The following post is for SMC'ers so we can come as a group to the main event... so please no merging.



Pink Ribbon Charity Ride & the Chance to win a Scooter - This Sunday
ONE in TEN men in New Zealand will lose a SISTER, MOTHER, DAUGHTER or WIFE to
breast cancer."


What: WIMA Pink Ribbon Charity Ride,
Organised by the Women's Motorcycling Association of New Zealand

Where: Meeting at Auckland Uni, 9am for a 9:30 departure to kohimarama
(Actual Ride leaves from ASB Stadium 10.30am, It is a short ride around
the bays then most likely on to western springs as per the last few years).
Meeting point for us is outside the Gym on Symonds Street.

When: Sunday, 12th October

Who: You! Scooters, Bikes, Pillions, everyone. No-one is too small or too big
for this one, it affects us all.

Why: In support of the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation.


Breast Cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in New Zealand.

* 1 in 3 cancers occurring in New Zealand women is breast cancer
* Approximately 2,500 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year
* Over 6 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each day
* Over 600 women die from breast cancer each year
* 1 in 10 women in New Zealand will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their
lifetime
* 1 in 10 men in New Zealand will lose a sister, mother, daughter or wife to
breast cancer
* More than 70% of women diagnosed with breast cancer will survive


So come along, support the cause. Bring a couple of $$ for BBQ at end of ride.
Badges will be on sale for $10 (this is the main fundraiser)
Raffle tickets = heaps of awesome prizes up for grabs. This year the big prize is a HONDA TODAY MOTORINO 50.


If you're lucky, you might see a tl... :laugh:

Hey my gf is interested to come to this one and I am planning to turn her into female biker (and yes I am succesfully made her interested to come to this event. So my plan is working! :devil2:)

So what I would like you guys to ask is.....

Could any "experienced FEMALE BIKER" please pillion her during the ride?

I have spare helmet and knee guard but thats all I have and she does'nt have gears as well so would be great if she can borrow jacket. (in worst case I'll lend her mine and I go squid! lol)

Hanne has your bike fixed? If you can do it that'll be great. I saw you pillioning Sophy, I trust your riding :)

Btw, I only trust few of male bikers in SMC (not in terms of riding but other things) so I don't want her to sit behind of you all dirty bastards bike! :Police:

Devious! Plant the seed of motorcycling. :)
Going pillion on the back of Hanne's bike got me hooked on biking too. :D
I'm sure if there is no one from the smc eligible there might be somewhere else in KB.

Hmmm but I don't know any female bikers in KB except ppl in SMC....

i'd lend her my back seat mate, but dont think i'll be making this one......blardy uni has me crying for an ounce of help that'll open my eyes and help me understand the simplicity of the essay questions with which i am faced.....alas thus far staring at the computer screen has yielded no results.....maybe a few more hours of staring followed by short loaning a random book??

There could be a possibility I could lend a seat, depends on how gorgeous looking she is... :msn-wink:

hey how long is this thing meant to go on for once it gets to its final destination? I'm probably not going to be able to make it, due to excessive amounts of work that needs to get done, but went around coro loop last weekend and ended up smoking my moot! but don't want to push my luck!:apint:

BTW, sorry that can't even offer a pilion seat... but I don't even have mine in auckland... be a little uncomfortable on the back without a seat! I figure my bike is for my enjoyment, and didn't even know anyone else in Ak with a bike when I brought it up (except for Rie).

FWIW, the ride will be finished up by midday, takes a while to get going with the large numbers, but the route isnt long at all. Good cause to support...

TOTO
7th October 2008, 23:39
here is what the organiser wrote:


Ride travels from Selwyn college along the waterfront through the bottom of Parnell onto the North Western motorway and off at Western Springs finishing at Western Springs Stadium for the prizes and raffle draw.
Ride takes about 40 mins to complete.
We have a full police escort and green light wave with the traffic lights.
Cheers
Lisa.

It is short but never the less a great cause indeed.

However, wished it was longer and the organisers would let it run through Queen St, just like the toy run.

See you chaps all there.

hey , whats a smoked moot?

i smoked/creamed/did well in my moot/courtroom/litigation assessment... does that make more sense? My point was that i horsed around at the weekend by going riding and didn't prepare for it until sunday night, and still got a good mark... but realise its a totally different ball game for exams so need to start preparing for them! ekk:shit::sweatdrop


So how was the pink ribbon ride anyway?

Nice piccs Dan - looks like a good time was had by all.

ROFL at the 'smoked Moot'

- had mental images of written submissions rolled up and lit at one end - that's got to be a sure-fire winner with any judge ('scuse the terrible pun)

Frustration finally got the better of me this morning, so I disassembled the whole front of the Viffer to change the head light bulbs (Not strictly necessary - but I couldn't reach in with great mitt AND see where the spring clip latches).

Educational though - I now have considerably more betterer lights AND I found K&N atop the air box - W00T!

(Still can't change stupid farenheit to celcius though - damn US import...)

It was a sweet ride apart from everybody missing the turn off into 'the strand' to get on to the NW motorway, and ended up de-touring through the bottom of the CBD.

Bit of a surprise when the lights started going red...

But everybody got there in the end, har har.

Dad and I were coming back along the NW as the first bikes came through, tooted, waved... and then the bikes stopped. Were going over Newton overpass and cops had closed onramp but there were NO BIKES! wtf?

haha... many many many dirty comments come to mind, but alas i shall refrain!


You could combine the two photos and make a super-photo where none of you are blinking!

i was thinking along the same lines, except, with both of them blinking. we could turn it into the biggest punker of a pic, where yui's eyes are closed and his hand is reaching out for a big biker's (in leathers, n a cruiser, ofcoarse)... Arse!!! hahah, and in the same instant, rach feeling around for a pole or another one of them lady friends!

(just a possibility of my thoughts is all, lets hope NOBODY GETS OFFENDED BY IT AND RED REPS A PISS ABOUT JOKE COMMENT!!!!!!):whistle: - u think that was subtle enough?


...... TITTIES!!!!:rockon:
