    I've been out on the mtb this arvo and stopped in at the Sign of the Kiwi. HEAPS of motorbikes out in the ten minutes I spent. But thats not all: heap[s of everyone else too. Pushbikes, walkers, people out driving blah. Yeah that lockdown thing is obviously over.

    No but that's pretty usual for around here. Town population of 2000 and there's only a handful of regular road riders. Lots of others that like the idea of having a bike in the shed though.

    I just discovered our Napier beachfront cycle way has a trendy daily electronic traffic count light post. Last Saturday while out for exercise it said 316, Sunday it was 500 and something.
    Some will be double counts as the fatties will do short return journeys instead of big loops.

    Your motorbike is only ‘recreational’ if no other purpose. So fine to ride to work/supermarket/doctor/place of exercise beach walk etc

    So what is the general consensus? I am itching to get out for a blast (within my region). Have the boys in blue being pulling bikes over/giving out fines?

    Took wifey's Boulevard to the Shop, so that was first ride in over 6 weeks.
    Boys at Botany Honda did a great job of wiring in some auxiliary lights and giving her a yearly WOF, meantime, I got home and jumped on the AT and went to work, in Westgate, motorway all the way, but what a way to go, bugger all traffic and no closed doors or stupid thats my space, drivers.
    Roll on next week, when we can go Norf, Sauf or any other bloody direction we want. Though it might be the wrong time to travel, EVERYBODY else will be doing the same.

    Same here, arterial routes like Dominion Rd and West Coast Road in Auckland are back up to pre COVID off peak levels already for my trips out west every day or so.

    Well that was a nice wee squirt:)

    Well that was a nice wee squirt

    Akaroa North Head Lighthouse via Pigeon Bay and Okains Bay Road.

    The fresh grading on Lighthouse Road was ok. But the heavy loose gravel down the ridge to the lighthouse proper was a 'good' workout.

    So where did you guys go today?

    Short ride to Kawakawa Bay. Lots of people there, but I didn't see many motorbikes.

    Half of the main street of Clevedon has been dug up and it is down to one lane. The automatic traffic lights don't work very well if you're coming back from Kawakawa Bay as the traffic from Maraetai has right of way at the roundabout.

    Very nice wheelie along Crawford Street in Dunedin this afternoon from some dude on an old Honda.

    Hope the sirens a few minutes later weren't for you.

    even when you are doing a civic duty you can get 🥵

    assuming s/he wasn’t obnoxious or a danger, who cares.

    i know L3 still on.
