ANZAC Day adventure ... Canterbury

**Transalper** · 28th April 2007, 22:24

Here's something to give you a taste of video...
It's the first real challenge of the day and the first spills of the day.
Not all of us did it... me included, i took the main road to the top and got the camera out.
See the demo BMW made light work of the hill.

12 brave men gave up their freedom to ride ...
so we could dip our tyres & ride to a mile high

rivers of blood & fields of bones ...
these sons were never to return home

from hopelessness sprung hope, in natures form ...
red poppies grew forth, to shine a new dawn

as time marchers by, a strengthening of tie, to the sacrifice our brothers made ...
when they choose to give up their rite to ride

we will remember them ...

We will remember them...
Plug, Transalper, thingy, the other one, the short one (no the other short one), wossisname...

Cheers Plug for the wicked ride, something for everyone I reckon. Thanks to everyone else as well, these rides are just getting better and better.
Oh and TA, ta for not filming my 'off' on the Porter's Pass coach road. There is already quite enough footage of my bikes on their sides on youtube.

Hope you sold a copy of the BMW pic to canty rides before posting it on a public forum. Surely they would love a pic like that for marketing purposes. Awsome work.

Sure is a good shot of the new beemer,but from memory i think Rodney took it with my camera.Since he let me have a spin on 17k's worth of new beemer,bit second hand now like,i recon it's a fair exchange!!
