Oh, I musta missed ya. Too many bikes on the road and loving the hill too much to look for ya. I had trouble keeping up with my mate on his awesome Scorpio eh Haydz? But I've learned my lesson. You need to start slow then build up your speed, unlikely you'll start to corner like Bautista or Rossi on the new bike eh?

Ladies and Gentleman, the best example of ABS brakes. On a 110kmh hard-brake on wet slippery road. Let's see which one you'd prefer eh Roki_nz?

Oh no, mate. I wouldn't have even noticed you. I was too busy thinking, "Yay! Whee! Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit! Whee! Whoohoo!" I think my entry speed of 10kph and exit of 20kph on some of those curves was just fast enough, thank you very much!

Hahaha that's EXACTLY what I was thinking. Towards Featherston, there was a Left Bend that goes pretty low, absolutely love it. And over to the other side, another slow one that goes pretty low too. Cross my line once about 5cm and sweat hard...phew.

Another small hill that I love is the Karori Hill to Makara. Bloody awesome. PM me for a ride in the weekend.
