BIKEOI Wellington

[StoneY]

Tell him to give Rick Barker MP a call. He could go on the back of Rick's Rocket.

Rick is coming yes

And he gets to take his bike through the gate so Marshals at Stadium, peel him out please
:)

[Azi Dahaka]

I have word that a HB MP would like to pillion to parliament. He has all his own gear, but no bike. He really wants to be a part of this. Can anyone help?

i think everyone as a right to ride but who is HB MP siorry if that sounds thick but i have no idea

[Hawkeye]

Just wonderin' from the guys here that know the lay of the land down in welly... I'm flying in on the morn of the 17th and current plan is that dogsnbikes is loaning one of his bikes for me to join the last part of the ride (picking up from the blubridge terminal)

I'm arriving in WGTN @ 10:30 and gonna cab into the cbd and have to be back @ the airport for a 4:30 flight (so by 4 @ latest really) and I'm a bit concerned with timing


Couple of Q's
1. Will I have time to get to an assembly point?
2. Will I be able to get DnB's bike back 2 the ferry term and back to the airport in time for my plane (considering how much damage we might to do to wellington's transport infrastructure ;) ) (maybe I'll be able to get a pillion back to the aiport from a kind bikie

3.am I expecting to much - and should I just make it to parliament and help out the guys there?

any advice appreciated - spent a bit of time in welly - so know the approx layout etc - but some local knowledge would be good...

I'm helping as a Marshall so can't do the pickup but I'm happy to give you a pillion back to the airport after the protest.

This guy will already be in Wgtn


i think everyone as a right to ride but who is HB MP siorry if that sounds thick but i have no idea

A Member of Parliament, from Hawkes Bay

[Azi Dahaka]

what party is he with and if i think it is ok i will do it but he would have to meet me in the hutt valley

[yungatart]

Labour.....

[StoneY]

If it gets my ST on the Stage ill 'chaeffuer" him through the gates!!!!

:lol:

[Azi Dahaka]

well i dont mind then but as i said he would have to spend taxpayer money to get to the hutt valley or some other agreed meeting point but the more the merrier coming to the protest

[twistemotion]

I was wondering whether we should display which region we're from during the Bikoi. Something like a simple sign on the bike that says where we're from. It could also be a small flag of the local rugby team or whatever. What do you guys think? It could be interesting to see where everyone's from and remind the public and media that we've come from all over.

We will park where we're told, but we don't need to be quiet while protesting! I've got some extras which I'll hand out on the day to those who can put them to good use :woohoo:

[Kennif]

I think we can all get a good idea of how we are going to be treated by the media by the DomPost "Last Worder" entry today. It reports on a "Hard Core Biker" (self-described!!) who has suggested that we report any injury as being caused by riding a mountain bike. Although the post was obviously tongue in cheek, the item begins

"Motorcyclists ... are conspiring to distort official accident statistics by pinning their injuries on pushbikes."

Well folks - that's how it's gonna be! :bash:

[Trudes]

How totally wrong, rude and underhanded!!! I would never blame any accident I had on falling off a bike!! I only fall off ladders and down stairs!

Well I've got the arvo off work & thought best I find out when & where.

Well I've been looking for 1/2 hr on this & other threads & I've no real idea what time.

I had thought it was meet at the Duck pond at 1, but other threads say will arrive at Parliament at noon.

Should really update the very first post. No one wants to trawl through 36 pages for the simple info & I won't be the only stupid one:confused:.

Thanks to all those who volunteered to be marshalls and to the emergency services :Police:who made the ride into Welly safe and hassle-free. And thanks to those riders who made their way to Wellington from all over NZ for this event - you cant beat Welly on a good day, eh!?

And so it starts... I'm angry and I aint a trout!

Big ups to all who had a hand in orginizing this.....WE WILL WIN!!!!!

[Paulo]

Great turnout and for once the sun was out. Never seen so many goatees in one place (lots of bikes too) ;)

[Trudes]

Just watched on the 4:30 One NEWS that there is some progress made from today's protest....... a backdown? A compromise? More to come at 6pm, but it sounds like we have made ourselves heard!! Well done everyone!

[sidecar bob]

Not sure where else to post this so i'll do it here. To all the guys going south between Taupo & Bulls yesterday. I was travelling north. Excellent form, i didnt see one bit of dickhead riding at all & was well impressed with you guys.
the groups of bikes coming the other way were cool too, it made my otherwise boring trip interesting.
Thankyou to all of you for being the voice of many of us that wanted to attend, but couldnt.
P.S, will Harleys actually run by themselves, or do they only work if theyre in pairs?

Ditto to this, you guys did an AWESOME job! Wish I'd been able to get more involved. I'd love to know the turnout!

When i arrived at Parliament they were just saying something about an official petition - I signed that slightly dodgy one online. Is there another official petition somewhere I can sign or was that it?

Time to celebrate like these guys:

Sorry I didn't end up pulling the public information thing together... Life got a bit crazy and it ended up dropping down the list of priorities...

However, yesterday was a hoot!! And I'd be keen to support other actions in Wellington, like taking up parks, slow rides on the motorway etc...
