Are you the instructor on Lake Road, Belmont?

**@ndy** · 27th January 2016, 19:47

Hello, I though I try my luck here...
Riding to work this morning on Lake Road in Belmont going towards Devo..
You pull up beside me at the traffic light, had a HiViz vest with instructor written on it...
I gather you had some kind of "constructive" feedback or comment about me/my bike...
Unfortunately between the bikes noise and my hear plugs I did not catch a single word that you said...
Was curious to figure what you wanted from me since you are an instructor and all...

I'm an instructor in Christchurch. I wear a hi viz with Instructor written on it.

I used to be Navy, so I know Devo (Whip It), Belmont and Lake Road.

I ride a BMW.

If it were me I'd have said "Keep medicines in a high cabinet away from children".

Sorry, I'm in a frivolous mood.

Definately a sound suggestion, I'll move my medicines straightway ... however I think the instructor this morning was less than impressed with my splitting lanes antics haha
( can't be late for work ... those grey ships are not going to clean them self !).

I got a speech from the Training MEO Butch Beeman when I joined in 82 about apprentices killing themselves on motorbikes.

He was bloody near right.

Funny how the world has turned.

The Grey Funnel Line and motorcyclists are close friends going back decades.

Yes at the moment there is a good group around base on 2 wheels ... mostly well behaved... well sometimes

I was actually in the RNZNH Philomel in 1982 with an attack of Gasterenteritis.....I had apparently passed out at colours...
Anyway, in the bed next to me was a second year apprentice that had half his right foot almost lopped off due to a low slide on a motorbike!
He seemed proud as punch telling me the story....
