Havn't yet seen Mr L Tooman, or any of his Waikato colleagues on the gravel roads yet.
"Why is that"? you ask.
Because its the safest play to be on a bike.
(cept for creeks)
The bloke has probably overeacted, more out of frustration than anything else.
But lets also be honest here. Akld riders do use Waikato roads as race tracks. Simple. Coro loop anyone?
I have also been on a couple of Akld runs sth, and the pace on backroads on Sundays is pretty crazy. Kids are playing/riding horses/walking dogs etc, and a GRPWXTSR80056 comes screaming round a corner just in time to avoid a John Deere crossing the road. (admit it, its happened to you).
Use the track days for that, ease up this summer,(especially with hay making etc going on), and live to trade up to next years models.
Simple really.Or do it on your own turf. Akld needs the revenue to build roading for the Rugby Stadium that will be ready in time.
