BIKEOI spare pillion and/or bike thread.

[DMCD]

Please post here if you have a spare bike or pillion space for riders and supporters who would like to join but either don't have a bike or have a bike incapable of making the long trip.

Please also post here if you are said rider or supporter who needs a hand.

I will edit this post with a bikers with spare pillion, supporters in need of spare pillion, bikers with spare bike and bikers in need of spare bike sections.

I think it goes without saying but i will say it anyway, if you are riding pillion or using someone ride you must have the appropriate safety gear.

A good point made by Nasty:

If you are not used to having a pillion this is not a chance to step up and try. Being a large ride there are a huge number of risks involved in the group riding. This is a not a practice ground.

[klingon]

Excellent plan :2thumbsup

At this stage I might be in two categories - it looks like I will be flying from Auckland to Wellington around that date, so
a) My Volty will be available for someone who's really keen to ride a 250cc single to Wellington :lol: and
b) I will be in Wellington without a bike. :weep:

I will confirm my plans closer to the time, but great idea with this thread!

Thanks,

I have put you in the "Bikers in need of spare bike" category unless you are just after pillion seat or either?

[DMCD]

I'm not entirely sure if bumping is permitted but I guess I will find out.

Thank's, it would be nice so it doesn't get lost in the sea of threads.

[nudedaytona]

I will be flying into Wellington as well, so I need a spare bike or pillion too. Cheers.

[Cr1MiNaL]

I've got a spare seat but it's an R1 so he/she would have to be pretty damn petite. Im based in Auckland.

[wingrider]

Klinon,
can offer you a seat on a goldwing if you can get to Paraparaumu in the morning.

[coffeejunkie]

bump.....bump....

Bump away DMCD this is a good thread.....sadly i can not offer anythng as balzy will be on his bike and i am his pillion

[Azi Dahaka]

my wife wont be joining me i am in the HUTT if someone needs a ride i am on a boulevard c50t so plenty of room though my overweight fat ass does take up some space ^_^ just kidding

i will more than insist you provide your own helm and gears though

[DMCD]

Thank you all that have offered so far.

[klingon]

Klinon,
can offer you a seat on a goldwing if you can get to Paraparaumu in the morning.

Thanks wingrider, I will take you up on this kind offer.

DMCD, could you please update the first post to reflect this? I look forward to seeing that post growing with the various happy combinations of bikes, riders & pillions. :) Great job.

[WuZards-Eugene]

I can offer pillion services on the ZX10 (old not new) and/or possibly a spare bike. Can pickup from pre-arranged location (such as airport) if ya ask nicely.

[StoneY]

My GSXR 1100 has been lent out for the ride

Thats one more bike and 2 more bodies added

Will advize availability of my pilion seat, see how Missus StoneY is feeling at the time

[Jantar]

I will have a spare seat on my VStrom, and my wife assures me it a very comfortable seat. You will have to provide your own gear though, and I do insist on helmet, gloves, jacket, leather footwear (boots preferred) and no bare skin showing if you want to ride behind me.

[KrazyGixxerBoy]

I will have a spare seat on my 90 GSXR1100 - same deal applies re: gear, ATGATT supporter only please.

[Azi Dahaka]

thats interestring i thought that klingon was going with wingrider i dont mind either way just want to confirm so i know what ill be doing

[Hanne]

Hi, I am keen to join the ride down but do not have a bike at this point...
That MAY change in the next 3 weeks, but is it possible to put my name on the bike needed list and remove it if I do end up with my own vehicle before the 17th? Fully licenced rider, have taken pillions before too.
Cheers,
Hanne

What's your location Hanne?

PS. good luck on getting a new bike, not much can compare with new bike day.

Hanne is based somewhere in Auckland and has been/will be involved in organising the Auckland end of the protest rides.

Hanne my Volty is available for you to ride to Wellington. I would suggest you leave now if you want to get here by Nov 17. :laugh:

[dogsnbikes]

Ok I will be trailing two bikes to wgtn
CBX750 & CB250

I dont know wether I will have the day off but have applied for it,

Now medically I can-not ride for 12moths due to Epilepsy,so its not doing our cause any good if I do ride but both bikes are there to be used and if anyone with a cage can give me a ride thats cool otherwise I will will be waiting for you in Wgtn

[davereid]

Ok I will be trailing two bikes to wgtn
CBX750 & CB250

I have a moped that could be added to that trailer if space allows.. its moped rego so someone without a class 6 licence could use it if they wished to add support. Have helmet & jacket for 'em too and maybe a pair of pants if the arse is the right size.

As long as you dont mind it coming down on the 11th and getting it back on the 25th all the bikes will be stored at strait shipping/bluebridge terminal and will have to be picked up from there

Oh just a thought Any one got a side car I can sit in:shifty:be much better than a cage:laugh:

[Pedrostt500]

I will have a Pillion seat available, and maybe a second bike, both bikes are trail bikes and will require some one with a full licence, the Second bike depends on if i can get it revined and WoF and Reg in time.

[Ride it till the red]

I'm without a bike but am more than happy to jump on one (preferably riding as being pillion freaks me out!) to show support. Despite my lack of motivation to get any further than my learners in the licensing system I'm happy to and have experience riding up to medium sized (750 odd cc) bikes and legal trail bikes also. Can meet anywhere in Wellington region.

Will love to see you there giving your support, unfortunately I cant condone anything illegal and even tho I don't speak for the organisers and am not one myself im sure they don't either.

I will be happy to set you up with a 250 if we can, sounds like you are a competent rider so im sure we won't have any trouble :-)

Thanks so much, this is very generous.

Will a trike be ok for you to ride on also?

[FatHead]

I have a spare seat on my GTR1k for a slimmer passenger (my ass is big just like my head so space is limited in front of top box). Coming in from Kapiti so can pick up somewhere on SH1 between Waikanae and Papakowhai.

And there could be one on a GTR1.4k from Palmy. Got my leave approved today. Think I have loaned my Honda out...

[Pedrostt500]

Thanks Pedrostt500, what bike will you be lending out and what bike has the spare pillion?

The Pillion will be on the DR 650, I may have a Honda XL 500 S but it needs re-VIN and WOF & REG, so at the moment only the Pillion on The DR 650. I will advise on the second bike if it is available, though would require a Full licence and Exsperience with large Trail / Adventure Bikes.

[wynw]

ive a spare seat(suits petite) on my gixxer if needed, leaving Whangarei Sunday arvo at this stage.

[PhantasmNZ]

Thought I wan't going to be able to make it due to commitments on other days - but I've just booked flights to arrive @ WGTN airport @ 10:30 (got to be back there for a 4:30 back to AKL)

Just wondering if there's still anyone with bike/pillion space and where I'd have to get to. (I'm a full license holder obviously & I could taxi to a location)

If not where's the best place to join the protest on foot?

Hope you can find a bike and/or seat!

If not, go straight to parliament and meet everyone there. Would be great to have some early birds to help with set-up - Ms Piggy will be taking photos as the group arrives, you could distribute Action Packs! :woohoo:

Hey DogsnBikes - sorry to hear 'bout the medical stand down

That could be a goer as long as timing allows - about 30 mins or so to the city from the airport by cab - whats the arrangement getting access etc? Do you know how long to get to one of the two meeting points? Should be doable I think by 11:30?

Would really appreciate the opportunity to ride in if I can fit it all in - would be an honour to take one of your machines out there (750 preference - but I'm not too choosy). The terminal is pretty close to the beehive as I remember which should mean it's pretty straightforward getting it back there - as long as there is somewhere to leave it etc. I expect to be leaving the city centre not too much later than 2:30-3:00ish to make sure I make the plane home.

(I'm assuming they'll let me take my lid as carry on... never tried to fit one in a luggage locker :) )

Let me know what size you are as I have med size HJC and shark RSI if they fit save you carrying your helmet maybe able to sort out bike gear if your a well built bloke like myself

Sweet, looks like you guys have it sorted, I have put the match up on the main page and thanks for your kindness dogsnbikes.

If we cant find you anything better than the mighty volty you are most welcome to share my Triumph as long as you don't mind having me on the back for half the journey, it will make it an easier trip imo.

[sunhuntin]

(I'm assuming they'll let me take my lid as carry on... never tried to fit one in a luggage locker :) )

you shouldnt have a problem, depending on the plane. ive taken a small plane from wanganui to auckland with my helmet. there werent any overhead lockers, so the bag went down by my feet. no worries at all.

[dogsnbikes]

I will be flying into Wellington as well, so I need a spare bike or pillion too. Cheers.

If you think you can handle the power of a single you can use my 250 now your be herd before you are seen:shutup:new mufflers..are you on the same flight as PhantasmNZ

oh Access wont be a problem If Im of work that day I will meet you there if not I will arrange for you too pick up the key and bike etc 20 minutes should give you plenty of time maybe if there is a fellow KB'er out by the Airport they can show you where to go...

Look like we're on then :) Not sure how I'll ever be able to repay the favour - but I'll ride safe and look after your bike and ride it valiantly towards the Beehive!

I am printing transfer labels for hi-vis vests (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=1129489649#post1129489649)at the minute for the cause - would you like a hi-vis vest with the "Easy Target" graphics (or anything you want really?)

My plan is to bring my gear (I'll ride to the airport) - but I'll just do a double check I can take my lid on board - no chance in hell would I leave it with a baggage mishandler.

Thanks again, I'll PM all my details to you in case you want to get in touch (although PMs from here go to my blackberry anyway :) )

[dogsnbikes]

No need too repay just pass it on.....

[Hawkeye]

I have a spare CB500S (see profile pic) which can take rider and pillion. Legal riders only and taking pillion only if experienced in same (rider not pillion).

Prefer to have an out of towner who wants to come but cant get a bike to Wellington. May even have a bed available for the Mon night if they want to fly in the night before. (Bed to be confirmed).

Edit - Bed confirmed (possibly 2) and I also have a couch and floor space.

Anyone picking up a bike on the Tues morn but arriving Monday?
Possibility of doing the pickups Monday night to save time on the Tuesday morning and bring the bike to my place. (owner agreement obviously).
I live in the suburbs 15mins from Welly. Quiet street and have off road parking and space for one more bike in the garage.

Maybe worth seeing if we can organise group airport pickups as pillions by the Wellington crowd. I'm quite happy to meet someone off the plane and pillion them to wherever. Only problem is I'm acting as one of the marshals so late Tues morn pickup is no good for me.

Does 10:30 count as late? ;)

[Hawkeye]

Does 10:30 count as late? ;)

Unfortunately yes (unless your talking PM Monday). I will already be at Parliment by 10:30am Tues. The police are expecting the Marshals to be ready by about 9:30 to help with the in flux of riders that will come in ahead of the main pack. Some folks aren't comfortable riding with 4-5000 others. (I don't know why :gob:).

Any volunteers for this?

[FatHead]

Any volunteers for this?

Since I dont have an assigned passenger I can do a pickup run to the airport if someone tells me where to be when. Not too early though I am over an hour from the airport on Kapiti coast. PM me with details.

Oh and Petite/Slim pillions need only apply as previously stated mine is the large ass.:woohoo:

[jimt]

Hi. I have a bit of difficulty finding my way in this forum/site. I am leaving Warkworth from the ambulance station on SH 1 when the group from up north arrive, eta, 5.45 am. I ride a Virago XV 1100. I have accom booked in Palmy. Room for a pillion, as stated by others, no safety gear, no ride. No Cost involved as if I could I would burn the ACC building down.(Guy Fawkes). You can ring me if it suits, 0272448887. Cheers. ( I have ridden over 53,000 km's on this bike,often with a pillion.)

Will have to withdraw the CB250 went into shed this morning and he had pissed all his petrol over the floor:angry: and there is no way I'm going to be able to sort/find the problem before I head away tomorrow

Cheers Barry

[DMCD]

Done, thanks for the heads up.

[PhantasmNZ]

Slight modification of the plan - I've decided my time is too narrow to ride... do Dog's CBX750 is now up for grabs again. I will however undertake if I can to get it out of storage and into the protest somehow - every bike counts right! (and it'd be a crying shame for a boke 5 mins walk from parliament to miss out ! )

I'm gonna help out the guys marshalling the event - I think my time will be better spent there...

[Flip]

Ive got a spare seat on the back of my road king for the Wellington protest if any one is interested. It's a propper big 2 up touring seat. I'm staying in the CBD monday night.

PM me.

[motnick]

I have a spare seat on my GSX 1200 tourer, leaving Palmy North (the square) in the morning.
