate. I'll drive and you lie in the back, pop some viagra and look carefully with your glasses to see if it's working

I was over there today----bit blustery but..seemed OK to me....
Dunno what yer on about.....

[sAsLEX]

You think thats bad then try driving a 2.5 ton ambulance over there at 130 ks with all the windage of a small building and pissing rain..... then come and call me a foolhardy fucktard. Might find yourself along for the ride.

pfft easy try driving a 800 kg jeep, dont got any weight to hold the tires down so just slide all over the place, plus it has crazy windage being designed similar to a brick

Sounds like a friggen suzuki escudo :|

NO weight in the rear and a tiny 1.6 engine up front... high cog and gets blown around like a sailboat.

nope mighty samurai and it aint got a 1600 only 1300 cc of pure power, well actually less than me 400 i think. Great off road had aa heap of fun up at the bombing rang today, mind you the SCU were back at Murawai again today! not good

[RiderInBlack]

That's alright Speed Medic. Don't let a little wind over the bridge faze you, JSG. The GC has run in weather like yesterday.

PS: JSG, you might find that a few of us have difficulty taking biking advise from you as we seen your riding.

Yep another high speed roll over in a 4wd.. these guys are fstupid. The guys ok though, heard westpac on the air at work telling the hospital what was wrong with the guy, Sweet FA really.. but he got throwen 50 feet...whatever that is in metres.

must be either going way too fast or just dumb, one of the guys I was with drifts his suzi up and down the beach at 80 no problems, cept his fuel cap wasnt quite up to standard and when he hung the right out fuel would leak out!

[Pancakes]

Yo, WINJATRON. The clearance is some formula like the average of the 3 highest tides in the last 100 years or some crap. We go brideswinging off there sometimes (right over that main span) and get 24 metre swings without touching the water.

[Lou Girardin]

What wind? Now't but a gentle zephyr.
Harden up.

LOL, fuck yea bro, was following a guy on a XJ up the hutt side, was bout 20 metres behind him and the wind picked him up and blew into the barrier, only doing 60odd kph bike was sort alright (rideable) and he was fine.
Dont know what all these akld folk are complaining about really, they dont know wind. And no one know wind like WT, being bikes or the girl.

[Mattyc]

saw a break in the weather an hour ago and went for a ride out thru gt south road ramarama, and then back thru runciman road, was good on the way, weather turned to crap on the way back, on top of a ridge dropping into a corner it got a bit hairy when the wind decided to push me over a bit further... ass puckered for a 1/4 of a second, got home with seconds to spare - Hail, i pity anyone who HAS to ride today..

Was gale force on the northern last night from about 9 -10pm.............was blowing me right over into left hand lane i'd hate to see how a 250 would handle it (my bikes fucken heavy) ended up pulling off 1 off ramp to early....bit of a scary ride just for a bootie call

Ratty's a 250, wind was blowing him about a bit yesterday and today.

Seen worse though. You just have to realise it's gonna happen and keep loose and relaxed, let the bike wander around in it's own lane. Almost quite enjoy it m'self, bit of a challenge.
