cool is it a x box 360?

**mowgli** · 13th January 2008, 08:47

Well I'm gonna head out around the bays for some thing to do. If it rains all the better for the experience. I'll be leaving BP by Te Papa at 1030 in case anyone else is keen to brave the weather gods with an easy ride.

I met my self at caltex, filled up with some gold nectar and set off.

The drizzle making for a nice, refreshing ride. Taking it easyish but still a good flow in to the first few turns until... vooomp my front end vanishes from under me.

Doh! Just minor scrapes to the bike and no damage to me :-)

**Trudes** · 13th January 2008, 11:24

owwww, crapola!!! Glad you're ok matey and not too much damage done!

Oh Gawd that sux and very glad that stuff is largely ok. What really rips your nickers is scratching your beloved bike, I hope it's not too bad.

It sounds like it was diesel and misty rain (again) on that damned road. A week or so ago Wannabiker reported that there were stripes of diesel on all the right hand corners. I'd have thought there'd been enough rain to flush all that crap away but I guess there's careless people dropping it every day

See if you'd stayed here and helped me with the kitchen cabinetry ....

Stink! Was it just the wet or were you avoiding something? Have you checked tyre pressures? Glad to hear no permanent damage done.

I also met myself only it was the BP opposite Te Papa. I'm glad to report that my ride around the bays was much less eventful than yours. View up the Hutt valley looked very nasty indeed.

I was heading in to a corner, probably not taking enough note of the surface and my cornering. countersteered in just a tad too hard and whammo very little warning and the ominous metal & plastic v's road...

Tyre pressures are fine, the tyres are cheep dual purpose , crap in the wet and the front is nearly due for another one.
