    Yeah, riding at 70kph weaves more than riding at 100kph. Really...


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Dear Rie, go naked! ... Er wait .. I mean ride naked bikes!

    Hearing all these stories about the wind and stuff ... as I ride with the wind poking through all the gaps in my nekkid bikes ...

    Yeah, what all them lot said ... and as for your bike falling over, maybe time for one of those stands which can lock your bike in? (But who has left over dosh for superfluous biker bling like that! )
