    Taniwha
    In Maori mythology, Taniwha are beings that live in deep pools in rivers, dark caves, or in the sea, especially in places with dangerous currents or deceptive breakers. Some can tunnel through the earth, uprooting trees in the process. Some taniwha are credited with creating harbours by carving out a channel to the ocean

    The taniwha said you can't build that motorway until you've paid me enough money and the mps agreed.

    If you're old enough you may remember it as a brand of soap (or soap powder)
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    Interesting.
    How many bikers did you learn?

    I find that road courtasy works both ways, Solw down as you come up behind a car, flash your pass light so they notice you, put on your indercator and watch them make room. It works 90% of the time. Sit right up their arse and they resent it and hold ya up. Simple manners really.
