    Thanks Trudes

    Thanks for the reminder Trudes, too many things goin on to see it all

    We have made huge progress

    Anyone know where we could find a sponsor for a PA system?

    One used by ulysses is 570$ for the day, includess delivery setup and recovery and these guys know Parliament well

    I have managed to source 720$ in sponorship for the Toilets, so thats one ticked off but I have exhausted my financial goodwill around this city

    Who else out there has a lead on maybe a couple of NON Wellington based bike shops etc that can assist with this one???

    Wellington Industry has paid for the loo's, need more help and clocks ticking
    Just ride.

    The Capital KBers are gonna have to stand up, and take a smack in the gob for the rest of the country

    I have about 7 people ready to sacrifice the ride into parliament to be 'Ground Zero' marshalling personell
    I need 15 if not 20 to make this run smoothly

    Benefits:
    Get to park outside Parliament as opossed to at the Stadium
    Pretty pink/purple vests to wear (yet to be found too)
    Undying gratitude of the motorcycling public for your personal sacrifice

    Not so beneficial:
    Miss the BIG ride so our incoming visitors can eb marshalled to correct parking structures (Stadium Policy we have to 'stack' the bikes specifically)
    Monitor and assist pedestrian accesses with police Traffic officers
    Check and assist with bikes that 'leak' to ensure newspaper etc underneath as required (near impossible but a visible effort helps)
    Gate duty at Parliament


    There it is people

    Any willing to assist, there will be a meeting next Wednesday, 11th at the Parrot n Jigger conference room
    7pm


    Also hoping to get WIMA HOG and Ulysses reps to that one, as we hope to have sorted the 12 deciples by then

    Step up Capital dwellers, your country needs you!

    StoneY, as discussed with you on the phone, I will be flying to Wellington that morning and will go straight to Parliament with my 84-year-old mother in law. I have arranged for friends to meet us there and take her to a nearby cafe so she can sit it out. Once that hand-over has happened I will be available!

    (Ma in law has two sons who ride big bikes so she loves bikers. Don't be surprised if she wants to give you all hugs and pat you on the head and call you 'dear')

    I am pretty good at bossing people around and have done a lot of event management so will be very happy to play it by ear and help out where I can.

    Unfortunately I can't get to any of the Wellington planning meetings, so I hope someone on the day can just hand me a map and a run sheet, showing where people need to be by when, and I will work it out from there.

    I also need to be inside the beehive before 2pm for a prior engagement (!!) so I will be happy to help out until 1pm, then I will need to scoot off!
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!

    How about just letting some one with the Local Knoledge, who Knows the lie of the land, and who can make the meetings, thus having first hand information play Boss, and you just be a Soldier, like the rest of us and do your little bit for the cause.

    Able bodies. I have taken annual leave for that day just have a farewell up at the road in Molesworth (unsure of timing but this is more important) more than willing to 'stand out' in the crowd, or is that 'pack'... Just PM me to confirm..Sam

    I've been having a little think,(yes it hurt) about leaky oil bikes at the Stadium, I will ask the damage of a product we use for mopping up oil spills at work, if we get the cardboard trays they put fish and chips in these days and we put a cup full of oil mop in each tray, then those owners of bikes that like to be Externaly lubricated, ie leak oil can get a tray to put under their bike, maybe we also get a rock for each try so the wind doesn't blow the trays away.
    Will bring above information to meeting Wednesday.

    I didn't mean that I would be the boss - just boss people around!

    My interpretation of the role of the 'foot soldiers' (of which I intend to be one) is to get all the right people in the right places at the right times, according to the run sheet. That involves telling the millions of leather-clad bikers who show up, "you need to be over by that pillar, facing the front, in five minutes!"

    In order to be a good soldier I will need a map and a copy of the run sheet so I know who is meant to be where and when.

    I spoke to StoneY on Saturday so he knows my situation and I'm sure he understands my offer to help.
