BRONZ Easter run. Today Saturday the 27th of March 2010.

**caseye** · 27th March 2010, 12:03

To all of the people who rode today, many thanks for making the effort.
last year the car park at Sylvia park was almost choka, today we got maybe one corner partially filled.
I noticed many bikes going away from Mt Wellington and even more bikes heading away from our Destination(The Sally Army HQ in Papakura) These were most likely the mods, Rockers and rodders guys and giirls, heading out from Pukekohe earlier this morning.
Point is,
Didn't the message get out there well enough on KB, in Kiwi Rider?.
Dont know if it was advertsied at all to be honest.
BRONZ have for many years had a hugly successful Easter Run.
Not nearly as succesful today as past years, but nevertheless we rode and the Kids will get an easter egg or two thanks to the kindness and continued generosity of the bikers who did make it out today.
I firmly believe that while the BRONZ executive are grateful to those who do ride, that they must be wondering where everyone else got to, today , but can't say so or ask this particular question for fear of alienating themselves and depriving the Kids of their special easter treats donated by Bikers.
So I thought I would.
Where The Bloody Hell R Ya's? a question for the many guys and girls who have attended this particular run for many years (nine at least)
And for all those who saw the event calendar and thought. Yep! going to that.
So , again thanks to all who rode for the sally Army Kids and donated their time their money and their Easter Eggs to the kids.

Tbh, I didn't realise it was on. Feel bad now! It was nice that Ripper Roo92 could go with you guys though - his first group ride like that.

Only takes a few days of not poking nose in here on kb to realise what you miss out on. Next year..... Will try to keep eyes open for future charity runs ahead of time.

Considering this is the only thread about this ride I would not be surprised. There is a calander posting and that is it. Without promotion to help remind people that it is happening there is often little effort made for them to turn up

Good on those who showed and had a great ride.

Some of that would be my fault - I was working when the last BRONZ meeting was on - first it dawned that the event was on was when I rode past it with the TOMCC crew.
We shouldn't 'just' rely on KB either - Around 90% of NZ motorcyclists aren't members. My bad.

I didn't even realise it was on.

Couldn't have gone, cos the bike is waiting on a new battery, but I didn't even realise it was happening.

It looked good riding past the other way

Too many other things on this weekend (Beach Hop, Superbikes at Hampton Downs)...
