It was good to meet you too... lol and I wanted to take a little horsey home too... don't think Sam would have been to happy if I'd put Harvey (?? the new little one) on the back of the bike instead of her lol

lol! the horse might know to sit still....lmfao. i didnt get a good look at harvey, which is a bummer.

hey...thanks for those pics...i didnt get any of the wickedones.

Only part of the ride that sucked was some nana in her white car trying to turn onto the Onewa Off ramp (first two lanes were closed for the bikers to ride on)... I didn't see her at all until she cut right infront of me... and shot off onto the next lane...

I was right behind her and she seemed to be a bit confused by it all... Never mind, I'm sure her mind was on where she was going and she was well aware of the bikes around her...

Just saw on Close-up that the Transit Sandle-wearing Red-Tapers have backed down on their stand over next years run...

They said "It was so well organised with supervision by police"

So a bit of TV coverage has saved what would have been the stupidest decsion of the year so far by the spoil-sports in Wellington...

YAY!!!!

great ride,, faster than i thought,, think the cops were out in front and set the speed,, they enjoyed it as much as everyone,always wanted to blast down the motorway ,with not having to worry about cars...met a few KBers. was there only 1500..riders..seemed a lot more than that..bit hard to judge...hope we can do it next year..anyone up 4 the toy run??...Ride Safe...KEV

I was right up the front near the cops leading.... and we were only doing 80kph......

so I have no idea why the back bunch were doing a faster speed.......

Why wait a whole year to get a bike....... go out and buy one tomorrow.
Sell off his bike, cos he wont notice it missing in the garage..... and then you can get two bikes....... a little one for him and a big one for you......

thats the way it tends to work on a lot of group rides. any ride ive gone on, ive been told to stay near the front, cos the speed will be slower. but i always end up right at the back, doing a high speed to keep up. the tail section always goes faster.
as it was, there apparently was a huge gap...the group split in half somehow.

i dunno how fast disco was going...his speedos in mph and i couldnt read it.
