    Kapiti coast question

    My daughter, her boy friend and myself are coming to Wellywood tomorrow. My question is How is the traffic on the coast at 7.30pm?
    We will need to get home in good time as we all have work on Friday. The work we are down for will be finished around 7. Last time we went up the coast it was 4.30 and soooooooo oooooooooooo slow. Even lane splitting, it was slow. So how is it at 7.30 in the arvo?
    Also do you know if the Indian bike is at Te Papa?I want to go and have a perve at the Britten and I was told the Indian could be in da house as well.
    Thanks for the info ppl.
    I will look on the Te Papa web thingy. But if you know it would be good.
    Thanks all and hope you all enjoy your day tomorrow at work. I will think of you all in your places of work as we ride Not..

    The Indian bike is at Te Papa, and barring accidents the Centennial Highway will be relatively clear at 7:30 pm
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    No. I have done 5 trips down in the last year and it has proved to be 20 minutes faster going the other way. As long as the coast road is clear.I use to think your side was the best but the clock has proved other wise. I find I spend to much time at 50 and 70 in the small towns. I am sure if you know the way around them it would faster. We turn off just through the gorge and it is plain sailing to the big smoke. I like the hill at the end of your road but this trip is to get a job done and get home. I wish I had your new bike for this run. I could put 700 kms on it for you in a day.
