That was a wet 'un!
Had a crapper of a week, so I went out to Coromandel for some solo riding time.
It featured:
1x Scariest Bike Ride of all time due to night, rain, fog, wind, and new tyres.
1x Excursion to Hot Water Beach (complete with F&C)
1x Gas Heater for gear drying at the bach
1 x 309 Road (Deserted)
1x Castle Point (Deserted)
4x Flooded Fords
1x Kauranga Valley (Deserted)
1x Spectacular iPod Death
8x Near Death Experiences
Twas a good weekend. Lessons learnt:
1: Scrub your brand new tyres BEFORE heading out on a night/wet ride.
2: Wet Rides are good as long as you acknowledge that you will get wet and cold and you mentally label this as 'Fun'.
3: iPods and Digital Cameras don't like water.

I will do a motorcycle tour of NZ one day.
Not a straight road to be seen.
But I think it would have to be a summer thing.

We could go for some rain... we're in hardcore drougnt down here in the boot. Trailriding in groups is a complete bust unless you plan on servicing your air filter during the lunch break.
No way in hell I'd ride in weather like that, you, sir, are insane
