I think this is a good opportunity to pass the hat around once per month, and if Uncle B mentions "gold coin donation for site upkeep" in the advertisment, then there is no reason for bad looks. Donations are always optional, so no pressure is on anyone who doesn't feel so inclined.

Just as long as it's made clear what it's for. People new to a group can get a bit nervous when a hat/helmet is passed round.

If you want to give a lump sum, or give a donation yourself, there are bank details etc on http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=27784

Enjoy your ride tonight, I'd be there if I had wheels. Just don't think it would be the same tagging along in a cage

That was more a joke than serious...

Ive already bought a custom t-shirt and some stickers, will donate more when the hat/helmet is passed

Tonight? Around the Bays (Wellington's South Coast), terminating with burgers and beers at the Bristol (coincidental alliteration). A great night for a ride under the stars, watching the city and motorway lights sparkle off the harbour.

The less said about the Cruisey Ride Zephyrometer Tumble, the better...

Thanks again to the the gang for letting the STeed tag along.

Sorry guys I didn't make it cos I found a nasty little crack in my front fork holding the wheel on and want to check it out first!

I will post a thread as soon as I shrink the pics to 1MB

Hope it was as nice on the bikes as it was on foot!

I'm sorry i didn't make it either, But I got a good excuse. I was given a ticket to Deep Purple by a supplier at the last moment.

They rocked so hard it was awesome.

Will be there for next week though

Sounds like a lovely evening. I was gonna make it, but the Mrs put the hard word on me about putting a bath and shower back where they belong. So I went to Arizona drinking with the work crew. A bit chilly on the ride home though.

Anyone keen to do a cruisy ride with me tonight and meet up with the trtnr guys back at the pub?

If so meet at trtnr meet point at 1800 hours (6pm) and we'll discuss it there.
