knowing that part of town today, it was probably the walking track!

Just been down to fishermans table and back.....
all traffic diverted thru Pie-Cock township (where people live and wont move their cars off the side of the road so traffic could move in 2 directions. so peeps have to wait so trucks will fit past it. one gold car in particular.... arseholes), and everyone still stops at stop signs that are on intersections with closed roads.... fuckwits!!!!! there's not even coppers there, just fulton hogan!
one piece of fucked road in one lane at McKays Crossing.... but even tho the speed limit is 30, people are going at walking pace to see the train track being fixed.... cause of tailbacks for 4-5ks
took me 30 mins from raumati to the killer highway on the bike..... fuck even trying in a cage.
Pie-Cock hill closed....

Except to Hitcher - a very simple matter indeed to push the buttons that operate the traction control and 2-wheel drive.

Made it home safe and sound.
ALL roads open. They were pretty much a river bed.
The Hill was COVERED in stones and mud, and on the way down there was a pretty large amount of water still flowing down the road.
But its ok...
I borrowed a Fireblade to ride home on, so my bike is not too dirty.

Just come back from a ride to the top of the Takas. Didn't go down to Featherston (careful, I'll have to grow a beard and sit on the fence at this rate). The road is clean all the way from Upper Hutt. A little bit of water running across the road above the lakes lookout but that was that!

Some interesting wind gusts on the way back down. I think that the ST will benefit greatly from a set of Metzeler Roadtec Z6s. I'm also getting used to the world of toe-scuffing corners again -- haven't done much of that since the Zeal.

and this from stuff.co.nz

"Meanwhile, about 300 Scouts at the national jamboree in Feilding spent last night sleeping in stock pens, exhibition halls and the grandstand at Manfeild Park after heavy rain left many parts of the grounds waterlogged."

that'll teach the little %^&# to wreck an open day!!!!!
