WOOHOO!
EXCELLENT NEWS

That was the best possible outcome.... heaps of publicity due to the THREAT of being closed down, then not actually being closed down. We love you Transit

Can we have heaps of free publicity again net year, please?

Got the Close Up article here on YouTube:

It'll probably take a while before they finish processing it, just have to be patient.
Sorry about the quality, the TV1 reception isn't the best here.

Excellent news. Good to see it getting air-time on TV aswell.
Looking forward to the 2008 ride already. More bikes next year please!

**WickedOne** · 14th February 2007, 08:50

Fantastic news, see y'all there next year!!!!

**surfer** · 14th February 2007, 10:46

That's excellent news. Hopefully I'll be able to get a comfy seat sorted for Mrs Surfer, the current one is a tad uncomfy and then she'll be able to go on the ride too.

Must remember to take my magic mojo next time as well for the spot prize draw

Despite all the comings and goings - who backed down, who is to blame etc... thanks to the Ulysses organisers for persisting.

I'll be there in '08

Edit - thanks to the cops as well... I know - it's your job but I'm sure I saw some of you guys/gals go above and beyond on this one

I second that, go the Ulybods who put so much work into this every year and good on ya coppers who support and make this the safest and largest charity run in the country.
I will be there next year and supporting this as I usually do.

PS Hovel, was that you I saw on Onewa road having 'a wee chat' with the local constabulary the other day????
