My visit to Wellington

[Slingshot]

I work in the building behind Plimmer Towers...you may well have seen my bike park on the footpath at the top of the plimmer steps.

Riffer, wasn't Fatjim was it? Big fella with a blue leather jacket?

You don't slow down for cops? Jeez, that's risky. I always slow to at least +50 before passing them... don't want them to think I'm doing anything dodgy.

Hey mate..yeah thats a great parking spot, you usually park in front of mine!
I work in the building behind to the right, so I can keep an eye on my bike from the window.

Bloody small world.

So far I've only had one ticket...that was a few months back though. I've just started parking there again as we got kicked out of the basement in my building.
I'll say hello next time I see you.

It sure is! Shit, i hope they dont start dishing out tickets for parking there. I suppose so long as too many bikes dont start parking up there and getting in the way of pedestrians we shouldn't have a problem.

Nah, I don't remember any bike in particular other than the grotty old black sidecar parked opposite Motorad. I hope you guys continue to be allowed to park on the footpath, as you weren't causing a problem.

nah - those parking nazis don't bring fairness into their decision to ticket you - just wait, they will find you and you will become a nice income stream, the bastards

A good thing Wellytown has a decent public transport system!

Where...Where... Please tell me. I've been trying to find good public transport in Welly for years...

I was at the Copthorne Hotel - Plimmer Towers for the day , BTW - I enjoyed the beers at The Malthouse

Parked the cage in Plimmer Towers for years until I got the bike which I can now park in the basement of RNZ House on the terrace.


Shit, I was in the Malthouse at lunchtime yesterday. Probably there at the same time.

Nope, I was there from about 3.30 till 5.30, then off to the airport for some more before the flight home.

Yeah, well he was a bit bigger than me, which I guess would make him big.

His bike sounded good. He pulled off at the entrance to the wharves. Does he work there? Anyway the cars were definitely moving aside for him, which was nice. My polite little suzuki with its standard pipe doesn't do a lot for notifying traffic I'm coming.

As for the other bit, I may have to watch it a bit after just about clipping a bike cop this evening. He decided to split just as I was coming up next to him... silly bugger was a bit wary of his panniers and had his feet down just in case he clipped a car and toppled the bike ... bad splitting technique. I can only hope I gave him the learn.

In all other respects I'm quite law-abiding I promise...

You don't know how long my lunches can last sometimes.
