whats a badge? and whats it for?

[crashe]

A badge is so that you know what fundraiser runs you have been on....
Some people have so many on their jackets from doing so many fundraiser runs. They cast $10 usually and some of that money from the badges goes towards the fundraiser.

Does anyone know the route, if Motorway will be involved?

Motoracer - yes motorway will be involved i have done these for the past 5 years(apart from last year, and this year as well) Usual there are a bunch of hoons pulling wheel stands etc down motorway.

They normal close the motorway off for us, when you about to leave bmw MT welly, cop stops traffic coming down motorway, so you have motorway all to ourselfs, then also all green lights thru to Aotea Square(even if they arn't green we make all the cars stop, so all bikes get thru in one bunch)

pity i can't make it this year )c:<

For those we haven't read the other thread concerning the Toy Run, KBers will be meeting at Caltex on the Mt Wellington Highway (Mt Wellington side) at 9am and then riding to BMW together. See you there. :wavey:

[Cajun]

Congrats on the new house man!!
cheers dude, good and bad points, bad point is less money, but good point, out on own just me and wife, which is a good thing.

[Sycophant]

BALLS! I knew there was a reason I was meaning to get my warrant and rego up-to-date before the weekend... Bugger.

What do you reckon the chances of being picked out of a crowd of a few hundred is, for expired warrant and rego?

Many years ago at the begining of toy run a senior policeman was heard saying fairly loudly "On this ride anyone seen riding without a helmet I'll assume has a helmet excemption"

Well, I'm not stupid, just slack :) I will head off to the testing station after the run though :)

[Sycophant]

That was fun...

I didn't get ticketed for my expired rego and warrant, and I will be getting new ones later today.

What I did do however is video the ride.

I attached a lipstick camera to my right fairing and recorded the whole ride. I will maybe put it online sometime. Unfortunately the rain obscured the picture a little when raindrops hit the lens, nevermind.

np mate, with buying the new house,
Hey man, only just seen this, havn,t been on KB much lately
Good one Neal, Congrats on your new house, pm me the addy, I;ll stop in next time I,am down...

[Coldkiwi]

looked like a pretty crusty day for a ride. How was it?

[Riff Raff]

Here are the only photos I took from the ride, of our pre-ride entertainment at Caltex from a certain motorbikeless KBer, who fronted up on an alternative set of two wheels to show us the finer points of stoppies and wheelies! Sadly I didn't get the next shot in the stoppie sequence, but I'm sure you can all guess what happened next!

[Motoracer]

LOL, cheers for the pics RR!

[Firefight]

Here are the only photos I took from the ride,


yep, thats my mate :first: :shit: LOL. :2thumbsup

F/F :crazy:

[Holy Roller]

Pity the weather curtailed the majority of riders from attending There was a good pile of toys from those who attended.
Crusty was an understatement of the weather but it could have been worse. The BBQ was a bit pricey at $2 down here we pay $1 but it was for a good cause so I brought several, had to feed my young fella.

A couple of more Pixs from the run
