    guts about the bike man. Harbour bridge is a piece of piss, only problem i had was lanesplitting the norwestern in the morning, had the wind hard perpindicular to the motorway so would get sheltered by some large vehicles and then blasted as you pass them. Made it well interesting coming up to some of the tighter gaps. But its something you get used to, luckily i park in an undercover car park, but havent had any problems with the bike outside in the driveway.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    How about the petrol tax being increased to help pay for spagetti junction?

    On another note, took the CBR out today for the first time in several months because of the injury. Riding into the head wind was a buzz at 120, felt more like 200, without the severe misbehaving to goes with that sort of thing...

    Can't agree enough, Petrol tax to pay for roads = city dwellers subsidising the rest. Period.

    Awesome init??

    Even on rides, where you have been exposed on a ridge or something. Everyone is asking about how people coped with it. Meanwhile I'm asking "what wind"??
