    This trader must be pretty hard to outdo as far as optimism goes. Bike has been on the market for a year now, wonder when the penny will drop he''s dreaming at that price. You'd have thought after a year he might have got round to the little bit of tlc required to get running. ...

    With only 2 days until the new year, and just over 2 months until the season starts it's time for a new thread. Who's your money on? Will Bagnia do the triple? Will Marc return to former glory and bring us a season in which he dominates? Will Martin secure his dream to win a championship?...

    Psychology of road safety

    For those who have too much time on their hands. Interesting thoughts on road safety. And the arguments as to why driver education isn't the golden egg it's made out to be. Pete

  • Christchurch Quake Appeal Ride (Sat 19 March)

    Christchurch Quake Appeal Ride


    DATE: Saturday March 19th.
    LEAVE TIME: 10:30am from Dairy Flat BP on the Northern Motorway.
    ARRIVAL TIME: 11:30 am at the Muddy Waters Tavern in Mercer
    DONATION: $10 per Bike

    With tributes and support coming in from around the world, now is the time to show how much we care about our own.
    There are thousands of Kiwis in Christchurch that need assistance now more than ever.
    A cash donation from bikers in the North Island will indeed help some of those who are going through desperate times.
    All we are asking for is a $10 donation from each Bike.
    Donations to made on the day but if you cant make it or would prefer, a bank account number is avaliable below.
    The Appeal funds collected will be forwarded to the Salvation Army Earthquake appeal.

    In true Kiwibiker tradition, we urge bikers from the Waikato/BOP/ King Country and everywhere in between and beyond to get in and show your support and generosity for those devastated by the Christchurch Earthquake.

    :Fatt Max will donate a couple of 'Blooze Yeah' albums as spot prizes.

    :Bank account for donations if you cant attend the ride - Use CHCH Quake as the reference please and add you online name.

      Post #2 now has the Ride Rules.
      It spells out how I want the ride to go.
      We got 360 bikes around the Auckland Motorway and into the Domain in 09' using a similar system.
      I will read the main points out on the day.

      Hi guys,

      I'll be there to support you on the day and I'd like to donate my services as a"tail end charlie".
      If anyone has any issues, I'll happily take them to the end of the route at no cost.
      From there I can negotiate to take them home if needed. Unfortunately I won't be able to cater for the Can Ams or trikes on this one. Contact me on 0211569448 in regards to the ride.

      Cheers Kevin

      The lovely Lady's from WIMA will be at both the start and the finish collecting the donations.
      They will be wearing thier PINK vests so they'll be easily spotted.
      Just give your money to any of the collectors and they will hand it over to the counters, thank you.
      And thank you WIMA.
