17th Annual Easter Egg & Toy Run, Sunday 1 April

[shafty]

Easter Egg and Toy Run
Tauranga, Sunday 1 April 2007

Once again this year, the Tauranga branch of the Ulysses Motorcycle Club are organising the Easter Egg and Toy Run, to be held this year on Sunday 1st April. ALL bikers are very welcome, and it would be especially cool if a whole bunch of fellow KBers could join us.

The route is the same as last year, i.e.
Bayfair Shopping Centre > Girven Road > Oceanbeach Rd > Marine Parade > Adams Ave > The Mall > Salisbury Ave > Maunganui Road > SH2 (at Bay Park) > SH 29 > Barkes Corner > Cameron Rd (re group opp District Council Offices) > Hospital

Assemble from 9.00am, departure at 12 noon. 525 bikes last year - a good cause and a GREAT ride!

Queries? PM Shafty or e-mail pete@funbus.co.nz

[crashe]

Cheers for the info.......

For those not in the Tauranga area...... just how long is the actual fundraiser ride?

Are there badges available etc... and what cost?


How come meet up at 9am and not leave on the ride for another 3 hours?
That seems a long time to hang around...... just asking...... not picking...

[shafty]

Hi Crashe, good questions: The ride takes you from BAyfair on a circuit of Mount Manganui, then over to Tauranga on the inland route (ie, not the Bridge). Then via Greerton to Hospital. Takes about 45 minutes due to the huge number of bikes. It's a cool ride with Highway Patrol and Club MArshalls stopping traffic for you as the parade passes.

Bikes trickle in from 9am, - many park up, wander off for breakfast (Bayfair has many food options, toilets, shopping) then wander back to enjoy the 500 + bikes assemble - quite a carnival atmosphere. A good time to catch up with riding mates and to meet new ones!

I hope this clarifies. See you there?

[MidnightMike]

Im keen for that, see you there! :scooter:

[Cajun]

You guys looking for marshalls?

[BUNGY]

Should be good, used to watch it go by my house but just a couple of questions. Does every one actually take an easter egg ect on their bike and if so do we need to supply.

[MidnightMike]

Hey what happened to my post?

:edit: That was on the other thread, doh

Cheers for clarifying that up for me.

I will know closer to the time if I can make it down......

Hi Bungy Mungy, - the idea is to bring an EAster Egg or toy for us to deliver to the Kids in hospital. You can buy a cheapie at Bayfair on the day to donate, - there is no judgement on what you donate.

Hope we see you there!

[Quartermile]

Sounds good, how many KB's do you expect to be there?

[shafty]

Dunno Quatermile, - but lets hope HEAPS. We have more than our fair share around here, and what a great place to ride to!

Tell ya mates!

[Quartermile]

Yep will do

[Moko Potaka]

Hopefully the powers that reside within the :sunny: Whakatane area will organise our support for this,if not i will put it forward at our next meeting.ill definately be there hopefully with a couple or more ulyssians in tow.:scooter: :scooter: :scooter: :scooter: :scooter: :scooter:

[Highlander]

Yep, I'm rostered off that day and thinking about joining you.

[shafty]

Good one Highlander, see you there. The run ends up at the lower Hospital car park BTW. You don't need to know where to go though, just stay with the other 600 + bikes and you'll be right.

After the event (and not part thereof) a drink may be in order.

If it is, I'm told the Worlds End, Fraser Cove is very handy.........

[Highlander]

Ample parking at the worlds end too - not a lot of foot path to park on though.

[mark247]

Sounds awesome! See you guys there. Bayfair is a good place to meet, although i do have unfinished business with the roundabout there, got knocked off last week on it. Worlds End is a good place to finish to, heaps of parking, pool tables, OH and Burger King opposite :rockon:

[Highlander]

Being a newby at these events, what is the norm in the way of eggs? ie one each or bags of?
My Daughter is dead keen on this - normally she will come for a ride with me just to humour the old man, but she is keen on delivering eggs to the sick kids.

[shafty]

Gidday Highlander, - whatever you decide Mate, there's no snobbery or expectation, anything given is really apprecaited. I usually buy 1 decent size one, less than 10 bucks certainly. Come up and say gidday on the day, - I'll be there early, Red ST with a RIDER seat, parked up the front somewhere, and will be marshalling in a flouro vest.

[Highlander]

So is that the "Fun Bus" in your profile pic...? :laugh: :lol: :rofl:

[shafty]

Some nights, with 30 liquored "Ladies" onboard, one would think so!!

[Highlander]

I see in last nights Bay Times (22/03/07) the hospital folks would rather see toys and books than chocolate.
Might have to Warehouse a couple of teddy bears or something.

[MidnightMike]

Biker teddy bears :Punk:

[Matt_TG]

As a new KB member I'll be there on my aging CX500, with my 10 year old on the back and a teddy bear attached somewhere on the bike... :sunny:

[Highlander]

Hey Mat, welcome to KB.
I'll have my 15 year old with me - she is quite looking forward to it.

[shafty]

I see in last nights Bay Times (22/03/07) the hospital folks would rather see toys and books than chocolate.

Yeah, last year the Hospital said they'd like cash instead of Easter Eggs. That didn't appeal. So, as a concession, we're calling it the Easter Egg and Toy Run, so people have a choice.

[shafty]

Viva the Mighty CX - lots of Cred there!!

[MotoGirl]

It amazes me what some folks will donate - there were the most beautiful soft bunny toys there last year (I wanted one!). I also got the pleasure of handing out some of the toys and easter eggs last year and it was very fulfilling. It's all about who you know :Punk:

On the books vs chocolate vs toys thing - this flexibility is a great idea. Some of the kids/patients might be nil by mouth or they can't eat truckloads of chocolate :sunny: I've bought many little easter eggs because the smaller kids can't get through the big ones.

As per usual I'm going to be there giving everyone a bit of shit (and posing with the RSV) so I hope to see you all there! It would be coooooooool for KB to make an appearance and support the community. :rockon:

[Highlander]

... I also got the pleasure of handing out some of the toys and easter eggs last year and it was very fulfilling. It's all about who you know :Punk:

Who do I have to know then? My Daughter would be in to that in a big way if she got half a chance.

[Quartermile]

Yea would be good to see some fellow KBs there probably won't recognise anyone you guys going to the worlds end afterwards?

[MotoGirl]

Who do I have to know then? My Daughter would be in to that in a big way if she got half a chance.
Talk to Shafty, he may be able to organise something :yes:

Edit: This is the scene from last year's run.

OH SHIT YEA!!:Punk:

Are you gonna go in this Quartermile?

[MotoGirl]

Are you gonna go in this Quartermile?
I know of at least four Tauranga Kiwibikers who are going.

[shafty]

Yeah - you can easily double that # too!

We expect to exceed the 525 bikes there last year.

The Bay Times are sending a Reporter, and I've told them the best place for photo opportunities etc - eg, on the Barkes Corner pedestrian overbridge.........should be a GOODIE!!!!

[Quartermile]

Are you gonna go in this Quartermile?
Yea mate I'll be there as well as Midnightmike and Bungymungy

[MidnightMike]

Yea mate I'll be there as well as Midnightmike and Bungymungy

We sure will. :scooter:

Did anyone read in the paper where they said that anyone with a motorcycle or a Scooter??? is welcome.

Would the scooters keep up in the 100k zones? :shutup:

[MotoGirl]

Would the scooters keep up in the 100k zones? :shutup:
They don't necessarily do 100 in the 100km zone. Remembering that half of the ride is to pose, so people need to see the bikes. No hooning for you! :innocent:

I think they've got better in recent years and go a bit faster. At the run about five years ago, the cop at the front was doing 30 in the 100 zone (30, fark that!!!). My VTR reached over 100 degrees and the cooling fans were blasting :doh:

[Matt_TG]

The speed on the motorway part to Barkes Corner will probably be pretty sedate (well it was the last run I did, just checked my badge it was 1997:shit: ), the scooters can slipstream behind the Goldwings ...

[MidnightMike]

The scooters can slipstream behind the Goldwings ...


All 500 bikes can slipstream behind the goldwings :rofl:

[Quartermile]

The goldwings could barely keep up

[MidnightMike]

The goldwings could barely keep up


godd point, what will they do when we come to a corner? :dodge:

[Quartermile]

godd point, what will they do when we come to a corner? :dodge:
Dunno ask Bungy he's got a Honda doesn't he:killingme

[Matt_TG]

All 500 bikes can slipstream behind the goldwings :rofl:

My rustbucket has the aerodynamics of a hummer. It creates enough backdraft that courier vans use me to save petrol :innocent:

Heh, seriously, I'm going to have to somehow find you guys and say gidday!

[Quartermile]

Yea would it be possible to make a KB parking area at bayfair?

Make sur you show up th the worlds end at fraser cover afterwards:yes:

[shafty]

A couple more pics showing how the car park starts out and how it fills up! A seperate area for KB'ers is a good idea, but easier said than done, depending on what time you arrive. If you want to park together, park at the Girven Road end of the carpark, next to where you see us directing the Trikes to gather. Remember this is a badge run, with badges available for $10 proceeds to the TECT Rescue Helicopter ( which occaisionally picks up fallen Bikers!) - and a lucky badge draw with a helmet and other prizes drawn just before the "start your engines" message, plus any donation of Easter Eggs or toys going to hospitalised kiddies.

[MotoGirl]

Yea would it be possible to make a KB parking area at bayfair?
Not really, you'd need to get there early to choose your spot. If you're a latecomer you have to park wherever your bike will fit :bleh:
All KBs could meet inside Bayfair at a certain spot and time?

Yea starting to sound like a plan what time does the ride start?

[MotoGirl]

Yea starting to sound like a plan what time does the ride start?
I believe it leaves Bayfair at midday. Shafty can you confirm? I can't be arsed asking macdaddy :zzzz:

[Quartermile]

Yea wheres somewhere good to meet say 11 or an hour or so before it starts?

[MotoGirl]

Yea wheres somewhere good to meet say 11 or an hour or so before it starts?
Hmm, they draw prizes before the run leaves at 12. You could meet at a coffee place like Robert Harris (or similar) so at least you can sit outside and watch the action.

[Cajun]

Yea starting to sound like a plan what time does the ride start?

Mike knows what i look like, and little hard to miss my bright yellow beast, parked next to the white rsvr.

I normally have a yellow leather jacket on also.

Our bikes are normally at the very front of the pack.(since we often help with road marshelling)

[shafty]

Yes Guys, the run is started by Tauranga's Mayor at 12 Noon; People start arriving from 9.00am. How about me supplying a yellow balloon for every KB'er who turns up to tie on their bike? - that would give a good visual of how many KB'ers there are among the group.

Let me know what you think. If the consensus is YES, I will have a Marshall at the entrance to the bike area with balloons and string. You could even take a marker pen and write your KB name on it! (You'll have to do your own inflating!!)

[Quartermile]

Yea that could be a plan.......:D

That sounds like a damn good idea :rockon:

[DMNTD]

We'll be there with another 4 KBers so look out for my flamed ZX10R, grey/silver RSVR, copper Hyabusa and blue Triumph Thingy-m'Jig :yes:
Will try and get the around 10ish too :scooter:

[mark247]

I'll be there too on the all-mighty GB400. I hope to see another GB, the only one i have ever seen in my life is my one. lol.

[MotoGirl]

Cajun and I will be there early no doubt, probably 9.00 - 9.30ish.

Cool *learns a new feature of KB*
I'm now "attending" :rockon:

[MidnightMike]

Hes the little banana man, easy to spot. :dodge:

Haha, yeah im keen for the balloon idea,

Ill be on the mighty twin, look out for me, im a big prick so i'll stand out. :shit:

[MotoGirl]

Ill be on the mighty twin, look out for me, im a big prick so i'll stand out. :shit: Cool, someone for me to overheat with :rockon:

[shafty]

Don't forget the Easter Egg Run this Sunday from BAyfair Shopping Centre at The Mount.I reckon the YELLOW BALLOON idea is a goer, so as any KB'ers arrive, ask the Marshall (Flouro vest) for a balloon, blow it up and tie it to your bike, - string provided!

We're HOPING for a Helicopter fly over by the Rescue Chopper taking some pics of us before we leave!!

Lets spread the word Guys and Gals and get a good bunch of KB'ers to fly the flag!! (or balloon)

[Quartermile]

Yea I might park outside Rober Harris, if were meeting there at 11 or whatever

[shafty]

Yea I might park outside Rober Harris, if were meeting there at 11 or whatever

Sounds like a good idea 1/4, but we'll be exiting thru there and have provided dedicated parking for the expected 600 bikes on the Maunganui Rd side of the front car park, safe from cages keen to knock over your precious scoot!
As the bikes take half of the carparking area up, spare parks are at a premium also.

It'll be "clear as" when you arrive. It'll be good to see you there! :sunny:

[Quartermile]

Man this week is going to be awsome for me and this will cap it off:D

[Quartermile]

I'm guessing this is running, hail, shine, or torrential rain

[Waylander]

If I'm in town I'll be there.

Bet my bike will over heat before yours Motogirl.

[MotoGirl]

I'm guessing this is running, hail, shine, or torrential rain

They normally do, but the turnout isn't so good!

[MotoGirl]

Bet I will over heat before you Motogirl.
You only have to look at my bike to overheat. :love: Then you add me in leathers, and sheesh, you're in trouble! :Pokey:

[shafty]

The contingency is we have use of the 3rd (covered) Level of the Bayfair carpark, but thats academic - it WILL be fine.

(Moto Girl all hot and bothered....Cajun, sort her out)

Sweet, good weather, the rain would only have detered the posers anyways :dodge:

I just went out for a bit of a blat ( in the rain ) after 5 days without riding ( a record for me lol ) so im amped up.

Im keen for this overheating race too :D

[Unit]

I don't need a flouro vest for when i am directing traffic my jacket, and bike is bright enough

[MotoGirl]

I think parking in the middle of the intersection makes you visible too!

[MidnightMike]

Ooh, ooh, ooh, can I be a poser? Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaase?

[Cajun]

So are you riding cajun or are you just a marshall?

I ride on the bike, but i might do a marshell roll (aka block an intersection) so no cars pull out, just depends if shafty needs any more

[Waylander]

My damn jacket is still soked through. Ohwell if it's nice I'll just T-shirt it lol.

[shafty]

Looking out the window today, I'm not believing you!

ah hem (clearing throat) - Looked out the window lately MotoGirl? :sunny:

It's goin to be a GOODIE, spoke with the Rescue Chopper Pilot on Friday, and since we've been looking after them for years, he hopes to do a "fly by" before we leave!!

Don't forget KB'ers, see the first Marshal on the way in for a yellow balloon, inflate and attach to your scoot!!

[Highlander]

Rode to work in the rain yesterday.
Is a dirty bike acceptable at these events? :bye:

Pfft, you could have made it back intime. Plus you always seem to have a sixth sense for when a ride is on.

But maybe you just didn't want Steve to embarrass you again.:innocent:

Can't be too skinny then considering the bike weighs about twice what you weigh tubby.

Anyone going to 'Worlds end' afterwards?

I'll certainly go see whats going on there.

[Matt_TG]

Probably not, depends how the young fella on the back is holding up.


... damn I cleaned the bike today, looks like I'll have to throw a bucket of shite over it before I head off tomorrow to 'fit in' :shit:

[shafty]

Anyone going to 'Worlds end' afterwards?

Cameron from Worlds End has been in touch - "club prices" for anyone on the Easter Run who turns up there - in their own time, and not associated with the run whatsoever. Use your helmet as ID!!

[MidnightMike]

Woah, that was wicked, shitloads of bikes, some damn nice ones too, good ride, cyas on the next one then :D

[Quartermile]

Woah, that was wicked, shitloads of bikes, some damn nice ones too, good ride, cyas on the next one then :D
Yea man that was kick ass:yes:

[Matt_TG]

It was a good ride, plenty of pissed off looking car drivers at most of the intersections though lol.

Our balloon flew off along Oceanbeach Road, and the temp gauge went higher than it's been before around the base of the Mount / Pilot Bay, then at the Bayfair roundabout, bit of a worry as I had taken the radiator off during the week and flushed it out ... hoping I had done up all the hose clips properly heh, all was good though!

I wonder if the 50k speed camera by Blake Park was working, not many were doing 50k's when we went past it ...

I reckon the pictures will look awesome.

:scooter:

[Quartermile]

Yea as far as I could tell mine was the only ballon that stayed on the whole time:yes:

[MidnightMike]

I reckon the pictures will look awesome.

yeop, chuck up your ones when you get a chance. :rockon:

[MotoGirl]

yeop, chuck up your ones when you get a chance. :rockon:

I'll see if I got any decent ones on my camera. I wasn't taking pictures while riding :whistle:

Here's some proof that the toys / easter eggs make it to the wards...

Who donated Ribena ??!!:shit: Those pics capture the spirit for sure!

I don't have any pics, didn't have a camera. :(

The lower hospital carpark was just right for the meeting area, much better than all trying to fit up by the Hospital as in past years :yes:

Edit: Thanks for all the organisation Pete, it was a pleasure to be a part of the occasion.

Here's some proof that the toys / easter eggs make it to the wards...

What's this I hear about today being your last time organising it? :gob: Who's going to do such a good job next year?
I was thinking about the run this morning, it must be a logistical challenge to organise.

[shafty]

Yeah, 3 years in a row is enough, The Run is in good hands! Some pics attached. Final count of bikes was 670 (we were trying to beat 525!!). Seeing the TECT Helicopter overhead as we left Bayfair was cool, - thanks a bunch to all who supported such a successful ride and a great cause.

Wow, 670 is pretty impressive :rockon:

[mark247]

I'll see if I got any decent ones on my camera. I wasn't taking pictures while riding :whistle:

I took heaps of pics, but most of them are of just motorbikes that i thought were cool. One or two overview kinda photos at Bayfair. Other than that, yeah, just cool bikes ( anything without fairings mainly lol )

EDIT; Actually no, there is only one sort of cool fairing, the bullet fairings on the old ducati

[MotoGirl]

Here are some. I didnt take any of my own bike. Im not much of a photographer. Oh well, hope someone is interested in them :scooter:

Had a bloody good time today y'all. Had never done a toy run before
Onya to all the organisers :niceone:

[Unit]

It was hard to guess how many bikes were there, but 670 thats awesome. Was a great day thanks to the organisers, and riding around town afterwards seeing all these awesome bikes out and about. It really is a well supported district when it comes to motorcycling.

[Mrs Busa Pete]

We had a bloody good day until we got stopped by :Police: and pete was made to clean his number plate with the grass because he said the rest of the bike had been clean and that he deliberatly hadn't done his number plate so as not to be detected by speed cameras. No ticket because he couldn't get him on anything.
