I wish to thank everyone involved for organising a awesome day, my mate and I came up from wellington on friday and made a weekend of it, We thoroughly enjoy being part of a great atmosphere and for such a great cause. We have aready booked our accommodation for next year.
If anyone has any pictures of the bikes leaving the square and heading up main st, Id love to see them, it must have been a awesome sight!!.
Again Well done to all! and hope to see you all again next year!!

What a magic day, FMS
A huge pat on the back to Flynn and family, whos dedication to give a little back made all this possible.
Time spent organising and running this event was imense but in the end, well worth it.
A big thanks to all those who in the back ground were out drumming up spot prizes, donations and helping with the organising, without which we would not have had such a good result.
Another big thanks to the Ashhurst Pohongina Lions club who were simply awesome to say the least. they did more than they were asked and did it extremly well, burgers were great and were given out when we returned at a pace that was probably quicker than the ride itself Thier organisation skills and efficinecy was supreb. It needs to be mentioned that they supplied some of the items needed on the day, including the chiller and sound system. So to all the Lions club members there on the day and in the background helping to organise the event
A Huge thank you for the out of towners for coming to support us on the day, big turn out from down Kapiti, Wellington way i believe. I hope we can give the same support to you in time

Last but certainly not least, thanks to all the businesses and people out there who kindly donated to this charity event, especialy considering the financial pressure everyone has been under after such a challenging year with the recession biting many of us very hard
AFC motorcycles donated a very generous $1000 worth of gift vouchers and showed up with thier tent and three of thier finest bikes even when they had a huge sale on at thier showroom with the radio station there. Thanks Brendon, your generosity has been noted and appreciated

Please support our sponsers as we would like to have thier support in the future and thier generosity needs to be rewarded

Great day, great company and not one breakdown or even minor accident on the run

Great event, well done everybody. Twas good to be part of it and good to catch up with the usual suspects.

Just need to sit down and work out what worked and what can be improved on for next year

Umm, how about not having it the same weekend as the March Hare Rally?

[yod]

great day, had a ball, well worth it

except now i realise my headlight guard is gone, so either it's fallen off, which i find hard to believe, or some total c**t has stolen it, in which case; thanks, you fucking lowlife

[Flynn]

You must have lost it, no biker would dare touch another bikers bike

That is a real shame if the latter has happened.

[red mermaid]

Great work by the organisers and a nice scamper through Apiti.

Loved the auction even though I didn't buy anything, but will be back next year with as much money as I can scrape together so I can take advantage of the deals.

Well done.

[ynot slow]

Well organised and run,hopefully those business sponsors get good mileage for their buck and was welcomed by the benefactors,great way to enjoy the feelgood factor by participating,role on next year.
Maybe next year the date could be earlier,especially as non biking sponsors have the relay for life next week,and having two great causes close together makes it hard to give good products to two organisations close together.

I enjoyed the ride , the odd rain spells wasn't too big of a deal. Apiti loop was quite different riding at a slower pace, I actually got to see the scenery . Next year I'll make sure I take the saddle bags as there was lots of great stuff in the auction I just couldn't take home.

You must have lost it.

I keep telling Owl and 86 that Triumph's are as common as....

[Little Smurf]

I'm glad it was a huge success, and well done to Flynn and all organisers, it's a huge task to take on such an event, alot of time and sleepless nights. Sorry I couldn;t be there, I had a Cooking class to attend to in Te Horo

Well worthwhile experience, felt my little baby was a bit small but I kept up thanks to all leaving their "ego" behind. Great day, great cause. and great trip. Ready for next year.

[sels1]

So whos got pics?

[slydesigns]

... thanks to all leaving their "ego" behind.

I still brought mine to the party! just had to leave it in second gear the whole trip so it still felt insanely fast...

Awesome ride despite us all doing that loop at speed normally. Really enjoyed just cruising for once and leaving the front wheel down on the road - mostly. Thanks FMS Team! Nothing like a trip to the Center Of The Universe to keep things interesting!
