And the harbour rushing up to meet ya.

Did you find out about that bike in the drink?

Mate of mine rode his Triumph into it last year and it was yellow.

He was still sitting on it in the water after landing, so he was fine, but his ego suffered colossal damage and his bike was known as the yellow submarine after that.

it was wayne from otago honda, was posted early. the yellow sub that would'nt of been a good look. the thing with that road is that it does'nt matter what time of year you go down it, there is at least always one corner with clay or grit on it. you just gota be ready for it

I ride like a pussy when there is water on one side of me. I been in the Parramatta harbour on a bike and it puts you off doing it again coz the water here is colder for a start!

I heard some bikes going up the valley by my place and wondered if it was some of you - how did it go?
Got rather tied up with family stuff and a rather important anniversary so a ride in the cold air didnt' make the top of the list. Hopefully next time.

yea the ride up was great, a bit frosty in places but there was no grit on the road. we meet the group from balclutha at lawrance because we left town a we bit late. apart from the cold air, which i hardly even noticed the weather was great for a ride, they picked a good day to do the run

**hayd3n** · 11th August 2008, 17:28

yeah we had a great day and the local coppas were friendly too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**scorry** · 12th August 2008, 07:37

Yeah was a great ride, i am glad we went and got a coffee 1. because i was hungover and 2. it let the roads thore out nicely.
I found out the Balclutha guys are holding a have a go day at teretonga on the 26th October, and its only $20 with classes depending on your riding.
but thats labour weekend so i am gonna be in greymouth, bugger
