Well I'm heading into Dunedin on the bike soon so if you see a big black thing with headlights like a railway train - its probably just me.
If its not raining when I get to Waihola I'll probably skip over the Taieri Mouth road - still trying to get that road worked out. The corners aren't easy to read and there always seems to be loose stuff - Delphinus and I had quite a few twitches riding through there a few nights ago.

i was just over the waihola road before, still some loose shit on the road which is a pain.we had some rain in town before but wasnt raining down there

Yeah i went over that road not too long ago and it was dodgy as, but at least they have put up some corner speed signs now cos some of them really sneek up on ya.
Good to see most of the gravel has gone off the road now though

I went over there last Saturday and they are repairing the seal (yes already) just as you leave the top and drop down towards Whaihola (heading south). Large patches of loose stuff and absolutley no road signs warning you of the fact. Bloody iresponsible in my opinion. Had a few 'interesting' moments

Hope to see you all there.

Ha - sorry but I would rather check it out than travel all the way there for nothing. Want to swap bikes for a few laps???? Well you can't blame me for trying! Did you find out what the story was with times. Scruitneering etc and sign on time? God I hate those early starts. See you there. My front tyre is meant to arrive tomorrow - the old tyres that came with the rims are like riding on grease.

Yeah what is with the road workmanship lately? That passing lane just north of Milton they were patching up not even a month after they finished it!

I will email John again today and get back to you on times, when he first emailed me he said 9, but it pays to check.
Im only taking the CBR down this time Gary, and no sorry mate no swapping but good try, still a few wee things to do with the WR before it sees any big tracks.
