BIKEOI - When? The final poll

[sunhuntin]

I have suggested about mid-day but the time is yet to be set. I believe parliament begins sitting at 2pm on a Tuesday, and that is when MPs are required to be in the debating chamber. So some time before that (but not too early) would be best, IMO.

Can anyone get hold of a detailed parliamentary schedule?

that sounds perfect. means i could do there and back in a day without feeling it too much.

Have I missed something or has there been a date set for the BIG RIDE?

I've got a real bad itch. I want to be a part of thousands of bikes, in one long stream, holding up traffic, scaring concerned mothers of three, and turning up to ONE LOCATION! Ergo, Parliament, Key's house, or Scott-Base.

I don't care where. I just want to be there. Thanks Tim. Excellent quote.

For those of you who missed it, the paraphrasis is from Tim Shadbolt saying..'I don't care where, I just want to be Mayor.'

So do we have a time and a place, and a stream of bikes?

When? And to where?

BTW: Are 'we' inviting the mobs? After all, they might pay rego too. We could arrange things so that we all go through Fonganewy, just to piss off that lightweight gnome of a mayor!

You'll probably find out more after the BRONZ meeting tonight.

Wait a few more hours. Like all the rest of us.

Yeah nice article pitty it is only on the newstalk zb site and not on the nz herald or the dom post sites I am thinking of emailing them the link for more coverage.
All they talk about is plotting not a date

Dude, wrong attitude
Yes they pay rego (unlikely but some must) however not the image we want

Cant stop them coming, but shit, how do we get them to behave?
They wont, so I for one wsih to avoid including them

Bike clubs, welcome!
Gangs, not

Fair call I say

[Qkchk:Me]

Can't make either - CRAP!

In Christchurch during the week of the 5th and then in Wellington (but bike-less) during the week of 15th - 17th. Unfortunately all my work travel is paid up for (flights / accomodation / hire car) so I don't have a choice.............

Would it be more plausible to try and say all "bikers" welcome but no patches? Or does that open a whole new can of beans.....

It does if ya in Wanganui....

[nothingflash]

oh god... there's beans everywhere....

[jaymzw]

It does if ya in Wanganui....

Do you mean WHanganui

Rats! I cant make any of these dates! Bloody school

But i agree, whilst on public display Gang patches wouldn't be the best idea. Making a good impression is everything

You speak wisely old one

I rescind my previous position and bow wisely to the master


You said what I meant, and said it way better

I got no issue with patches, it's behaviour that is important and I reckon the patched bros (if there are any here) know how we all wanna roll (as a collective thing) and I reckon they'd be in on the same trip.

I'm more than happy to ride next to anyone patched as a brother rider with the same cause.

I pulled up at a bar, next to a crew, harley bobbers, balaclavas, chrome german helmets etc etc. In whakatane a few weeks back. They go hey bro awesome bike, sit down bro, have a beer with us. Excellent lads, all totally respectful - very relaxed. Just cos you got a patch doesn't mean you are gonna cause a riot.

just my experience.

Too true as an ex who remembers the days when we used to escort them when they went on runs, they are all regularish types who enjoy the ride. Must avoid the stereotyping.
