Hawke's Bay weekend rides

After such a perfect day for riding, it was sad indeed to hear that someone didn't get home. Take care out there, everyone.

Lucky for us... whilst we were riding back from Wairoa a gunman shot one man dead, shot and injured a boy, left the scene, rolled his car and then hijacked an old couples ute. AOS and other police have been choppered in, and the main trunk from Napier to Wairoa is closed.

So, we're lucky to have made it through, and lucky not to have bumped into a whole fleet of armed coppers
in hyper mode too.

Same with us in the cage. Came through Wairoa around 2.30 and came across the 1st police around Waihua, saw a helicopter, ambulance and 2 police cars at Tutira and then another 5 police cars on the way. Had to wait at the 2/5 intersection for armed police to wave us thru to get home. Road now closed between Raupunga and the 2/5 intersection so we lucky to have got home.

Oh ohhhh, I think someone must have hacked my KB account and put those birdie & tugger emoticons in there next to our friendly Police Officer emoticons. Outragous.

Well I for one am happy to have them around as we are in the area. I take exception to this Schado. This is not play time and people are dead. We have experienced this sort of thing first hand and we live in the closed road area. Hope it doesn’t happen again or to one of the police on duty. Give these police some respect for they are putting their lives on the line for the rest of us……………. Yes I am angry that you have the nerve to post like this……………… up yours……….

If you had second thoughts about your posting you should have removed it.

EDIT I feel a lot angrier than I can put on here about this posting……………..

I do feel for you Steve. Not nice knowing there is a guy out there who is locked in by the road blocks. Hope the catch him soon.

The Burger Fuel ride was great. Road lovely and dry. Quiet trundle to Wairoa and back - might've been abit slow for some, but was nice all the same. Bike lacked horsepower

But the SV did well today.

Sure has been an eventful weekend for Hawkes Bay.
