It was quite windy this morning in Tauranga, it rained a little in the morning but stopped for a few hours around 10pm. At 11:30am I decided to take the bike to work (40Km ride one way) because I didn't think it would be too bad in the evening. It pissed down the second I got to work and didn't stop till I got in the door at 6pm tonight. But damn, I still enjoyed myself.

Oh arrr. I rode home about 4:30 this afternoon, the FXR was shunting sideways in a most interesting fashion across the NW motorway causeway.
Mind ewe I did break my personal record today for 'maximum speed at point of passing the first 80kph sign entering the motorway from Nelson St after a red light'.
(a whole license-shredding 125kph of raw, unadulterated 150cc action, if you *must* know.)

Jeez, a bit of rain and wind and you guys are all suffering? It was only 115km/hr winds FFS. Nothing a bit of countersteering doesn't fix - you woosies.
At least its not bloody cold up there.
just kidding.
its all good anyway - helps with developing those riding skills.
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.

Yup, every winter we pansy foo-foo jafas just sit around drinking our au faits and complaining about a trifling bit of good old Kiwi liquid sunshine.

Average trowel is average!
Wind didn't bother me too much, it was the rain that got to me. Managed to sign out of school early and get away before the worst of it thankfully. Good old study periods.
I'd rather be thinking
Much lighter traffic on the motorway from the city at 5 pm today - CBD to Onehunga in 15 minutes, can't complain about that! The slight touch of dampness in the air and the refreshing breeze made for a particularly pleasant ride after the excessive dry conditions and unseasonally high temperatures we had been suffering from recently. How you Wellingtonians must envy us!

Geez, i thought they said it was windy, thats a mere zephyr.
Maybe you could invest in a sail, for extra power, like a kite surfer.
FINE. This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

The wost I have ever encountered on the NM causeway would be the day The Rock reported them to be gusting between 145kmph South, and 95kmph north.... and yes the Liquid sunshine was well and truely horizontal that day!
Imagine if you will the scene from The Matrix Reloaded (
) with the 996 doing peg to peg lane changes. Now imagine a 15 year old hippo for the bike, and a rider somewhat less svelte than Carrie-Anne Moss.....
Praise be to whoever is your god for the fact that I managed to not hit anything especially not the median barriers that always seemed to be attracting the bikes. And praise be that most cage drivers were too chicken to drive in that s@#$.
Afterwards I did have to wonder if maybe I needed therapy.

Without steering inputs mind!

Muhahahaha, the joys of being in a cage!
Or not, when I am going to get stuck in traffic
Ugg stuff cars, Sick of them with fogged up windows in the early morn having to wait 10 mins for it to clear, and a hopeless windscreen and wipers in the rain (Does worse than bloddy good).
