Was a good day all round i thought. Thanks to everyone that in some way organised this event. Ya did a good job. Thanks to everyone that came along. Not bad for a Tuesday.
Im glad that Transit came out and listened to what was said. Because at least we know that they know what we are about.
I would like to mention that we had the late loosebruce's family with us today. Many thanks for staying after the track day and being apart of this event.

Just want to say what an amazing job all those involved have done today ... well done 45 bikes is huge compared to the 21 registered ... the signs are fantastic ... what a way to get the message out there ... now I will prepare dinner and await the return of the Grub .. who I think is still riding home from there.

Hey guys and gals, here is the Taupo Times article... opinions?

**MSTRS:Me** · 6th December 2007, 16:46

OKish. Typical in that some detail was wrong...the Transit guy did not promise investigations before any more installed, only they would look into our concerns.
Also, reporter could have made a feature of the issues that should concern all motorists with regards to the cheesecutters.
Still, at least it portrayed 'us' in a good light, so there's a success.
Thanks for posting MM.
