whats a badge? and whats it for?

**crashe** · 3rd December 2004, 10:44

A badge is so that you know what fundraiser runs you have been on....
Some people have so many on their jackets from doing so many fundraiser runs. They cast $10 usually and some of that money from the badges goes towards the fundraiser.

Motoracer - yes motorway will be involved i have done these for the past 5 years(apart from last year, and this year as well) Usual there are a bunch of hoons pulling wheel stands etc down motorway.

They normal close the motorway off for us, when you about to leave bmw MT welly, cop stops traffic coming down motorway, so you have motorway all to ourselfs, then also all green lights thru to Aotea Square(even if they arn't green we make all the cars stop, so all bikes get thru in one bunch)

pity i can't make it this year )c:<

For those we haven't read the other thread concerning the Toy Run, KBers will be meeting at Caltex on the Mt Wellington Highway (Mt Wellington side) at 9am and then riding to BMW together. See you there.

BALLS! I knew there was a reason I was meaning to get my warrant and rego up-to-date before the weekend... Bugger.

What do you reckon the chances of being picked out of a crowd of a few hundred is, for expired warrant and rego?

Many years ago at the begining of toy run a senior policeman was heard saying fairly loudly "On this ride anyone seen riding without a helmet I'll assume has a helmet excemption"
