Guy Fawkes Auckland 250 ride, BBQ + Fireworks

**Maverick** · 24th October 2006, 13:35

Hi Guys,

The next 250 ride is scheduled to land on Guy Fawkes,
Thought it could be fun to go for a ride, then have a BBQ somewhere and let off some fireworks,

Update:

At this point it looks like a ride out east starting around 3pm, then anyone who wants to come back to our place to get takeout and let off some fireworks is welcome.
This invitation is generally open to those who ride with us and their kids/partners etc, Im not posting my address and details for all and sundry to turn up later.
Alcohol is BYO, Drink driving is not encouraged or advised.
Fireworks, I will be getting some, people are welcome to chip in towards these or bring their own to add. (if you want to drop some (or anything etc) off before the ride let me know)
Food, people can either chip in for take out or pick up whatever they fancy. My place is pretty close to almost any take out you could want. (Pizza, Chinese, Mcd's, BK, Wendys, KFC, Oporto)

As with all the 250 rides we dont tolerate stupid behaviour, the same applys in this case to firework safety afterwards. (As much as we might joke about setting fire to Warlock's Hyosung, I like to think that most members are intelligent enough not to take it seriously).

I'm guessing the BBQ and fireworks will have to be at someones place... I don't think its legal to set off fireworks in public places... like beaches etc

Sounds like a plan... weather pending I'm keen

Great idea! There is a place called shakespear park, about 30-40 min drive from Auckland. Im sure u can light up some fire works thea and they have BBQ machines 2

Cant say for sure that i'll come but if i'd be free i'll definitely tag alone

I have a reasonably good place for fireworks, but my BBQ is in a bit of an old rusty state, will talk to my neighbour tomorrow to see if he wants to join us if his BBQ is a goer (he's a biker too), (Im in Ellerslie).

Yeah thats a great place... do you live in the area? Maybe you could go check out the signs and see if they allow it... if so then we'd need to organise a cage to get the BBQ there and back lol

Its quite a long drive back in the dark for inexperianced riders though, and if the weather turns nasty it wouldnt be that great, someones place would be better,
As mentioned Im happy to have it at my place, just need to sort a better BBQ. My place would be on the way home for most people from the usual 250 ride routes, (except McJim as you cant get much closer then him).

So would this firewords thing just be for the 250 riders? Or will it be open to ALL KB'ers? I think if it's open there will be a bigger response

Its aimed at riders who come to the responsible 250 learner rides, so if you are prepared to come ride with us then sure, you are welcome, we have a few larger bikes that come on our ride a few times.

Note, as always dangerous behaviour isnt welcome on these rides, and that extends to the social function afterwards also in this case,
