Bikes needed for display (Sun 15 Feb)

[Ixion]

The Emergency Services and Volunteers people are having a public display tomorrow That's Sunday 15th Feb) . Outside the North harbour Stadium, opposite (I'm told) the Albany Centre.

They need some bikes just parked up for people to look at (but not touch). BRONZ will be putting on a riding display, but stationary bikes are needed.

Costs nothing, and you can come and go anytime from 9am to around 3pm . Partiularly wanted around midday. basically just prak up beside the big yellow trailer (and maybe answer a question or two if any are asked and you aren't shy). You don't have to stay with the bike , you can go look at all the fire engines and stuff, or just get a feed.

Anybody who can, please roll up. Big bikes, small bikes, scooters, anything with two wheels.

Harleys allowed ? and can you promise the firemen will speak to me

[Ixion]

Harleys definately allowed. I think Harleys would probably be a hot item.

Yipes dont say that too loud on KB or you may be subject to an online "stoning"

[Ixion]

The public like Harleys. If Joe Public sees the display and thinks "I always wanted a motorbike", he has a lot better chance of persuading Mrs Joe Public to go along with the idea with a Harley than a Sprotsbike. And it has the name.

[ManDownUnder]

Will probably be there. Any probs bringing a 9yo pillon?

[Ixion]

A think a 9yo pillion would be ideal. Idea is to get Joe Public thinking "Oh Hey, so motorbikes aren't just for Hells Angels. I could ride one too". So, "Hey this guy rides a motorbike and he's got a 9 year old kid, just like a normal person" is a good message. And Mrs Joe Public is reassured. Anyone with a 9 yoi kid can't actually be a child eating rapist bikie, can he?

Just rock on up.

You picking them up younger and younger....:bleh:

I will be there about midday from what I see Ixion needs numbers for. Hmm blat up 16 could be in order afterwards.

Just rock up to the big yellow trailer

At the risk of taking this off topic I will refrain from comment.

[samgab]

Hmph, how come I hadn't heard about this till I read about it on here?

I'll see if I can cruise up for a looksee. My bike will be embarrassed parked next to a lot of nice bikes, but oh well.
Hopefully the rain will be all gone.

[Ixion]

VTR250 will be good. I'd expect a few young guys (and chicks) , so they'd be keen to see what they can legally ride.

Rock on up.

[Gubb]

[samgab]

Got delayed a bit, and now it's a bit late :(
Hope it all went well!

[EatOrBeEaten]

Hope this was good, I was in town as well, if I'd known before the fact I'd have turned up...

[vagrant]

if I'd known before the fact I'd have turned up...

Likewise,
Went to the Top Gear live show, but was done in time to have made the display.

Show was good, especially 4 french nutters riding round inside a steel cage.

[MadDuck]

The big yellow trailer wasnt actually that big Ixion :laugh:

Was a good day out. I especially enjoyed the police drug dog display where they "planted" stuff on one kid and the dog had to find it. And hell I would never try and outrun a police dog in pursuit of a criminal....yikes they can move!

[piston broke]

i hope the kid got to keep it after his run from the dog

[Maha]

Awesome to see M1CRO there, and MDU with minne mdu or is that bdu?...:confused:
We all headed back to Puhoi after for a sit down and catch up.
