Sunday 22 November - Auckland

[Maha]

I might have to spread the word on this and see if some dirty bikers from the dirty Waikato can make it up for a spot of tea and crumpets. I haven't been to mission bay in years.

Oh how exiting!

Yeah get the Kato' to represent, cowbells expected!!

Oh for goodness sake! Its Mission Bay. Crumpets are so yesterday - its scones and cream. Dirty Bikers are not permited. Fanging and racing on the streets are frowned upon in these parts.

Be good to see you lot again

There always a bit of crumpet in 'The bay of Mission' on Sundays.

Failing that, I will have mushrooms on toast

[MadDuck]

Happy to share Maha

All sounds good. I am coming, Mom. Hey, just asking...why this event on the calender don't have that part where we can put our name down if we are attending. That will give a better idea on how many will be coming. Cheers

Probably because I did not tick the box

Ok, we can now register our intention to attend

And I am the only one so far

Ok.... some good ideas for public flyers... but here's my effort for the biker flyers... please check it out and print out a zillion for every biker you know...

Hardly a visible protest though if a bunch of bikers park up in an empty carpark on a Sunday morning, nowhere to have brekkie either.

I am not that much bothered about annoying anyone except for the businesses that might potentially lose income if cars cant get in there. Look there is any amount of parking buildings in the city. The bloody cars can go and park there and walk a bit further than they would normally do. It is bikes taking up the spaces that is making the statement.

I can't make this on Saturday, I have already arranged to have coffee with several of my female biker friends at various places around the town

If you want to annoy the businesses, have everyone pack a picnic rather than buying their food and beverages.

Mission Bay is good. The spill over could go to St Helliers (local Nat MP office in an apartment one street back from the main road (Polygon Rd) so local businesses don't have far to go to whine at their MP

Parnel Rd is a prime target as there really aren't many parking places on adjacent roads. Ponsonby Rd is better as far as impact on business for a lunch/dinner run (tons of restaurants) Though a bit more adjacent parking and not so many picnic spots

[flyingcrocodile46]

Good plan!
But can we get it defined a bit more please?
If the turnout is to be small-ish do we need to make one area our own (so to speak)?
Like the waterfront, or Ponsonby road?
Not much of a city type myself, so where are the parking places we can make the biggest impact.

And I take it we get in the CBD early to score the parks and hold onto them for the 9am flurry of 'shoppers'?

Nice Sig

Not for long Mom!

Hey, lets get this really clear. I DO NOT want to annoy the businesses! No way - no how. If we take up the carparks, and take the cage trade away, we HAVE to go and support them.

Fantastic! Thank you so much!

So far it is just you and me. We may be little, but we are noisey

[Tink]

Sorry, no parking for cars

Shame, as I can't pillion being a learner, I guess it will be no learners with 2 kids, or park a million miles away... tis Mission Bay! I could scrape myself outer bed earlier than you lot... and park erm, yes defeats the purpose...

Great idea Mom, I'm with you all the bloody way.

good on Gillian!!!!
