    Yesterday, my love for the open road was well and truly rekindled! Even better, it was a great chance to support our local hospitality spots in what are still pretty tough times for many. We kicked things off on the North Shore, meeting at North Harbour Stadium. The day couldn't have started...

    LEAVE TIME: 10:30am from Dairy Flat BP on the Northern Motorway.
    ARRIVAL TIME: 11:30 am at the Muddy Waters Tavern in Mercer
    DONATION: $10 per Bike

    With tributes and support coming in from around the world, now is the time to show how much we care about our own.
    There are thousands of Kiwis in Christchurch that need assistance now more than ever.
    A cash donation from bikers in the North Island will indeed help some of those who are going through desperate times.
    All we are asking for is a $10 donation from each Bike.
    Donations to made on the day but if you cant make it or would prefer, a bank account number is avaliable below.
    The Appeal funds collected will be forwarded to the Salvation Army Earthquake appeal.

    In true Kiwibiker tradition, we urge bikers from the Waikato/BOP/ King Country and everywhere in between and beyond to get in and show your support and generosity for those devastated by the Christchurch Earthquake.

    :Fatt Max will donate a couple of 'Blooze Yeah' albums as spot prizes.

    :Bank account for donations if you cant attend the ride - Use CHCH Quake as the reference please and add you online name.

      I can neither confirm or deny that on the grounds that it may incriminate myself.

      Yet another awesome well run event guys, I just wanted to say that the feedback I have been getting from customers, friends and family alike, includes comments like "WOW!!!, Impressive turnout, absolutely astounded by the sight and sound of so many well polished machines travelling down the motorway..." and the list just goes on.

      Unfortunately for us we couldn't make it to the finish, after one jumpstart and a tow from just before Oteha Valley Road, our vehicle decided to reconsider exactly how many cylinders it should have active. Thus forcing our own retirement from the run (didn't see that one coming!) and an afternoon of sourcing a replacement vehicle for the coming week.

      But the good news is we were able to see Steve safely on his way home.

      Thankyou to the NZ Police for the rolling block they put in place to see us safely off the motorway and I especially want to thank Mom and Maha for once again allowing us to attend the event and look forward to seeing you all again real soon.
