L's Angels
A group of motorcyclists that ride together with a focus on Learner and Newbie riders. We are like the Hells Angels (not) a lot of our members are on L plates. Our members are spread from Kaitaia to Whanganui (so far), and anyone can join. Sadly, one of our members is facing down cancer for the 3rd time. He is not well enough to join us. We thought this was a good way to support our friend.
Maha (Mark) & Mom (Anne) started L's Angels. We are supporting Ynot Slow (Tony). Our team members are, in no particular order;
Mom and a survivor friend, Newhere and her daughter, OCD legend , Timmeh :P , Hellzie , blue rider, Phreak, Scorpio girl, nathan white, Virgil, The Singing Chef, the list goes on...
We are part of an online forum. Members of our community are taking part in this relay by riding north from Wellington on Saturday. The ride will be carrying "batons". These batons will contain messages of support for Tony and his family that will be added to as the ride progresses. The ride leaves the Cenotaph in Wellington at 7am Saturday morning, splitting into 2 groups at Sanson and travelling up the West coast via Taranaki to Te Kuiti, and up the East coast to Napier (the baton transfer there will take place at the Relay in Napier) to Taupo and onto Te Kuiti. Along the way the rides will stop and members will join in, as others peel off to go home. There are members that are riding all the way, some part of the way.
A group will ride south from Auckland to meet the ride at Te Kuiti. They will then ride north to arrive at Millenium Stadium at 8pmish. Some will stay and walk with our team.
We all have different reasons for taking part in this event, we have survivors amongst us, some have lost family and friends, but this one is for Tony. Kia kaha Tony.

Well where do I start, I made what was at the time a brave decision for me, to go on a Motorbike learner ride to the Cape, One of the best decisions i've ever made, What an amazing group of people our L's Angels are. Amongst them on this particular trip was a wee slip of a man traveling alongside Mom in the support vehicle, His name, Tony. I got to sit with you Tony at Hohoura Tavern, what a beautiful place to sit and chat and get to know one another, however briefly. You told me about your family and your Brother, we laughed and laughed a bit more. It is an enduring memory for me, one I shall cherish forever. Meeting you has enriched my life and touched my Soul. You are sooo kind and strong and brave and funny. I missed the Taupo ride would have loved to catch up again there. You have touched the hearts of many, one only has to read these threads to realise that, I'm glad to be one of themWhen our time comes may we ride on the wings of Angels
Thank you for being you
Jo.xoxoxo
Well said Newbi, well said...Mom-wot size white board we talkin?
Yes folks, we dont need to get ourselves any fancy costumes, we come wearing one
This just in...
The Relay will go ahead in rain, however if there are strong winds on site and safety becomes an issue we may make the call to postpone or cancel Relay. This decision will be made at 10am on Saturday morning, and the phone numbers 308 0240 / 308 0169 will be updated with the relevant information. It is a good idea to have your team members mobile numbers, or make sure they have your mobile number, so that you can update them.
Dependent on conditions on the day and the forecast, if we need to postpone Relay the likely scenarios are to either postpone Relay until later that evening, or until 6.30 on Sunday morning. If we postpone until Sunday morning then we will start with the Big Breakfast and continue the Relay until 12 midday. If we decide to postpone, this decision will not be made lightly and will be made in the best interests of everyone’s safety.
Please let it not be 6.30 Sunday morning
Those of you with friends in higher places, please, please ask for the weather to improve![]()
In my prayers for weather to be good,these comments are very very moving,to be held in such regard is a great feeling.
