If you find yourself at the front of a group with no leader – Maintain this speed…you may have ‘Learner’ riders behind you.
Don’t overtake and stay in the Left lane.
Take care when merging at Ngauranga & exiting on the Aotea Off Ramp.
Give yourself room in front – if you rear-end someone…it’s your fault!
Where appropriate, ride in a staggered formation.
The media is watching us:
They want to see us come off.
They want to see us do wheelies or something stupid.
Be Considerate!
DON’T do anything stupid – Help us present a United Image!!!
Illegally parked bikes will be towed!
If your bike leaks oil, please bring card or rags to place under the bike whilst at the stadium.
This first protest is a peaceful protest - please support us in this.
