Fat Bikers Motorcycle Club - 'Smurfs Up' Blue September Fundraiser

[Fatt Max]

'Smurfs Up' Blue September Fundraiser

....and why not....

As part of the Blue September prostate cancer appeal, the Fat Bikers Motorcycle Club invite you all to join them for a jolly nice day out on the wild west coast.

Yes indeed my lovelies, a relaxed pootle to Raglan followed by a feed at the Raglan Hotel rounding off with the 'Blue Bits' fundraising auction.

Auckland riders will depart from BP Papakura and then stop off to collect other riders along the way.

So, the deal is:

When: Sunday 18th September 2011

Time: Auckland riders meet at BP Papakura (Autobahn for you fancy european people) at 9.30am for a 10.00am start. Ride straight down the good old SH1 where we will stop off at the BP Ngaruawahia to collect anyone else before we head through to Raglan. ETA at Ngaruawahia is 11.00am.

Food: Arrive at approx 12 noon at the Raglan Hotel for a feed and a chin wag

Then: Bring something blue for the 'Blue Bits' Auction, all proceeds raised to go to the Blue September Prostate cancer Appeal.

There will also be official Blue September Appeal wristbands for sale as well as free blue facepaint, just incase anyone feels like giving it the big Braveheart look.

This ride has been recognised by the Blue September Appeal as an official fundraising event so come along and enjoy the ride. Check out the events section here:

The idea is also for every rider to wear something blue as well, just to round it of nicely.

Right O, thats the idea, hope you can make it

I will try and find something blue to wear too!

[crystalball]

Can I add my bike to the weight limit requirements?

[DEVVIL]

Blue pies:eek5: I'm in.

[MadDuck]

Blue pies:eek5: I'm in.

Well if there's blue pies I most certainly will be attending

[mrmeal]

Just to clarify the specs of any said Blue pie for some (Madduck)... Pastry surrounds the filling to qualify for it to be a pie, other wise it is just mince, or steak on a plate :)

lol bring on the blue bits. I'm in and will be in the non leathers (blue) for this one. lets have a gas ball of fun team!

[MadDuck]

Pastry surrounds the filling to qualify

Blah! Pastry is over rated as far as I am concerned :pinch:

Sacrilege!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go stand in the naughty corner!

[Fatt Max]

Well, to be fair to MD, she does stand by her word.

Here is a person who was tasked with buying a sausage roll and came back with only the saiusage.

Still. cannot believe a founder member of the FBMC would allow herself to be quoted by saying 'Pastry Is Over Rated'. It's a bit like saying 'Pies Are The Devil's Poop'

We can only hope that the error of her ways is seen in good time....:gob:

Remember guys, early detection is the key...ie a simple blood test. My partner has just had Brachiotherapy (radioactive implants in prostate) after two small areas of cancer were found (10 & 42%). Fortunately no other cancer has been found and his prognosis is likely a full recovery.

[MadDuck]

Go stand in the naughty corner!

ok. I have learnt not to say such bad things again.

At least I remembered the sausage!

Damn, can't expand it to read it, I just get a big blank white screen when I 'click to read' it.

I wonder why?

But I will see you there as long as my bike is sorted on sat, I will most likely meet you at Ngaruawahia (sp?)

[Lucyloo]

Well, the ‘Smurfs Up’ ride is shaping up to be a beauty. The Blue September charity have been in touch and supplied us with all sorts of goodies for the run such as face paint, wrist bands, tattoos etc.

These will all be available once we get to the venue.

I also have a very limited amount of official Blue September campaign T shirts which will fit over your bike jackets to wear on the ride down.

Jeff at the Harbour View hotel has flicked me copies of the menus they will be running on the day, you can find them here (http://www.fatbikersmc.co.nz/blog/)

Don’t forget to bring something along for the auction. It has to be either something blue or bike related. Either way lets see if we can raise a few bucks for this worthy cause.

Also, it would be great to get as much blue decoration on our bikes as possible. The Blue September people tell me there will be an official photographer in Raglan on the day so it would make a great piccie.

That’s all from me. Take care of yourselves and I look forward to seeing you on the 18th. This run will happen rain or shine , ooohh, might get to see some of you in waterproofs….ooohh….

Missing you already….

[wysper]

I might be able to add a few riders to your list Max.
If it all goes to plan we will meet you in NGA at 11am.

Hopefully wearing blue and with a few things to contribute to the auction.

Of course the real reason will be for a decent feed in Raggers!!

[Fatt Max]

Cool mate, shall see you then and thanks for taking part

[ynot slow]

Will see how the planets line and may get there,be trying hardest to,be leaving from the Naki heading up via Mokau and Awakino to enjoy the coast,just got to suss out bed on Sunday close to base,maybe Taupo.

Owing to other commitments in the City of the Great Auck this afternoon, I was unable to get to Raglan at the required time...

HOWSUMEVER, I did venture over the hill earlier in the day - in the pissisting rain I might add - just on the offchance that some other dweeble like myself had gone early. Not to be, sadly - although there was one other bike on the street. Obviously I am not alone in my insanity.

Had coffee, went home. Tough luck about the event but them's the breaks.

Hope it was a roaring success FM and that many pies were consumed. Ride safe all.

[Fatt Max]

Well, it was a great event. Thanks to all you kind souls who turned out today. The weather was not the best on the way down but Raglan itself turned on the sun for us.

Great effort on the auction as well, all up a briliant day out raising money for a good cause.

The Blue September people even made a little video of us as well, check it out here:

[caseye]

Well done you lot, heres me had to sit at home looking at an otherwise mobile coal burner, waiting on a bit of bloody plastic to cover up the rear end of the tank. Still, do it once do it right I say.
Glad it went off despite the weather and good to see so many out there. Who was that Mad Blue haired(long haired at that) woman???
Did I forget to mention sexy as, svelte and luscious woman???
Go team.

[MadDuck]

Nice day out, good food.

Great to see you two today

Missed you today my friend. I am looking forward to seeing the bike finished and on the road with us.

[slofox]

Well done that man. (FM). Great effort.

Was a fun day & thankfully a dry ride home!
