Unfortunate timing indeed, but I can assure you all that there would have been no disrespect intended. I know these guys personally - they are customers of mine. The guy leading the ride is one of the more respectful people I've met.
They were passing through on their way to Wellington and who knows what deadline they had to meet. They would have been helmeted up before the Last Post started and were probably unaware of the significance of the disruption.
At least they had the respect to stop in at the ceremony. Did everyone else commenting in this thread manage to make it to their local service?
But if anyone would like me to pass on their comments, let me know.
Fukn lowlife scum plain and simple !! Disrespectful oxygen thieving arseholes ! And giving bikers a bad name especially all the good bastards that ride Harley's !!
The Last Post takes but a few moments of time and is usually followed by a minutes silence and then maybe 30 seconds of Reveille to allow the flag to be returned to the top of the pole. I really hate this sort of shit. Sure they turned out to the service, but FFS, all they needed to do was wait another 5 mins max and showed a modicum of respect for the men and women that served and lost their lives so these fuck wits can enjoy the freedoms of todays world!
Wankers the lot of them!

Hey and Katman, I played The Last Post twice today, once at the War Memorial Cemetery and once at the Town War Memorial Public Commemoration.
We already have a bad name ... just ask ACC ... A lot of motorcyclists actualy LIKE the bad boy(girl) image ...
Unless you have spoken to those accused and got their feedback on what actually happened ... please remain silent.
As Katman suggested ... bad timing ... maybe .... ??![]()
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
I imagine next year there will be a cordon further up the street, and nobody that isn't a part of the parade will be allowed a vehicle in the vicinity until completion of the parade. A lot of places already do this.
Keep on chooglin'
Respect is one thing a few lack ... opinion is another thing. They (at worst) exercised THEIR freedoms ... as did you.
Respect for others rights work both ways.
No laws were broken ...
and 20 years ago ... nobody gave a flying fuck about ANZAC day. Why all the PC bullshit now ...
Oh ... I didn't play (and never did) the last post. I WORE THE UNIFORM.
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
