BIKEOI - When? The final poll

[Ixion]

Looks like 15th / 17th it is

I don't think anyone expects many people to front all three days. Those in or close to Wellington, who can only do the weekend can attend Sunday.

Those further afield, or who have to work Sunday can go down Monday, for a Tuesday delivery.

Those really far off (I'm thinking South Island) will have three days to get there .

[Big Dave]

I wonder where I can get a cow bell for my bike...

I think you are underselling the Volty.

[Little Miss Trouble]

Ran it past the boss, I'm in for the 17th

[StoneY]

17th is getting a lot of votes....

I can do that day
Needs to be a timetable for meeting locations etc, best effect is everyone arriving at once

Thursday meeting i guess?

[klingon]

aw crap..............15 to the 17 is the weekend of the national wima rally near palmie!!

Perfect! Go to the national rally in Palmie at the weekend, spend Monday getting to Wellie, ride to the Beehive on Tuesday morning!

[StoneY]

Well...didnt want to say it but the 17ths my 40th birthday hehe
What a way to celebrate it but bugger it seems to be favored day......

[gatch]

Will check to see how much leave I need for xmas, if I have surplus Ill be there all 3 days.

I'll bring a bag of poos to throw at richard smythe..

[klingon]

I think you are underselling the Volty.

Very diplomatic of you BD. At least you assumed the cow bell referred to the bike and not the rider.

[fridayflash]

Hey there Flash! you looking after my tractor?"grandad, do you know flash gordon?" "Why yes boy he used to drive my tractor?
I'm there whichever day it is, will try to hook up.

hehe, i remember that ad caseye...oft quoted round these parts too
about the same era as "somewhere near taupo"

[retro asian]

So is it confirmed?
i.e. should I book 2 or 3 days off work?

[Clean_up]

count me in, at least for the 15th, and probably the 17th also, will apply for leave as soon as it is 100% confirmed.

The date for the BIKEOI should be when parliament is in session and Nick Smith is present. It should also be well before submissions close so that those at the BIKEOI can exchange ideas on what to include in their submissions. Parliament is in session
October 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28 and 29
November 17, 18, 19, 24, 25 and 26

If we are going to leave it that late till after the submission cut of date then it's just a waste of time. But we do need to go when paliament is sitting.

Sorry if the long weekend interfers with peoples holiday but we need to strike while the iron is hot and not leave it to be another drawn out campaign.

I agree Pete but if people cannot attend before that date (as the overwhelming response indicates) then its toothless anyway

80 Bikers, or 3000 bikers....

We still have to hear back from the Ulyses club, the BRONZ meeting on Wednesday.....its too early to say 'this date' but the overall support is for the 15-17th as days to ride, and 17th to spam Parliament

Cant deny the numbers, unfortunately

[Kflasher]

Looks like 15th / 17th it is...

Cool my boss is a rider also, so it sounds like the office will be closed for those three days

[buellbabe]

Bugger! I am due in Welly 2 days later to catch a ferry...would really like to participate so will wait for more definative info...Planning on attending the Bronz meeting tomorrow and have already signed a petition thats going around.

I agree with what was said about doing a SLOW ride. A huge group of bikes riding at the speed limit will be really effective. And those t-shirts are cool but how about a HUGE banner saying something like "CAN YA SEE US NOW?????????"
