on the up
Not me Deano.Originally Posted by Deano
Mine parks behind Clemengers in Majoribanks Street, and I can see it from out of the window.
And crikey, wasn't that wind this morning great. Just like doing 245 out in the Wairarapa, except without the fear of cops with lasers...
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.

Thats good to hear. Its not nice watching your bike being blown over!
How much do RF's weigh? Must be pretty strong gusts to do that?!

Well, nearly, it was an awsome save by the rider, who ever you are!
Looks like it is a tad windy and I have a headache brewing.
Going home :-)

Not as much as you'd think. 208kgs dry. Perhaps 235kg fully loaded.
Still not light, but hardly a BMW or Harley-Davidson.

You under any cover there riffer? I work at the end of Courtenay Place and can't think where there's a covered spot nearby. My flatmate parks under Te Papa but it's a bit far for me, especially in this sort of weather.

Depends on what you call cover mate.
There's some room here - you could probably sneak in behind me and they'd never notice.

Not much different to my current park out back of our shop, will stay where I am for now. These winds are definitely making me nervous though, been checking the bike every hour or so.
Little ol'Hornet Rides again!
I left Wellywood to ride back up to Dorkland about 7am today - the wind was howling something fierce then! Max respect to all you Welly riders who have to contend with that on a recurring basis - must make for some interesting wear patterns on the tyres!
Plenty of bikers going into the capital - I must have been the only one heading out!

Hmmm ... lets see ... ride to work on a shitty day, risk getting the bike blown over, have to carry wet weather gear and store it somewhere at work ... etc or get the missus to drop me off and pick me up after she's cooked my dinner... Tough choice!
