@Kruse taking OLd Russel ROad or goin over on Ferry?
I was planning on ferry there, road back.
But ferry queue was ridiculous, and I tried the wrong road... I saw Russell Road, and thought it must be an option, but first tried some other road which turned to gravel quite early, and I gave up on the whole thing. A super late lunch at McLeods instead. -
And now, at Mangawhai Tavern... Leigh Hart has walked in... he isn't drinking his shitty unfunny wakachangi beers, that's for sure.
I dearly want to explain to him how he hasn't done a single slightly amusing thing in his entire career, and “comedy” in NZ would be well served by him just disappearing, complete with his gimmick “beers” and chips and whatever else ... but he is quite the large fluffybunny. -

He actually tried to start up a conversation... the bike being the excuse. I politely snubbed him.
He is the farthest thing from comedic, and the polar opposite of a genius. -

Indeed. I was musing on that yesterday evening. And that 50% of people have a 2-digit IQ.

@Kruse the car ferry queue usually moves pretty quick though...bit late now.
My wife and I were very impressed by the slickness of the operation.

Point well made. I assume that the below is why you said it, factually correct and is rather depressing.
QI about IQ - They kind of have to have half below 100 as the tests are designed to maintain an average of 100 points, but it does explain a lot about the general population. The problem with keeping it at 100 is that it removes any trend over time. Are people getting thicker or smarter? I know what I think, but I'm a GOM.
I learnt to fly with Hart's brother who had a similar "sense of humour". More smartass than comedy but a good bloke.
So where to now @kruse? Mangawhai tavern to...
Oh and what is your bike that prompted the snubbing? -

Next... dunno, need to start heading south, for work in Wellington on Monday.
My bike... Triumph Speed Triple. Leigh saw it as he entered, then 5 minutes later, just happened to make a call to a mate, took it outside to where I was sitting, and commenced to loudly ask his mate about his bike.
Then asked some rudimentary questions of me, and slunk off when I treated him with the disdain he deserved.
Or, that was my takeaway of it all anyway. -

So that lunch at The Duke is happening? Smoked duck breast salad is good, or they have a ceviche for something lighter. It's all damned fine though and I am jealous of both the idea of lunch at The Duke, and your bike. Nice machine.

I think anyone perusing my posting history will note that I'm pretty low brow.
I mean, not enough to watch shite like 7 days, but still......

The bastards ran out of ceviche literally 5 minutes after opening for lunch. I was all lined up to order the shit out of that, when I overheard the waitress telling the next table.
And yeah, I do like the Speed Triple. Unfortunately, it's as ugly as sin just now, with one of those terrible Ventura luggage racks tacked on, with all my stuff for a road trip.
When I bought it, it's also got an aftermarket Remus exhaust fitted, so that lovely sound @antipodean mentioned is a bit louder... but that beautiful rear single swing arm wheel is half hidden.

Because some idiots got the driving thread locked
Things I learned driving back up the coast
The Bruce Highway is the worst major highway in Western civilisation. It's fucking deplorable. Made worse by floods causing potholes. But the stretch of Rocky to Ayr is some 3rd world post apocalyptic shit.
There are maybe half a dozen creek names in Qld, and they just rotate them
6 mile Creek
4 mile Creek
8 mile Creek
Saltwater Creek
Rocky creek
Emu CreekQueensland is fuck off big

Probably still better than any suburban Sydney road, can't complain about city slickers in 4wd's when they have to drive on NSW roads.
What happened to the driving thread?
