...not a good idea to do this sorta thing when you're hungover and a tad tired.

Hmmmm, the photos I deleted don't show up there. Maybe I need to give it a day or something...oh well, all should be able to view them on Flickr.

Just got back to New Plymouth after a great weekend in Wellington. Note to self - don't believe the forecast, it always rains in Welly . . .

It was fantastic of Grub and Nasty to open their home to the travellers last night, and again for lunch today, though I left for home straight after parliament.

Quite a few riders made the effort to travel for the event. I met people from Hawkes Bay and Whakatane, as well as a fellow reprobate from New Plymouth and a lovely lassie from Wanganui.

Nasty did a great job of controlling kickoff from Mana, and the lane blocking people were really efficient at getting us all out of the carpark quickly and safely. Thanks chaps!

Riding down the motorway was awesome, with bikes in front and behind as far as I could see.

I've been in a couple of big rides, including 8,000 bikes at the Perth Christmas parade (which was a lunatic asylum on the move), and the ride today has to be the best behaved and most tidily ridden ever! I felt really proud to be part of it, and it was also really noticeable that the cars having to merge in and out of our stream of bikes due to on-ramps etc were really courteous to us and to each other. I witnessed on several occasions cars in the right lane slowing down to let through cars that had merged on to the m'way and got stuck in our lane.

The fantastic speeches from Col and Yungatart were exactly right for the occasion, and MP Marion Hobbs also seemed very supportive of our cause.

I was sad to see mainly sportsbikes there, with only a handful of Harleys. Perhaps when they fall on to cheesecutters, their shiney new HD branded gear gives them immunity from slicings and mutilations. Anyway, whether riders turned up this morning or not, I'm hoping everyone made the effort to sign the petition.

Big hugs back at ya Col, you and your team did an exemplary job and you can all feel really proud. Because I'm too old and knackered to drink these days, I'm raising my mug of caffiene free tea in salute. Cheers, guys and girls!
