Please support this ride

Exactly! Hence the need to bring this issue back to public notice!

Cheers mate!

Bit of lateral thinking here though. We cant organise your rides for you people. This is a wonderful opportunity for those of us that feel strongly about the Cheesecutter barriers and the devastating effects they are capable of delivering to show our hand.

The ride that Maha man has organised is to raise funds for our Westpac helicopter, we have also chosen to use it as an opportunity to liven this issue up a bit.

Imagine if you can, a ride on the same day, all over NZ, for the same cause (raising funds for our helicopters) and taking our message to the people.

If anyone wants ideas on what they can do PM me or Maha man.

Organise your own rides out, with arm bands and petitions, raise some money for the folk that come and get us if we are in trouble while you are about it.

What I would love to see is people all over the country doing something on the day to raise the awareness. I have the original media contacts and am willing and prepared to co-ordinate this drive.

Please make it a big thing.

i will speak with my local triumph club, see if they can help rally around. i will wait to see what chanceyy comes up with, and then print slips of paper with date and details and hand them out to local riders who come into my work. see if the local rag will run an advert or article for us.

With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight we have now put a link to this thread on the home page. I was beginning to think that no one cared about the cheesecutter issue.

The Westpac/local to you helicopter ride provides a perfect opportunity for those of us that feel sufficiently moved about the issue to have a say!

This is a ride that Maha man is attempting to get happening nationwide, to raise funds for the people that come and get us, and our kids, and our parents, and our friends, should help be really needed.

What better way to provide a heads up for the CC cause, a National Ride on the same day.

What say you all?

We are wanting all others to choose which Bike Shop would best suit to be at when we get there. This is going to be a Nation Wide Event with other rides being organised in the lower North Island and in the South Island as well. We have had contact from an insider at the New Zealand Herald and a press release will be put together ASAP...
Im looking forward to what the other Regions come with and once they are sorted, we will get in touch with the Herald.
More updates as they happen....thank you....Mark

Still not an answer, as Mark will be reading this maybe he will give an answer to the question.

I will still support the Westpac meet but I don't think it will get the WRB issue over as it is not a main issue and therefor devalues any WRB protest run.

Hi John, thanks for your feed back!

As this is my thread I will respond.

Maha man is organising a ride that gives us all an opportunity to support our local rescue helicopter mate. He is doing his best to make it happen NZ wide. It is also a prime opportunity for us to hook up to his idea and raise awareness of these WRB's and the damage they can do not only to motorcyclists.

This issue has deliberately been split into both Meetings and Events for the Helicopter ride/s and the Cheese Cutter Campaign for those of us that want to take this matter further.

Organise your ride etc in Meetings and Events, and discuss what we are going to attempt to do for the campaign here.

Please try not to be negative about this initiative mate, please dont respond in a negative way! Being supportive is the way to go! None of us like WRB's. Some of us will hopefully support this ride.

We are very sensitive to where you are at John, we met your lovely boy. This is why we want to do something.

So what is happening re the WRB side of this run?

As Maha man plans not have any time on the stops to discuss the matter,
how are we going to get the matter over to the press?

**WelshWizard** · 2nd May 2008, 20:47

removed to keep thread on topic

Just an update on that....there will be something said at each stop by someone who is very passionate about this subject. And a press release has been forwarded to all media outlets.
