The Great Trailer Run!!

**Madguitarist!** · 11th November 2005, 20:06

Here's another fundraiser idea for Spankme and the running of Kiwibiker.co.nz

I;ve got a 3 rail bike trailer in Dunedin that needs to be freighted to Auckland and bugjuice 'suggested' passing the trailer from city to city with the help of the KB members nationwide! I thought it was a cool idea and would like to turn this into what I'll call "The Great Trailer Run"!!

If we can get a KBer from each city along the route to pass on the trailer till it gets to Auckland, I'll contribute a certain amt of mula to Spankme for the running of this forum. I'm hoping this will help this great website as well as get my trailer up here.

Since it's coming from Dunedin it would cover most of this country and would in effect kinda be a national KB fund raiser sponsored by me as I'm willing to fork out a couple of hundred to freight the trailer up here.

Any thoughts guys?

Are there attachments to fit to the back of a ZXR?

Okay, I'll get the ball rolling.

I could take it to Timaru, if some Christchurch KB'er(s) would like to meet me there to "take the batten" onwards.

It would be nice to meet any Ch-ch KB'ers.

If the timing is right, I might be able to take it from Chch to where ever the next point is... I will talk to you on Thursday D

Good start Virago! Joni, thanks for that. We can sort it out Thurs... if we're not too pissed! hehe. Any other takers out there?

Would be interesting to see how we get the trailer from the mainland to Welly.

Cheapest option would be--put the trailer on its lonesome on the ferry --then a welly KBer picks it up other end.
MG--I think you are gonna hafta spring for a ferry ticket

Huntly to Mt Roskill can be sorted.

**poorbastard** · 12th November 2005, 13:31

I can possibly do from welly, north up to taumarunui? I need to get some bikes up to Taumarunui. Depending on when the trailer arives in Wellington that is...

Good idea, I'll sort out the ferry costs with whoever can get it on the boat!

A big thank you to those who have put up their hands to be a part of this fundraiser, Virago, Joni, Uncle Frost, Marty, Poorbastard, Motu.....
Is there any more willing to help out? The more hands we get the lighter work for everyone and the more I'll contribute to this website too!!

Also, we'll need to get some confirmed dates to help organise everyone's involvement. Virago, are you able to tow the trailer to timaru sometime next week? Anyone in Timaru or Chch able to grab it off Virago and tow it to Chch?

Once again, thanks for your willingness to help! If some of you guys can take pics of the handover of the trailer, I'll put together a scrap book of this Trailer Run Fundraiser for the site!

Late next week would be okay, but I'd prefer the weekend. Timaru is a 400km round trip from here (close to $60 in gas), so that would be my limit. Can someone come down from Ch-ch to take it from there?

I'd be happy to do it, to see some money going to the site maintenance, but also the chance to meet some other KB'ers.
