    Bikes at Paeroa - how many?

    Just curious... but whats best guess on how many spectator bikes were at Paeroa on Sunday. A mate and I were discussing it but could not agree.

    I guess around 4000


    Great day by the way and congrats to Paeroa for staging this.

    I would guess at no less than 3,000 - 4 certainly not unrealistic. I reckon this year must have been a record turn-out. Roll on next year!

    Numbers

    Ask Forbes & Davies how many catalogue's they deposited on bikes as most I saw had heaps of flyers / advertising left on them.

    50,000 people would be a few more than I would have estimated but a great turn out none the less.

    An aside topic - anyone know of any bike accidents on Sunday? If not a credit to all riders and well done.
