Just got to work on the motorway this morning.
The southerly is really strong from Petone through to Ngauranga and it's REAL cold.
Wrap up warm today folks!!!

And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Yeah, I think it's currently hailing. It's BLOODY cold.
I hope you had your handlebar warmers on Celtic.
I hope to God it's not like this Good Friday, or I might have to resort to taking the car to Turangi.

Immature and proud of it.
Thanks for the warning. I'm heading down there at Easter, better take the cage.

I'd rather be thinking
Not exactly tropical in Auckland either. But at least the rain stopped and the sun came out for my ride to work this morning.
I must admit I wasn't expecting winter to arrive quite so early.

Lou! Will we be seeing you on Monday?
The more Aucklanders the better, we'll show you guys how awesome the riding is down here.

Celtic, you are either extraordinarily tough, stupid or somewhere on the continuum between these two! It is fu fu fu fu fureezing out there! I have the Zrex booked in tomorrow for new rubber, so I hope it is warmer and drier by then...

Actually Hitcher, it wasn't TOO bad. I grew up in Stokes Valley, and live in Upper Hutt, so I'm used to the cold.
I have some Thinsulated leather gloves, a Spool jacket with warm linings, Dririder pants with warm linings, wooly socks, strong boots and a nice warm fleecy neck thingie I picked up at the Kathmandhu sale a few weeks back.
Plus, unlike you, I have a HUGE fairing to hide behind too.
And also, not having a choice on transport tends to sway one towards the bike too.
Anyway, my office has 24/7/365 climate control - always 22 degrees, 40% humidity. Just lovely for drying out my gear... It's always nice weather in my office at the Library!
Oh btw, next time you see your bro, can you tell him the glasses are working out fine. Cheers

It was cold in the Waikato too! Ever since that Southerly change yesterday afternoon.
But I woke up to blue skies with only the smudge of some rising fog this morning, and it's cleared up beautifully.
What are the chances it'll be like this for my ride to Napier tomorrow afternoon though???

No it surely is not. Riding in this morning first thought was 'hmmm, wish I had my jacket lining in'.
About halfway down the motorway I thought 'hmmm, might be time for one of those gee-it's-getting-cold KB posts' but celticno6 beat me to it by a long shot.
Balaclava going in the washing machine tonight, methinks.
Oh well. Get ready for six months of "look at me, I'm a Hard Man for riding today" threads, everyone

Is he the bloke with the DR650 who keep nicking my park?
