So who was the dickhead who got photographed (in todays ODT page 22 ) on the Cheescutter protest ride . For those who haven't seen it the photo is taken from a following car (doesn't say whether it was the driver who took it). It shows the rider riding along in heavy rain at the back of a group of bikes and he/she has stood up and swung his right leg over the seat and has it just behind his left leg.
Thanks to this dickhead the only publicity photo for a ride to protest against unsafe road barriers - is of a rider doing dumb unsafe riding

Thanks Ken - gone right off there haven't they. If that bike had bald tyres as some have suggested then it would have been interesting if he had hit an unseen pothole in all that rain - a series of uncontrollable standing up tank slappers followed by a quick check of the sump of the photographers car??

On something completely different I have started up a new thread for Otago Adventure riders

For those of you who like to divert through the back country roads sometimes please stick up a post and subscribe to the thread.
cheers

The last bike they blew up took like half an hour on full throttle, i think it was an old 400 4, so air cooled and i bet it would have been puttin out a pretty good glow

Weather report shows showers and a high of 8 for Invercargill on Sunday. Seems like most times I have been to Teretonga practice is on a wet track and racing on a dry one, expect it will be OK though as it usually turns out to be - see you there! Ployprops under the leathers though!
