the polite term for the weather out there is, shite!

I was in Torbay earlier... the rain was coming "down" sideways...was not fun being on the Zeal... I would not recommend riding, especially over the bridge, the wind is a bugger too.
Stay safe out there guys :spudwow:

Bad toys, bad toys!!!
That winds really gusting at times, up to 120k according to the radio reports. There have been trees blown down and a big sign has come down across the Constellation on-ramp. Take it real easy out there folks.
I hope this not the look of summer!!
Small and dangerous with a sting in my tail!!
Look Ma, no hands hehehe
Well I am going to brave the elements..... over the bridge...
But not on the bike.... (hey I aint that stupid) but in my car....
Even my car may get buffered around a bit on the bridge...
*will look out for a bigger vehicle then mine to wind buffer it for me*

Our neighbour had a kauri tree blow down in their backyard this morning. It crushed our fence. It looks like the trunk was part rotten or something. There is another identical kauri (although hopefully with a healthy trunk) left standing.That winds really gusting at times, up to 120k according to the radio reports.

i actually saw someone on a bike today.
that was a shining blue cruiser stops on the side of the motorway just before the birkenhead exit
Fair weather rider
I'm by no means a fair weather rider but I don't do gales (ala the weather in Auckland today). Crappy little bike is too light and it's just not enjoyable being blown across the road.
Interestingly, the weather warning on the TVNZ site says "Winds of this strength have the potential to cause damage to trees, powerlines, lift roofs and to make driving hazardous, especially for tall sided vehicles." Tall sided vehicles? What about us?
Forum whore
Tall sided relative to the vehicle width maybe?
Then bikes would be included in the "tall sided" description.
I asked dad about the fence, he said it's actually the neighbour's.
Immature and proud of it.
The bridge was fun at 2.30PM, but the cages were blowing around more than I was. The worst part was that Prime was off the air, I missed the motorsport. Bugger!
Speed doesn't kill people.
Stupidity kills people.

Don't let the the local tribe see the tree or they'll claim it. Should still be some good timber in the old tree. Hunt down a furniture maker and sell it to him, as he'll get it milled. Pissing down here, but still gotta ride to work later.
