    Touchy subject for me, my grandfather has worked on the roads for nearly 50 years. He has also ridden bikes for the majority of that period and bought be my first bike when I was 6.

    I wouldn't say you can specifically blame one NZ transit for not sweeping up the roads. I've had a "shark" cut me off and spit gravel all over my 900cc Justy just to pull someone over and give them a warning. I got out to give him an earful. Despite the fact that he didn't care he had nearly run me off the road, put stone chips in the bonnet and blinded me with the gravel, he said that it was the my job as a member of the public to identify and report faults, so If I had an issue with how the "gravel" I should either get my ass on harbour bridge and sweep it up, or complain to the LTNZ.

    In my area its rather easy to identify where "gravel" or bad road surface area's are located. Ain't no gravel on the motorway.
    I wave to every biker I see.

    Buggered if I know but NZ's crap roads GOT me last night on the way back to Clevedon. New tyre on the back of the Supermoto (the Pirelli Scorpion) so the usual bald trye puncture wasn't the excuse.
    No, it was a CONSPIRACY I tell ya!
    It was Transit NZ, some contractor who read my rant or one of YOU bastards who read my mind and booby trapped our route.

    And DAMMIT! you did it well too. That cut was BIG. Yes, i did manage to get a worm into it and 3 small botles of CO2 to limp home on, but there was no way the tyre shop was gonna let me outta there riding on that tyre! Kaching! Fork over $350 for your new tyre sir, you will not be allowed to use the remaining 5mm of tread left on the 'old' one.

    So I owe you bastards, I'm filling up my gas bottles and I'm gonna set the goddam flames on maximum!

    Blame the homie losers that drink their lollie water 'alcopops' and then throw the bottles out the window of the 87 Corrona they're trying to look cool in.

    Now if they were driving an alcopop and drinking corona, then at least they would have a nice drink.
