Auckland's all right you know.

Nah - serious - no news ever any more - I wouldn't bother with a thread called shotguns either. just not interested.

Summary: one of your fine citizens went mad in downtown Aukers and killed an innocent bystander before being gunned down by the police, madman still alive, other members of public suffered knife-wounds but live.

[Big Dave]

are all those roads out to your intro pic shoot sealed? if so might go see it one weekend.. ermm maybe not... (grave) after looking at the photos... oh well... wait till I get a KTM or Buell... :P

Only a hundred mtrs gravel at the end of the seal. (and it's not worth riding up - just goes to farm gates.)
Nearly all of it is tar and fabulous. WELL worth a look.
Co-pilot prefers the riding out that way over the Coromandel loop even.

Thanks - but I had a nice day anyway.

I understood that the cops up that way can't shoot for shit. Hence why the bastard is still alive. If he was dead he wouldn't reoffend, and we wouldn't be paying his lodgings and god knows what else for the next twenty years.

Didn't realise there was a thread around here about guns. I like guns, well rifle stuff mainly

For sure!
You can't do it because of your gig, but I have almost successfully filtered out all News (except sports), DJ's, advertisements (except 1 every hour on J2), commentators, and infotainment from my life.
I'm now all digital - all programmed, all day and all Dave, baby!.

I only selectively read KB and pick the good and positive bits in here too.

And You wouldn't believe what a happy carnt i am.
I'd advise everyone to do the same.

Damn straight mate ! learn to fucken aim coppers (least if i did eventually go mad, i have some chance. For one, they wasted 3 9mm glock bullets - prolly like 1.50$ each,one shot , one kill the cops should invest in laser pointers for their glocks, then it takes the skill factor out of aiming (the problem), and you just have to be able to take a deep breath, point and shoot.

Half the trouble is they prolly dont use the guns enough to be fully comfortable with them.

Gah, i try to go shooting at least once every couple of months, even if its only possums and rabbits, or claybirds.

At first i thought they should have kneecapped him, but you are right Stevo, now we hav to pay for this fucker to live, after he took the life of an innocent bystander....where is the justice. - this country is fucked in this department

hard case how the situation was defused by a PARKING WARDEN !! which proves they are good for something

I did a thread here some time ago where I went from North Manukau Head at Whatipu to South Manukau Head at Awhitu in one ride,taking pics of both sides...I think I called it Head to Head,but can't find it anywhere in several searches...I'll keep looking.

I've been going out to Whatipu for many years,the seal used to stop at the Huia bridge and the ford was much deeper,but otherwise the road is little changed - always scary around the cliff face where it's so narrow and drops away so steeply.You can go up the mountain and get a really good view,there used to be an old abandoned house up there.

Here are the photos of the trip,sorry about the quality,dunno why they turned out so dark.The road up the mountain where I took a photo of South Head you can just see as a faint line on the shot looking north.

[Big Dave]

you guys should take the gun discussion to the 'shotgun' thread. it's all peace love and brown rice in here.

Bull. People survived quite nicely for a long time without needing to know what is happening at this very minute in Iraq, Afganistan or Adelaide.

We are bombarded with so much data that has been selected for it's emotive content that real balance comes from turning most of the shit off.

I'd rather spend my energy creating and being positive than absorbing foxaganda.
