Up Symonds Street, into Welesley street. Watch for suicidal fellow students expecting a bike at full lean to give way. Down past AUT seeing if you can hit the rev limiter before merging into the traffic from motorways.

Fingers crossed for a green light at the left turn onto Mayoral drive - choose right hand lane, corner tightens, attempt to get knee down.

Throw bike onto full right lean to make the hairpin turn into Rutland street, square off corner with throttle if required (note that this is a no right turn, but the sign looks easy to remove, and can't be any worse than riding in the bus lane.)

This is pretty much what I do everyday, apart from the knee down. And I tend to give the no right turn into Rutland a bit more respect than you suggest. I carry on 50m and do a U-turn.

I got a ticket recently for riding in a bus lane. The officer at the time was very angry with me and treated me pretty poorly, refusing to even talk to me about the fact that motorcycles were allowd in bus lanes. Nevermind. I wrote a letter to the Police infringement fullas attaching an article from Auckland City council's website saying it was ok to ride in bus lanes on a motorcycle. They waived the fine.

Some of you clowns need to take a look at how the issue-ing of tickets, work.

Yes the Police have a quota to obtain, but all this so-called revenue gathering comes from parliament, because thats where the police get there budget from. Not from the tickets they generate as this all goes into the government slush fund, to pay for their free taxis and trips overseas, the Police see none of this.

So stop bitching about the police writing tickets so they can get money, you numbnuts.

And if you don't like the police and start calling them all sorts of names because you got a ticket, then why did you get one in the 1st place??? huh.

And police don't have the website inside their patrol cars, to quickly look up the internet to find out bylaws, gee some of you are dumb.

So just chill out you idiots who call the police this and that, and take a look at yourselves.

Welcome back!

I got one because they were unaware of the law they were out to catch people on.

They do maintain radio contact with someone who should know!!!

Can I borrow a mirror?

Why is that, do yours break when you look at them.

Yes some police don't know all of the tiny laws that go on, but that is why you have the right to appeal, which i'm sure you will do, just be aware that if you lose then you will pay court cost as well as the original ticket. Im sure you knew that anyway.

Good luck
