What happened at Kumeu?

Hey KB,

Does anyone actually know the reason Why bikes were banned from the Kumeu car show?

I was at the Beach Hop over last weekend, and there were 1% club members at the bars and walkin around looking at the displays, with no drama.
The Hells Angels even had a stand there selling t-shirts and the like.

From what Ive read in the papers 2013 Beach Hop was one of the most sucessful. So this makes me wonder what actually happened at Kumeu for them to ban bikes?

Apparently some wanker was tearing up and down the roads there with a backfiring Suzi S40, pissed off the residents and organisers...

I dunno - maybe 'cos its a car show and they had no trouble filling it with cars?

Bikes can look a bit lonely at car shows - but I'd still like to go to a Beach Hop....

Can do.... but they certianly don't at the Beach Hop. They are a big part of the parade, and for the top 10 shootout (overall winner regardless of class) there were 3 bikes this year.

At Kumeu members of a local motorcycle club rode through the crowds and intimidated a lot of people in other ways.

I'm pretty disapointed an pissed off about that.

Who cares why but I hope they aren't allowed back next year too. The 81's hired Meremere for a day instead of going to Kumeu and allowed all brands of bikes to attend. I had a blast!
