TAUPO - Transit NZ Road Barrier Protest Ride

[sunhuntin]

since im aiming to be there for the track day, i will sweet talk my boss into giving me another day. tuesday is the day im meant to be back at work, but one more day wont hurt... LOL. a 4 hour shift aint hard to get covered... will get the school kid to do it.

[Skunk]

Only problem with the route is the 'T' at SH5 and SH1 - it can be a frustrating exercise getting through that...imagine trying to get 100's (?) of bikes across en masse? Yes, I know that a marshall could hold up traffic, but I can't help but wonder if a better way would be to meet up at BP Wairakei and just head straight down SH1, even with the roundabout at Spa Rd...

Or a quick regroup on the lake front road... That avoids the spreading out caused by any of the intersections.

The only other thing is the traffic lights after the Spa Rd round about

I'll be there if it's at 12 cause I have an exam that day. but I live just up the road anyway.

**bump**

Do we know for sure if tv3 will be there?

[Grub]

Not yet .... hadn't really done too much until today's event was done and dusted. We needed everyone, including media to focus on today and the parliamentary process.

Marion Hobbs spoke really well about our ability to be heard via the petition process. The petition gets you a seat at the select committee table.

This is to good an opportunity to wast so Ill do my bit & be there

[janno]

I'm driving up to Auckland that day to fly out to Aus.

So, bugger, otherwise I would definitely be a starter.

I've been to Suncourt Hotel to try get a program of the workshop, but they said they don't have a booking for it Which is funny as I did a search on the net and found this:

http://www.transit.govt.nz/content_f...-Flyer2007.pdf

It clearly states "Workshop Venue / Date
Taupo 4-5 December 2007
Suncourt Motor Hotel and Conference
Centre, Northcroft Street, Taupo."

Good work MM. Does anyone know someone 'on the inside' ? It would be an utter tragedy if we all turned up, only to find the date or town/venue has been changed without notice.

I've rung the person in Transit who is doing the registration for the workshop, she has told me the schedule for the day and that it is at the Suncourt Hotel in Taupo on the 4th and 5th of Dec.

Good work MM. Made interesting reading.....

Wonder if there is anyone on KB who is suitably qualified to attend....we could have a whip around to send them to the workshop

I have applied for a day's leave without pay, if I get it I will be there!
After my effort on Sunday in Welly, I want to see this through.

I agree with that and am happy to put our money where my mouth is ... do we have someone who is both able to attend and will glean information and bring it back to the table to ensure when we lodge the petition we have covered off the arguements that they are going to raise.

I can chuck a few bucks in to. And will be in there if i can (as in if the bike is fixed by then) If not is there sombody that can pillion the unpillian-able?
