We are going to have to meet up so I can shake your hand sir, unfortunately it wont let me give you any more bling.

Hey DogsnBikes - sorry to hear 'bout the medical stand down

That could be a goer as long as timing allows - about 30 mins or so to the city from the airport by cab - whats the arrangement getting access etc? Do you know how long to get to one of the two meeting points? Should be doable I think by 11:30?

Would really appreciate the opportunity to ride in if I can fit it all in - would be an honour to take one of your machines out there (750 preference - but I'm not too choosy). The terminal is pretty close to the beehive as I remember which should mean it's pretty straightforward getting it back there - as long as there is somewhere to leave it etc. I expect to be leaving the city centre not too much later than 2:30-3:00ish to make sure I make the plane home.

(I'm assuming they'll let me take my lid as carry on... never tried to fit one in a luggage locker )

oh Access wont be a problem If Im of work that day I will meet you there if not I will arrange for you too pick up the key and bike etc 20 minutes should give you plenty of time maybe if there is a fellow KB'er out by the Airport they can show you where to go...

Look like we're on then Not sure how I'll ever be able to repay the favour - but I'll ride safe and look after your bike and ride it valiantly towards the Beehive!

I am printing transfer labels for hi-vis vests at the minute for the cause - would you like a hi-vis vest with the "Easy Target" graphics (or anything you want really?)

My plan is to bring my gear (I'll ride to the airport) - but I'll just do a double check I can take my lid on board - no chance in hell would I leave it with a baggage mishandler.

Thanks again, I'll PM all my details to you in case you want to get in touch (although PMs from here go to my blackberry anyway )

No need too repay just pass it on.....

I have a spare CB500S (see profile pic) which can take rider and pillion. Legal riders only and taking pillion only if experienced in same (rider not pillion).

Prefer to have an out of towner who wants to come but cant get a bike to Wellington. May even have a bed available for the Mon night if they want to fly in the night before. (Bed to be confirmed).

Edit - Bed confirmed (possibly 2) and I also have a couch and floor space.

Anyone picking up a bike on the Tues morn but arriving Monday?
Possibility of doing the pickups Monday night to save time on the Tuesday morning and bring the bike to my place. (owner agreement obviously).
I live in the suburbs 15mins from Welly. Quiet street and have off road parking and space for one more bike in the garage.

Maybe worth seeing if we can organise group airport pickups as pillions by the Wellington crowd. I'm quite happy to meet someone off the plane and pillion them to wherever. Only problem is I'm acting as one of the marshals so late Tues morn pickup is no good for me.

Hi, I am keen to join the ride down but do not have a bike at this point...
That MAY change in the next 3 weeks, but is it possible to put my name on the bike needed list and remove it if I do end up with my own vehicle before the 17th? Fully licenced rider, have taken pillions before too.
Cheers,
Hanne

See post above. Your quite welcome to borrow the 500. Just pm me if interested.

Thanks Hawkeye and good idea, it would be nice if someone who lives in Wellington who knows the area could give me a hand with that part.

Does 10:30 count as late?

[Hawkeye]

Does 10:30 count as late?

Unfortunately yes (unless your talking PM Monday). I will already be at Parliment by 10:30am Tues. The police are expecting the Marshals to be ready by about 9:30 to help with the in flux of riders that will come in ahead of the main pack. Some folks aren't comfortable riding with 4-5000 others. (I don't know why ).

That's cool - jus' bein' cheeky! Just learned a few KB'ers might be on the same flight - hopefully we can share a cab

Any volunteers for this?

[FatHead]

Since I dont have an assigned passenger I can do a pickup run to the airport if someone tells me where to be when. Not too early though I am over an hour from the airport on Kapiti coast. PM me with details.

Oh and Petite/Slim pillions need only apply as previously stated mine is the large ass.

Hi. I have a bit of difficulty finding my way in this forum/site. I am leaving Warkworth from the ambulance station on SH 1 when the group from up north arrive, eta, 5.45 am. I ride a Virago XV 1100. I have accom booked in Palmy. Room for a pillion, as stated by others, no safety gear, no ride. No Cost involved as if I could I would burn the ACC building down.(Guy Fawkes). You can ring me if it suits, 0272448887. Cheers. ( I have ridden over 53,000 km's on this bike,often with a pillion.)
