    Thumbs up Well done and thanks

    What an amazing day. To the organisers, marshals and countless unnamed others, thanks for all your hard work and for giving so many the chance to voice their displeasure today.

    Around 5000 riders got to hop on their bikes and ride to Parliament in a very well organised manner because of your efforts. The most dangerous thing that happened for me on the ride was that damn helicopter sneaking up from behind.

    Today could have been absolute chaos, in fact I was surprised that it wasn't.

    Big pat on the back to all. Be proud of yourselves. Hell of a beginning Folks.

    Thanks to StoneY and to all of the marshalls and volunteers.

    It was a very smooth operation. It is easy to overlook the organisation required when things go so smoothly. That we had 5,000+ bikers and traffic flowed well, great parking and directions showed the effort put in.

    I hope there were no incidents (missed the news) and the public can see we can organise ourselves, are considerate (parking at the stadium) and are really looking out for all motorists, as they will be next.

    Thanks again. you guys rock!

    What an incredible day!

    Thanks to the whole team who put in such an amazing effort in organising a full on professional protest!. Excellent co-ordination and really strong relationships with the officials made the whole thing run like clock work - imagine the chaos that it could have been with these guys!!!!

    Top effort and very much appreciated.

    Having the gates open at Parliament would've helped.
    Great turn out, and fantastic ride both ways, thanks to the organisers and fellow attendees.

    I'd also like to offer my sincere thank you to everyone who helped organise this event. I was glad to be a part of the leathered throng, and had a blast riding to the seat of government.

    I'd also like to point out that in that show of support, it looks likely the proposal can't gain traction. So that 2 hours from my day has probably paid off in perhaps $300 which can stay in my wallet. I don't think I've ever been paid $150 an hour to have that much fun - or at least not doing something I can admit too

    Well bloody done, and thanks again - a good job all round.

    Today could have been absolute chaos, in fact I was surprised that it wasn't.

    You can rest assured that chaos is the aim of the next and subsequent. Can't say what, when, or how, but unless these shiny-arse bludgers in Parliament listen, the wrack will tighten a notch or ten.
    Only 'Now' exists in reality.
