[hellokitty]

Plant Barn kinda area in Silverdale would work aye.

Yeah or we could lurk in the gas station up the road and join in at the end of the line... that would work if they were using the old roads rather than the new motorway.

That is the one at the top of the hill on the left heading south before the Silverdale industrial area???

[Mom]

Yeah at the top of the hill, we use that quite often to meet up with people coming off the coast. Plus it keeps us off the stupid toll road.

[Lucyloo]

Thank you to everyone who has said that they will be attending.
We are hoping for the biggest turn out ever this year!

If there is anyone who doesn't/can't ride but would still like to be involved on the day we have plenty of job vacancies that need filling. If you think you can cook a sausage, sell some badges, help with some parking or be a pedestrian crossing marshall we would love to hear from you.

Just let me know.


Cheers

[hellokitty]

:yes: my first big ride and I was nervous!!!!! I got to meet some fellow KBers - Nutbar, LucyLoo, Mom and Maha of course. Plus some whose names I forgot - dammit I suck at remembering names! Who is the German MAG-NZ guy? I thumped him for dissing Hondas. Funny how a few people figured out who I was :woohoo:
Was an awesome day with lots of money raised - yay to WIMA - we rock!! :love:

His online name is Bodir, we think it means cabbage in German...
But yeah, fanatstic turn out...about 540 bikes/$18,000 odd raised this year.
All the lights fazed green the whole way, awesome job by the Police.
Traffic duties went well, car people weren't bothered at all at my point.
Had to direct a few of them as well.
And whats with that REPSOL HONDA fulla, I motioned for him to turn right but did he take any notice? nooooooo:corn:

[MadDuck]

.... awesome job by the Police.

Sure was! And to the WIMA team well done! Great day and a great way to raise awareness of such an awful ailment.

I look forward to next year...it was kind of cool blocking the traffic (under police supervision of course)

Wasn't it a fantastic day? I am so knackered :yes: My personal thanks has to go to the Police for today. Not only did they stop traffic and facilitate the ride, most of them were busy when I was attempting to catch the ride :dodge: Fantastic effort WIMA! You all should be very proud of yourselves, and no doubt you will sleep well tonight.

Bring it on for next year!

I love to do that to disrespectful drivers, I love the look on thier face which tells they just did a little tiny bit of pee in their pants.
