"if it ain't already made... Make it :)"

[200BUSA]

[200BUSA]

just a run out to Leeston,two routes-one for big bikes and one for smaller bikes and scooters.

[.produKt]

Fuck me! sounds good, i love it out in Leeston...
Where does the run start tho? there a website with details or anythin?

[Transalper]

yes its on tues at 1pm meet at st johns as usual.

Cheers, i haven't attended for a couple of years so i might just get back into it again this time.

.produKt, it's a charity ride with (if memory serves) proceeds from donation/raffal tickets, badge sales, whatever going to the St Johns Ambulance service.
Last time i went the was quite a large convoy of bikes.

[.produKt]

But now i have a problem.
Go to akaroa?
or
Goto leeston, a loveley place i used to live and help out a good cause -_-
me thinks we should change the cruise from akaroa to going to leeston, or both! ^^

[200BUSA]

That be Winchcombe Street where it turns into the South City Carpark.

[Bren_chch]

Sounds good!

[Rashika]

I might try and make it, haven't been for a few years either.
Cant believe most of you dont know about it?? Was always a pretty good turnout, like some of the other fundraising runs. I guess they don't them so much any more? Xmas toy run, easter run?

[repsol]

Sounds good to me
Got some friends out leeston i could call in on too.

[TygerTung]

Sounds very official, will they be checking wof and rego's?

[Transalper]

Sounds very official, will they be checking wof and rego's?
Not likely. But then you never know, we might go past some cop who manages to pick you out of the maybe 60 to 80 (i don't know how many, usually more than 30 i guess) bikes and pull you over to check.

You know if you are in an accident with no REG or WOF you'll not be covered by insurance and get a ticket even if not your fault. :nono: Then again you proberbly have no insurance either i guess.

If you want to ride in a large group then come along, you'll love it.

I might have to start a new Thread for it.... here's a flyer anyway

[.produKt]

Will it be OK for me to invite some of me buddys along that aren't Kiwibiker members ? (they dont have a pc)...
I just thought the more the merrier :D
So it'll be me on me zxr250, a chick on her Suzuki balius something something, and her partner on a bmw something something. heh im bad with model names n stuff =\

These charity rides are for everyone. The Ambulance Run and Cholmondeley Run are not arranged by Kiwibiker so that has no berring on who can or can-not attend them.

The adverts on the flyers and in the newspapers say ALL Motorcyclists invited.

[Rashika]

yup, always a good variety of people on these runs.
And they are usually well organised, but dont expect a speed thrill, its more for raising money for good causes and getting the public outa the idea that we are all a pack of arsehole bikers... good PR :msn-wink:

[Sniper]

Working again.

[.produKt]

Aww :( poor snipey. Next time eh? And besides, we can all go for a cruise anytime.
Just thought id ask about bringing peeps along as its my first 'organised' event that i've attended :)
And wheres the flyer?

[.produKt]

Ahhh well, she dont look like shes gonna go................cap'n :D

Rain forecast thru till thursday, and its been raining most of the day around town where i live *sob*

[Transalper]

And wheres the flyer?

Post numbers 1 and 15 have all the info quoted from Saturdays newspaper including the words :mega: "All Motorcyclists" twice.

It's not raining as i type this so hopefully by lunch time it'll only be patchy showers at the worst with a nice fine interval to ride in.
Remember it's for a good cause,
So see you there.:yeah:

[.produKt]

I see.
'xcuse me for getting slack, lazy and stuff.

At home I make as little effort as possible :) Saving all that energy and commitment to get over my chickenstrips syndrome :no: :confused: :oi-grr:



C H I C K E N S T R I P S! Mmmmm

Oh god! O H G O D!!! GET EM OFF GET EM O F F !



:eek:*Chuckle*:D

ps i actually have a gravel driveway.... so me chickenstrips are stone ridden white on the edges :(

[Smokin]

LOL, A ZXR with whitewall tyres :eek:

[Transalper]

lol.... last time i had a bike with no 'chickenstrips' as you lot are calling them, it was unridable.
Wearing them off leaves no room for error, and i made one.:doh: and hurt someone:( then got in some trouble over it:Police:

[200BUSA]

since its for a good cause i hope there is a good turn out,even with the rain-i will see you there.

[laRIKin]

We that is SDU and I will be there on our trail'es. (DR650 & KTM 640)
And we have new Knobbly's on, so its going to be fun as well.
So do not follow SDU to close as she likes to lock up the rear wheel on some down shift's on these new tires.

Will be going to the 1-pm ride, so see you there.

[Transalper]

Well people, you get a second chance.
The run will be held on the 14th May in hope of a better turnout under better conditions.
(Same place, same time)

This is good i think, as my gear seems to let in more water when standing around in the wet than when i jump straight on the bike and go go go

[Rashika]

Phew...I was feeling guilty for lazing in front of the warm fire and watching the rain...maybe try the NEXT one! ;)

[Sniper]

I can come this time round. (If the license is still with me :pinch: )

[laRIKin]

Well we went we saw paid some money and got the badge.
And when for a wet ride to Hororata via back roads for a pie and pint, well 4 of us did anyway.
And my new jacket leaks and so does SDUer's and so do her pants.
Miracle new fibres? Bull shit.
At least they were warm to wear.

[JWALKER]

14th may. yeah im definatly in

[Rashika]

So whos up for the run this time? :cool:

[JWALKER]

yeah, i will probably be in, if i dont head over to greymouth or i could ride with yous and then leave from there, i feel a plan starting to form, lol

[Transalper]

I plain to be there again.

[laRIKin]

I here it's going to rain. :Pokey: :corn:

I had to say it.

Properly not this time. BTDT and it's mothers day.

[Rashika]

I here it's going to rain. :Pokey: :corn:

[Ham]

[Oakie]

Mrs Oakie and I may well come and play too if the weather's not too bad.

[dangerous]

Mrs Oakie and I may well come and play too if the weather's not too bad.
I'll believe it when I see's ya, still reckon you are a urban myth, one day Mr O one day :scooter:

[Rashika]

will wait and see re the weather... I mean it is so unpredictable here at times that you just dont know wwhat will happen.
All that shit we had yesterday was forcast for thurs originally and today is absolutely superb weather...tomorrow? well wiat and see :yes: :rockon: fingers crossed

[Oakie]

I'll believe it when I see's ya, still reckon you are a urban myth, one day Mr O one day :scooter:

An 'Urban Myth'? Well I suppose if I can't be a 'Legend' I'll settle for being an 'Urban Myth'. (Thinks ... 'Urban Myth' might look cool on my user profile. Trouble is that to mantain the myth thing I'd have to make sure none of you guys ever met me.)

[200BUSA]

rain again- well i dont think it will stop so will it be postponed again?:no:

[Transalper]

rain again- well i dont think it will stop so will it be postponed again?:no:

Just phoned the orginiser..... IT IS ON RAIN HAIL SNOW OR SUNSHINE this time.
No more delays this year.

I'm not going this time as already bought the badge on Anzac day.

[200BUSA]

i wont be there - to wet,slippery roads,better staying by warm fire.Must be getting soft in old age.

[Oakie]

Well the rain put me off (as well as being a little tired from watching the FA Cup to 5 a.m.). To assuage my guilt for being a softy I'll pop $10 in the next St Johns donation box I see.

[Transalper]

so Oakie remains an Urban Myth for another day.
