Here's a few photos from the meeting point at BMW Mt Wellington. Crashe occasionally let somebody else speak to Charley

(I don't have a good group photo unfortunately)

Lots of fun lane splitting up the Southern Motorway with Police escort and then circling the arena on arrival at BBTs!

Great ride, good to meet a few of you. Awesome having the escort and ending up at BBT without having to worry about parking or errant cars that knock over bikes in parking lots.3 police on bikes, great job guys!!!

Don't know about the rest of you, but my bike was an interesting yellow colour when I came to leave. Last time I park in a giant sandpit when it's windy!

What a Great Day this was... I had no idea we were going for a mass ride over the bridge nor that we were getting a Police escort through town, nor that we were going to be paraded through the showground arena!

I had to beg the missus to come with me on the bike, (It ruins her hair & she can't wear her Jandals don't you know....silly moo) but even she had to admit she had a wicked time.

Great to meat Charlie, I watched the series back home in the UK and it totally inspired me to get on a bike.....

Top Bloke, I shamelessly got a Cheezy photo of me and 'The Borman' too which i'll send home to the Old Man and make him even more upset he has had to put his bike away for the british winter......

Just want to say a big thanks to everyone for riding safe and it was really enjoyable meeting other k'bers and saying hi to Charlie.

All in all a good day and a kickass ride to the BBT, really enjoyed the lap of honour (???) round the stunt arena although my bike was covered in dust when I left.

Here are some pics I took of the meet at BMW and the last two were at the Telstra Clear building on the shore.

They also had the original Indian from "The World's Fastest Indian", really cool to get a close up look at the bike and to see how basic and dangerous it is/was.

Check out Crashe's new ride.....cool hey?
