These rides should be called the 'United Bikers' or 'United Motorcyclists' Quake Appeal Rides. - ?

Bikers Ride to suport Quake Victims.

Bikers Unite for Quake Appeal.

Motorcyclists Unite for Quake Appeal. *Meh*

Bikers ride in support of people affected by the Christchurch Earth Quake.

Motorcyclists ride in support of people affected by the Christchurch Earth Quake.

Perhaps the Media could run with this...

Motorcyclists ride in support of people affected by the Christchurch Earth Quake.

Either way, I am not bothered. What matters to me the most is that the turn out is overwhelming and that we can raise a shit load of money to hand over to the Sallies.

Nothing wrong with Christchurch Quake Appeal Rides . Leave it be and lets all get behind the rides, because it is not about us, it's about Cantab needing our help. Maha if ya need help on the day give me a text on 027 4534020 OK. I don't care who's running it as long as it happens and we raise funds for the Cantabs. Their need far out ways any other issues. When these rides happen I would like us to say we did them together as NZ'ers for NZ'ers.

That personifies the spirit and intention of this ride mate, well done, big respect.

Do go on.

It's just easier to promote with a name or a headline - tag. Particularly to the 90% who aren't following on KB.

Edit.

Got it - 'Calling All Motorcyclists' Quake Appeal rides or

'Calling All Riders'
Christchurch Quake Appeal Rides.

Maha's call anyway.

Thank you Doug, yes I will need a hand with ride control at the front.
I have it quite clear in my mind how the ride will pan out (speed/lane choice/where to change lanes etc) so perhaps if yourself and Kelvin/Al or whoever is coming down from the north can help with that?
I had six ride controllers on the last one (360 bikes) but we were going through the City and needed that amount. Not so much on this ride.

I made a call today to the Salvation Army bloke that needs to approve this sort of thing. He was delighted and yes we can lift their logo and use it. He will provide me with an official bank account number in due course. They may even send someone to the Muddy Waters to collect the money. I have not had it all confirmed in writting, waiting for his email response, but fire ahead and DO IT is my call.

We are all to consider ourselves blessed. I certainly do

**What?** · 28th February 2011, 19:15

I'm a likely starter for this. Any talk of the Bay Boys (& girls!) getting together to ride over the hill? If so, let me the know what time you are leaving from where, and I will tag on as you pass my abode. Otherwise I might have to go on my own. The long way...
