Welcome to Windy Wellington. Are you skilled at riding in 140kph gusts.
Actually that's not fair on Wellytown. I got back 1am Tuesday morning after 4 days solid riding down to Colac Bay (Riverton) and back. The wind through to Manapouri and then from Alex to Palmerston was ...holy shit, put Wellington winds to shame.
OAB said it well about education and phones. I believe the biggest danger on today's roads is phones and crossing centrelines/cutting corners.
Too many riders, many experienced who should know better by now, cut corners everywhere. As I always say, you might get away with that if a 1960 Morri Thou is approaching around the blind bend at 42kph. BUT it's more likely a lad pushing his new hot Audi hard or a rider on a sports bike going xxx+ kph will wipe you out.
I may stretch the 9kph tolerance at times but I never cut corners no matter how much visibility there is.
Happiness is a means of travel, not a destination
