    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Just drove back from 2 days in the Hawkes Bay. Not fair, I want to relocate. That was 2 days of better weather than Wgtn has had all 2006! When did Wgtn last get 2 average day sinb a row? We are not even allowed that luxury #@&%. Car aircon was working overtime. Got in 9 holes of golf in the late arvo- hot! Loved it. Aircon was on all the way to Paraparaumu then... reality hit home. Grey sky, winds, temperature dropping and rain by Porirua. Thanks for the welcome home Wgtn. Bastard.

    I got caught out in high winds at the tops of the Tararuas afew Augusts ago, ended us spending the night in the bush when it blizzarded, rained, snowed and hailed on us... I promised never to complain about Wellington weather again...

    But this is getting ridiculous!

    Thats a really nasty 'funnel' in a certain wind direction. Theres several wind directions that make certain corners quite nasty...I think I've found all of them at some stage.

    It's on days like yesterday that I'm glad the CB is a bit lardy. I managed to get in and out of Welly without too much buffeting. I think its weight keeps it planted. S'funny though, I always find that the stretch of road by the IRD/Railway Station/Ferrymans Junction (heading out of Welly) acts like wind tunnel and can catch you out...even when it's not windy!

    When I came to start my bike last night after it's tip over I noticed it was running on 3 cylinders. Boo hoo. I thought I may have some more issues to sort out so was ready to take the tank of when I got home, only to find it running smoothly on all 4 again.
    I'm guessing a whole lot of crap got thrown around when it fell and just needed flushing out?

    Hey there. I have a 250 Hyosung - night shift last night - came in from the Hutt "in the car". Only sighted 1 motorbike. Too dangerous. Glad its calmed down - rain not so bad, its the damn wind!

    I left my bike in my parents garage while I was away, and I'm not even going to go and pick it up today, it's too nasty on the Eastbourne road. Went through in my car before and got hit by waves coming over the road and there's all kinds of crap washed onto the road as well. BLAH!

    Was hoping for a good day today so I could go for a ride, do some washing, mow the lawns...before heading back to work tomorrow...

    Take care everyone riding today - it's a crap one.
    Funny I was in Broadbeach/Gold Coast last week and a storm came through that forced us to abandon our games (Softball - Pan Pac masters) and run for our cars. The storm was so fierce it made the national news with huge flooding and someone struck by lightning. Quite windy too. Had to get out of the car in the pouring rain to push a stalled car off the motorway. None of the Aussie drivers wanted to help. And the lady driving the car was HOTTTTT with 2 small children.
