Maverick's weather genie sez all will be well - aint that the truth Mav?

Mav is crashing here on the couch tonight so any update from him will come from me tonight.

Will post early tomorrow once we've held a small conference on the driveway.

Perhaps I should come along and notify the Police of my doing so earlier in the morning. If I fail to stop they'll bring the Helicopter in and if I follow the same route as you guys the downward force produced by the Choppers rotors should be suffecient enough to dry out the roads.

Just a thought.

Looks shity here in Manukau any Verdict guys?

**McJim** · 10th September 2006, 07:52

Me and Mav will still be at Botany BP 9:30am in the hope it clears a bit - if we judge it's still too pissh-poor to ride we'll resort to Plan B....which involves food and conversation.

Not gonna PM my address to anyone coz I don't want people turning up just to come to my house. The invitation is strictly as an alternative to the ride in inclement weather coz it would be a pain in the arse for some poor sod to come across the bridge in shit weather only to turn round and go back again.

So meet at Botany BP 9:30 and we'll decide then.

Cheers,

With the weather like it is and the pressence of Mr Plod, i'm going to give this ride a miss.

I'll be in for the next one tho.

**WarlockNZ** · 10th September 2006, 08:37

Good luck on the ride guys ... take it easy out there and I hope Mr Plod decides to stay away.

**Searchin'** · 10th September 2006, 09:05

Hunua weather report: 8.57am

Squally showers with intermittant patches of sunlight; strong wind gusts delivering the odd patch of drizzle;

Cold.

Still; better than yesterday!

Well frankly, invite him along I say. If they came on their bikes, we might get some insight and schooling because as much as the 70km/hr rule may suck on the motorway; we are learner riders after all and this is the n00b ride after all; and 70km/hr IS in fact the law (still) after all. So I won't be going above 70km/hr and a biker cop who wanted to share some of the wisdoms of his profession would be - hesitantly - welcome.
