    Try heading south out of Paeroa?
    Apparently all roads leading on to roads south are closed...they kept directing us to Auckland FFS!!
    We eventually drove thru the barriers...

    I left Paeroa at 6pm, got to the North Shore at 10.15pm.

    Cars suck.

    I found it quite amusing, until the actual road works itself. Shittiest piece of roading work I've seen in a while. I pity the poor bastard they left out there to pick up the cones.

    He had sausages as well.

    Was in the cage.

    After an hour or so approximately STATIONARY, took a side road an took a traffic-free route back to Aucks via the Kaiaua chip shop.

    Snap on the music. WHAT are they thinking!?! They'll be paying to publically broadcast music there, so it should at least be goodish and suited to a biker crowd - as opposed to badness accentuated by delay!

    To be honest, it was to be expected....on the way down at 4am, I actually said to my son that some plonker planned this well....

    Who was the RED DUCATI that took out the door of the silver Subaru on the Ngatea Road....we saw that and thought was the initial hold up....

    Funny thing is, we were HOONING alone the Ngatea straight, whilst over taking a slow piece of crap and a copy pulled out FLASHING....my guts ended up on the mat....luckily it was not me he was after....

    Well... thats a load off my mind

    Seriously, I didn't see you... didn't see a number of other people as well... I don't drive cars, and don't differentiate between them... miss my family's vehicles the whole time.
