[NordieBoy]

You guys go up Tasty rd?

Mmmm...

[JATZ]

NEW.......
What happened to the old one....?
LOL....staggered pissed out of there once or twice..
and driven or over spooners back to Wakefeild...

Old one went tits up a while back, old owners stripped what they could out of it, then it sat empty and derelict for a couple of years before a couple took it over and turned it into a cafe.Very nice it is too, seems to be a popular spot when doing the loop, Nelson, Mot vly, U/Mout...

Didn't spend much time in there though. We poped out on Sunday creek rd and tried to get into Panic Mac, but it's well, a little difficult. I have video, will upload later so it should be ready for viewing about January.
Had a beer at Kohatu then went up Rabbit gully, across Dovedale saddle, along some more road/tracks and came out at U/Moutere Dunno how it happened, but it was a good ride. Followed by another ale at Umopoms
Was a good rideout

I got to the other end of the road but didn't want to lift Schmidt over the rock so rode back & out past the shooters. Nice day for a ride.

Went for a wee roady ride this arvo, well except for a wee hoon by the Mot river.

Coming home from Mot I was in a line of traffic when the driver of a campervan decided all of a sudden that she wanted an apple from that Broken Hill fruit stall on that s bend that I,ve always thought dangerous. Anyway i was unaware of all this until i saw brakelights and tyre smoke and cars on weird angles in front of me. Anyway I managed to brake, and lock the back up so as I slid sideways towards the back of one of the sideways cars we both ended up on the wrong side of the road. Fortunately I managed to miss hitting the sideways car by fuck all, but when I looked up there were 2 cars coming round the corner and were on a collision course for me and the sideways car. Somehow managed to get off the back brake and change direction enough to avoid them, needless to say if i was riding an airhead their would have been rocker cover contact on both sides. Anyway i stopped on the side of the road and watched the following cars passengers and drivers horrified expressions at what could have been. the driver of the camper got out and had an utter look of horror on her face that it was of no use me telling her what she had done wrong so i waved and rode home oddly in a very calm state.

Really didn't need that.

We're glad you're still with us - really!!!

I rode home past the Richmond lites wedge of death today & saw a cop car flashing lites.
There was a car to the side of the wedge that had run into a long brushwood fence I couldn't for the life of me remember seeing a fence like that on the side of the motorway. we're talking right on the shoulder of it.
Now I still truly can't believe what I saw - the front of the car was stoved in like it had hit a lamppost & there was a fence post IMPALED into the bonnet half of the post was now in the engine bay while the rest of it was actually sticking out of the bonnet horizontally. the post was attached to the rest of the fence

I had to look about 5 times to reassure myself I'd seen things correctly.
weird.

That was all I got. Didn't turn my head enough to see the front.

NordieBro heard 4 bikes go past when he was hunting between Spooners and Dove Hill.

1 was really noisy.

Slow/noisy would be me.
Fast/noisy would be the Pom.

He also thinks that Nuggety Creek does go over private land at one point.

saw that car in the accident today on the car transporter - had a nice square hole in the bonnet.
In the paper tonite there was a fair bit of carnage in the forests over the weekend - 18yrold girl over a 7 metre bank choppered out & a collision in Orinocco forest. Not a good look for other forest users.

But you'd stopped to get your head seen to. No one else does that sort of thing.
