    This means oppossums propogate much more frequently, which means there is more of them chomping through our native bush. This means they cross the road more frequently to get to new patches of bush. This means that they killed more frequently, which means that if we try and get our knee down, we hook so many oppossums on our knee sliders that we overload the knee down side of the bike and get more than just the knee down. Plus it doesn't smell to good and we get blood and guts on our leathers, which means blow flies follow us home and breed more cos of the warmer weather and ....


    But, wait!! There's more. In the warmer weather, the tar melts more and this means our sliders get stuck in icky sticky and we get pulled off our bikes and that hurts too much.

    But wait!! There's more. A free set of Ginsu steak knifes with every succesful knee slide.

    But wait! There's more. Cos more people use the roads up here, they get badly pitted and potholes breed more rampantly and the trucks cause big subsidence patches in the road. Most the time we are lucky enough not to disappear from sight in the larger subsidences, but the potholes seem to occur right in your cornering line and they have a nasty habit of swallowing knee caps, which means we nearly lose our leg or if our leg muscles are really strong, we actually end up backwards on our seats after a succesful knee down corner.

    Only really tough bikers survive in Auckland. Many of them are noticeable when riding cos you can see their gloved hands hanging on for grim death on the edge of those larger subsidences caused by trucks. It's real hard pulling yourself out of those. If you are really lucky and it hasn't rained, you can see a trail of blood leading from a pothole into the shrubbery somewhere, cos some poor bugger didn't get turned around in his seat. You will find a kneeslider in the pothole with a kneecap still attached. This is not a pretty sight and best left until well after meal times.

    i knew this would start, been looking forward to it too!

    the learn was

    the bottom of the taka hill when you tried to snake my line, i thought, yeah right mother fucker, an let you make the decision of whether you wanted to eat oncoming traffic or back off, wasnt backing down to a ginga on a gixer!

    then going up the hill that ive only been up 30 times...... looking back in the mirrors watching the gap i was making grow, even with your loosish overtaking (i cant really speak, im worse)

    even on piecock hill you didnt overtake anyone, infact a kid who has been over that hill as many times as you had was in front of you, RG100 i think, infront of you on the kr150!

    I looked back on Piecock at one stage expecting to see Sensei, and here is this green bumble bee humming along behind me. (Disclaimer - wasn't going full on at the time but this "kid" can ride through the corners.)

    Big ups dude.
    HAHA TAKE THAT

    Tried to get my knee down there once, just ended up with the rear end drifting ...that and i was also wearing cordura...so probably wouldn't have been a god thing to achieve in any case!
    shhhh, I thought that one was only liked by a select few... now more seem to know about it

    And don't be in the left lane, the fast is flat and smooth. Even tightens just a little near the end of the corner... oooh, you can tell I likes it

    For extra thrill points, try cutting between cagers that refuse to move to the slow ass lane once they have overtaken...

    Yeah I was skool'd in the Coromandel ranges ...not so many traffic lights to slow your groove down there.

    I'll keep dreaming 'Poos...me on the back wheel out of the hairpin (while doing the Sudoku puzzle) around your flailing ass...oh yes

    Fark...thinking about the track's getting me all hot n bothered...better go for a ride.

    I just love the Coromandels. Reckon they gotta have some of the best roads in the whole country. Plenty of opportunity on those roads to collect some possums in ya sliders.
