Thank you so much to everyone that made today the sucess it was! Big thanks to the Wima gals for their assistance collecting donations for us, sterling job. Thank you to the marshalls and tail end charlies and counters. Thank you to Motorcycle recovery too, though we never hope to have to use your services the bloke you picked up when he broke down on the motorway will be plesed you attended today. To all the on the spot helpers that pitched in today, thank you.
Oh, thank you to the woman that made those patches! She sold 150 of them making $750 donated to the Red Cross from our ride today too! I will post her contact details up here when I have them, she will take orders for them, a really cool dated momento of the days events.
Kiwirider and Big Dave for the filming, and to another guy who also took huge amounts of film. Be watching Prime news and Maori News tonight too, they both covered the event. Cant wait to see pics, so load them up those that took them, I was too busy counting to 10 to take any.
Massive day! Thanks to everyone that helped make it such a sucess!

Maori TV were at the Muddy Waters, gave an interview to them which will air at 7.30. Big Dave was real busy at the Muddy with his filming, look forward to that being up here soon..

A glorious autumn day today saw several hundred motorcyclists turn out to raise money for the victims of the Earthquake in Christchurch. There were riders from Whangarei, Hamilton, Tauranga and Auckland that converged on the Muddy Waters Tavern at Mercer, and in Wellington 150 odd riders rode to the Parrot and Jigger for the same cause, the grand sum of $1200 was raised there.
The Auckland ride saw 275 riders gather at the BP at Dairy Flat. The gals from WIMA were standout collectors of donations in their pink jackets. After the rider briefing, we geared up and made our way down the motorway in convoy to Mercer. Watching the bikes stream to the parking area at Mercer, were dozens of riders from other areas.
More donations were gathered and counted and the organisers were able to announce that $4000 had been raised in Auckland for the cause. This money will be donated to the Salvation Army for use at ground level in Christchurch. The organisers, Mark & Anne James in Auckland and Iain Cook in Wellington, would like to thank everyone for their support and help today.
A brilliant day, with a fantastic turn out, and a wonderful amount of money raised.

Hes from your town, his name is Karl...I will pass the message on. Al and I were taking care of the the 2nd wave about 50 bikes back. All n' all the ride went really well, other vehicles were really well behaved I thought. Changing lanes just after SH2 turn off went smooth as from I sat..
Whip it, whip it good!
Maha was the speaker, I did not see Madness today, though that would not surprise me, there were many, though I managed to hug LOTS!
I love days like today
