Yeah that pisses me off. It's okay for some gang to close down the harbour bridge for a bitch session but try and raise some money for charity and the pricks wanna charge you.

Thanks for the heads up, but bear in mind if you are a licensed rider or driver you don't need approval to use a public road in/on a registered and warranted vehicle.

Or as we like to say: Fuck 'em! Do it anyway.

We can't have your average Aucklander wait more than 20 minutes on their way to get their Sunday Latte can we? That is FAR more important that anything related to charity:crybaby:

if it was not for the local rescue chopper I could quite easily be dead. You just never know when you'll need the service eh...:scooter:

So .... funding of the other emergency services helicopters... comes from where?

Police?

Fire?

Why does the transport arm of the health system need to be privately funded (St John's, Wesrpac helicopter)? Is it just me or is there something wrong with this picture?

except that to half the NZ public we're now all like the 'Honda-phoebic' guy in the deckchair who equates goodness in a bike as being proportional to the noise it puts out ... the louder the better.
The other bikers they spoke to though put the argument across well.
Bloody media though ... 1500 helmets there and the one they chose to put on screen was the German army type job with a swastika on the front. Stereotyping anyone?
All in all though, I'd give the article 9 out of 10.
Best of all ... the run is on without red-tape next year.

It'll probably take a while before they finish processing it, just have to be patient.
Sorry about the quality, the TV1 reception isn't the best here.
