    Lightbulb SH2 diesel spill north of Melling (10 January)

    Riffer just called to say it's rainbow city up that way due to a large diesel spill in the Nothbound lanes of SH2.

    Take extra care if you are heading to the Duckpond for a damp ride this evening.

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Yeah, I wouldn't want to be on a Ginny today with those OEM tyres...
    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.

    That spill was a shocker! The rider in front of me was sitting in it all the way. Couldn't believe it. Open your eyes man!

    This is all too common on NZ roads. I've watched a mate go down on that stuff, had a few frights myself and heard there was guy killed (waikato) probably because of this. How is this happening..?

    It is because of ignorant truck/bus drivers over filling their vehicles & dont give a f$#k about the rest of the road users
