Wairoa is pretty scary. Almost had the RF chained to the door of the motel. POS that it was i didn't want to walk.

Cannons isn't as bad as it was. Not that I stop there often.

There used to be a big fellah at the challenge in Murapara that was always friendly, liked to chat about bikes. He may still be there. I've had some "fuckoff" looks from some of the other locals though, same in Wairoa on occasion, and I've always been happy to oblige

Didnt stay in Wairoa, the main bakery is different and the food nice, ate it away from the locals down by the river mouth.

It must have been the local welcoming committee I met. One guy asked me if it was a Harley, another one went off his nut the closer to the bike he got, autistic type of breakdown (and yes I know what they look like) I got out of there ASAP. At least the toilets worked. Maybe it was the drug drop off/pickup day.

There certainly could have been some speed there.

Just had to google maps the place, I see they have a street called "Lucknow St"

I wonder what happens when you get to the end of the street, have you ran out of lucknow?

Fucken wouses ... shit yourselves because there are people around who are not like you ..

There'd be more thieves in Dorkland than in Wairoa ..

Yes, I'm a lot more friendly, as are most people on the east cape. But Wairoa no one says hi and they look like they are sizing you up.

I think you're thinking of Paparimu Rd? Two straights with a kink. Probably been the odd one caught, but there are a few driveways and houses along the stretch.

Sometimes there is a difference between a cop catching you at a speed and what is written on the ticket. Knowing someone who was radar'd close to 300, the cop was a little shocked and since the licence was going one way or another, it was written <140. Don't think court or police really want the high speeds out there as it looks bad for the policing of the limit (I mean, 200kph is fast and the average person thinks baby seals are being clubbed, but 300kph and now the limit is being mocked as a mere irrelevant number)

I looked up Skyhigh on te map and lolled when I saw it's the back of Monument Road. Land Speed Record attempts on Monument Road (the Clevedon one) should be compulsory.

No not shit ourselves.
In the multicultural community in Sth Akl I grew up in, everyone gave each other respect.

I am unlike anyone else

They ran out of places in Wairoa, so some of them made it to akl.
Definitely more crims in Akl, there a lot of them - accountants, lawyers etc for a start.

Have you been to the Dentist lately?

I am all for capital punishment - its only making sure you get the right person.
