    Unfortunately, no.

    It's about 300metres north of Parliament, just by the turnoff to the Motorway.

    But if enough bikes could be praked on Molesworth, I imagine they could easily reach it.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Within easy walking distance anyway (bugger me, if my lazy old legs can do 300 mtrs you young ones can).

    I wonder if ACC would like to entertain a thousand bikers or so. Tea and sandwiches.

    Maybe , if say a biker were to go in and ask for a bundle of cliam forms "cos if you bastards are going to screw us I'm going to get my money's worth".

    Followed a minute later by another biker, ditto request.
    Followed a minute later - well, y get where this is going.

    Maybe about three at atime to put some pressure on.

    2 Questions

    That marshals are likely to be asked

    1. Where is the nearest Toilet ?
    yes I know we have a block at the stadium but are there others public toilets in the area that can be used ?

    2. Where can I get a drink ?
    yes I've seen the Shell shop are these other convenience stores in the area to point people to ?

    Those familiar with down town please respond

    Could someone please print a wall size map of the immediate area so these locations can be easily pointed out to Marshals at Monday nights meeting

    Cheers

    On molesworth (its the Govt Hubb what else would we expect, The New World up the road does great food too. Not sure about loos though..Great cafe directly opposite the Bee Hive. O but FFS do not park in the New Word Car park as it will be towed, they are very anal about parking lol, sooo many cages get torn out of there.

    If you mean the Coffee cart its actually 90 meters (just paced it the other day) from Parliaments top gate' at the corner of Molesworth and Hawkstone st's, one block uphill
    Its Fuel brand, and will be swamped in no time, but in the block JUST past it (sahed by ACC National HQ) are several cafe's and lunchbars

    There are 2 cafes' directly opposite Parli and the Backbencher

    A MASSIVE Pie Cart/sidewalk takeaway at the Train Station, 80 M from the bottom gate, just take Bunny st toward Rail station and its right there, 1 minute walk from parliament bottom gate and its used to dealing with BIG friday night crowds etc

    New Worlds at Rail Station as well as another New World 150 mteres up the street at Molesworth st

    Occidental and a shitload of Takeaways, and a convenience/drink shop just along Lambton Quay, so shitloads of refreshments options nearbye

    Other than the loos at Stadium there are also:

    Train Station, and the Bus Stops just by Uni, (unisex autocube things)
    Toilets in Bus transit area (uni sex cubicle things)
    There is a public loo somewhere near Parliament for lunchtime picnikers so someone find that too but I think we will be fine

    There is a lot of easily found food and drink nearbye anyway
    Just ride.

    One could always use the Burt Munro method of tree watering...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    that would be a good luck, hundreds of us lining up and urinating at parliament.... Might be a free trip in the back of a paddywagon!

    Had a walk around the Stadium this morning, There is more than enough parking space, had a chat with the Stadium Security Manager, They have plenty of cameras, for normal crowd control.
    Will be having a chat with the Stadium Operations Manager tomorrow.
    Stadium marshals will be there mainly to assist with the parking of bikes, and pointing of out of towners the quickest way to Parliment.

    I know of a certain New World in the lower North Island that is being harrassed by the council "red tape" all because one of the councilors parked his car all day in their carpark and the supermarket had it towed LMAO

    Theres plenty of parking in the stadium and people will be there to watch your bikes while you're at parlament.
