If its in Malborough, screw that. I'm not driving that far just to drive a short distance in a parade.

Thats the one, I'll be there:yes:

[laRIKin]

SDU and her brother Baby Bandit (on his new bike and may need a name change now) and I will be there as well.
Greenmeanie may turn up as well, well he is thinking about it as he is busy.

And Cust is North from CH.CH near Oxford and Rangiora at the top of Tram Rd.

We are doing a ride around the Gorge and are popping in to Leithfield to see SDU and B.B brother.
You could wait for us at the Pub if you want and do not want to do the family thing with us as we will not be long.

[The Lone Rider]

Anyone else with a 250 going? Jerms doesn't want to do any drives that require over 70k until he's got the license to do so, so I haven't texted him to bring along his pimped magna.

[laRIKin]

It's a fundraiser so there will be all sorts of bikes a people and there will be no speeding.

Only once we get out of town will we even look like doing over 70 and would probably never go over 100.

There will more than likely be a Leader and a Tail-end Charlie so no one will be left behind.

Come a long and ride in the pack as I'm sure no one will mind or care if your friend speeds a little anyway.

And there is some times Classic bike and they don't go like a rocket ship.
And there could be scooters of all sizes.

If the worst comes to the worst I'll stay back and ride with him there as it is a good cause.

First of these events for me. Perfect weather for it and all.
Mrs Bullet and the little ones (shrapnel) enjoyed seein all the machines, and munching down on the kiwi fav sausage.

I hear the next charity event is the chomally thing'y in a couple of weeks... I think last year I was put off this one as well due to weather. I anticipate getting to this one...though depends... Mrs' is away Friday night, and may not be home in time the following day... we shall see

[The Lone Rider]

I didnt' end up going as this thread was moved and didn't see it again until tonight. I probably wouldnt have gone anyway. Ended up running chores and baking cinnamon and bannana muffins

And Jerms wants to stick to 70 and under, so the issue wasn't speeding :P

[laRIKin]

Well I would like also say a great day for a great cause.

There best turn out for many a year (385+), well done to all those that turned up.:2thumbsup

[The Lone Rider]

Didnt see the wheel chair riders up at Cust :no: (I'm still impressed by the number of bikes)

Its a real feel good thing to give a little back. We have used the ambo a few times now, and those people are the essense of brillience and security.
Also like the air ambulance, starship, and Maca's house (spent a month at the S-Ship just over a year ago). Often it is not until you get to use or see behind the scenes......
