Top effort HOG people, and thanks for having us along. Lots of riders had soft toys strapped to their bikes but this person was doing something a bit different..

Yeah! That's the guy that went past me and a number of other bikes and cages, doing around 120, just before the Aotea off ramp. Up until that point, it had been a calm, cruisy ride. There were a number of HOG riders that went past as if their lives depended on it on that stretch.

30m later they had to slam on the brakes as they need to get across 3 lanes to go down the off ramp.

Hey guys, thank's everyone for participating. Misssed last years run so it was my first one and so I didnt really know what to expect. Thought: " Ah well, 37 are signed up on Kiwibiker so there might be around 50 or 60 bikes"

50 or 60...yea right....Mwuuaaahahaha

Was impressed by the (mostly) respectfulness of others.

Looking forward to some more rides with you guys

Ahh yes they seem to have spiked in popularity lately ,although they don't tempt me over

seen some weird combinations of rear ends off corollas and ford escorts ,but most have nice loud motors on them

A big thank you to the organisers,excellent day,and this was my Wife (Angela) 1st ride

yeah mate - thats me messing with the lad in blue. Also I owe a HUGE sorry to "Hawkeye" - he had been a real gem and helped out answering peoples hows and whys leading up to the run, and some how being an "L plater" i ended up giving the lad a negitive feed back. I'd like to try and put this right, as it was a honest mistake. So to all that have been following this event and the massive support you gave it - I am a true blonde and I do apologize to "Hawkeye" - Hawkeye, so sorry bud.

Was a great ride and great weather.

I know its a bit of an ask, but I dont suppose anyone has a picture of me. Young guy, black quasimoto jacket, short hair, aviator sunglasses and a transformer soft-toy attached to my back.
I've managed to find myself in a couple of pics.
