:woohoo: I am there at 30 seconds on the white Harley and the pink mohawk on a black helmet!!!!!!!!

[hellokitty]

Was a great day today, all different types of people coming together for a good cause - shame there was one group whose attitude spoiled it.
Loved the big tough guys buying the pink t-shirts :love: always the scary looking ones that are so friendly and approachable.

[Motorcycle Recovery]

What a great day, yet again well organised and lots of supporters despite the weather!:woohoo:
It was great to see such a range of bikes and from the recovery side we were a little bit busier this year but only five bikes reporting problems to me and of those only two required a lift home :facepalm:
Thanks for the invitation to attend again, we always have lots of fun on these charity rides.
See y'all again next year!

:facepalm: Thanks Kevin for the moral support at the begining of the ride... (white Harley that had no spark) It did the same thing later when I wanted to go home! :shit: Thanks to Fat Max and Caseye (and Dave) for getting me going again!

haha no worries, thats what I'm here for :innocent: Let me know if you need a hand to get her in to be looked at, looks like the weather this week is going to turn nasty on us.

A few pictures are now up on the KiwiRider website (http://kiwiridermagazine.blogspot.com/2011/10/pink-ribbon-ride-2011.html)

Told ya chicky, don't focus on those few but rather the hundreds of others who turned out to make the day a success once again :)

I didn't realise just how bright my hair was until I saw photos with the WIMA hi-viz vests in the background!



Fantastic day once again, found myself wishing my Nan was still mobile enough to join the survivors who rode as pillion, sadly I think even a cruiser would be too difficult for her now, even if she does still joke about nicking my R6 for a ride!

[Blackbird]

Loved every minute of it and a fantastic cause. I came round from Coromandel to help marshalling with the Institute of Advanced Motorists. I'm second from the left with the fetching pink hi-viz to go with the silver and black leathers :facepalm:

Would love to come again next year - what a blast!

Roger Fleming has some great pictures on his blog: http://rogerfleming-raftnn.blogspot.com/2011/10/pink-ribbon-ride.html

[MadDuck]

It as a fantastic day thats for sure.

Its always great to see everyone dressing in Pink and getting into the spirit of it and werent the crowd on Quay Street just awesome?

[hellokitty]

Great pictures - Roger Fleming!
That is my bike in the third photo with the pink butterfly on the sissy bar of my Harley, and that is me in the pink jacket in photo 11 :yes:
A great day and a great cause! Proud to be a WIMA chick!

[Fatt Max]

A brilliant event, had a great time with great people all for a great cause.

Good onya WIMA and your supporters for organising the event and good on all the riders who turned out on the day.

Proud to have been there, thanks all:woohoo::woohoo:
