    If any Scooter riders wish to assist in marshalling at Parliament and the Stadium your assistance would be gratefully accepted
    Goes without saying really....if anyone from Kapiti wants to go to meeting next Wednesday, I'm happy to play sober cage driver, best ya don't get carsick on the Paekak Hill is all

    I am absolutely emphatic that scooters MUST be included. We need a contingent of scooters , as big as possible.

    (Presumably the "scooters don't ride the convoy" doesn't apply to Burgman650s and such ? )

    Does anyone in Wellington have an eight year old who's not shy or afraid of crowds they could bring along.

    Just thinking a thought.

    I'm only wearing black until they develop something darker




    We came, We listened, And in one voice we answered

    I can arrange more scooters to come along from the local scooter club if we can park at Parliament. I have already arranged to help marshall and will be there on a vespa. If someone can give me accurate info (exactly where and when) to pass on to MY scooter forum I will do so.

    For logistical reasons I cant be there for the meeting. I am happy to put my hand up for clean up duties.

    If need be I will forgo the ride and put me to use where you need me Stoney.

    I am unable to attend the meeting next Wednesday and have already offered to work with Cathy on taking photo's and will be there well before the bike/bikers arrive.

    Am happy to help out elsewhere as well if necessary(clean up?)

    and / or

    Follow me on Facebook

    I might add I have never yet seen a motorcycle with a Mobility Pass to use the reserved parks, (dont meant they aint out there) but that is why this issue has not yet been addressed

    Can I ask here and now, is this a real concern for anyone, do you have a mobility issue we need to address? Or are you raising an issue you think was overlooked (and it was in all honesty)


    [
    Craneman does has a mobilty pass! Some/most would call it a disability. Was talking to him tonight & Im pretty sure he will ride his Vulcan.
    It was an honest question & not a piss take. I will make sure he makes himself known to the marshalls
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.
