    Welly bikers' support for gear show?

    I'm trying to gauge the support or interest for a mini-show of some gear to be held in Wellington. No, not a major event. The idea is that Quasimoto leathers would be in town and have some gear on display so people can get up close and personal for themselves. Leathers, synthetics, boots, protective gear. To add some depth to that, WMCC would bring along some helmets and a couple of demo bikes. That's all the people I've spoken so far.

    As I said not a big bike/gear/huge commercial thing, just a small sorta thing so KBers (mainly) can have a looky at some stuff. I'm open to suggestions and thoughts. This is by no means meant to cut anybody out so if you'd like to be involved then PM me. Also by keeping it relatively small then no-ne gets their toes stood on. The thing is that the more that get involved the bigger the event would have to be and that would mean all sorts of shit I don't wanna know about - event location, money, stalls etc...

    Vote above and we can all see how much interest (or lack of it) there'd be.

    ::edit:: Of course peeps from elsewhere would be welcome...

    Yeah sounds good. I'm always keen to support the industry when I can. Especially local industry.

    Well there maybe a BBQ to go with it... I suppose some beer. But if there are gonna be bikes there then definitely NO drink riding!

    I am interested in this and would attend. I would be happy to help with organising if you need it.

    Somehow I think this is a nefarious scheme by Colapop to get more of his Samoan Viking mitts on everyone in range (and hes got long arms...the scuffing on his knuckles prove it!)

    On ya Cola, doing your bit for biker safety and supporting kiwi engimanuity!

    Might be a good enough excuse to go for a ride given enough notice.
