Uncle B seat unveiling and remembrance ride photos here.

Cheers Merv for the writeup, sadly i was unable to attend but looks like you all did Bruce Proud. Lovely photos too mate. And great to see BBNo1 with the KBers once again.

While not officially part of the ride, it was good to meet up with some folks at The Fush. It was good to see you on a motorcycle for once too, Merv!

And the "after-match" went off pretty darned well. The all-sorts managed to get in over 500km and a bit of good old-fashioned fussing from the lovely ladies at the Hunterville tearooms. And a better-than-average steak in Palmerston North.

There are some truly great people who ride motorcycles, and days like Saturday bring out the best in them.

The picture and inscription on the seat are perfect. The loss of Bruce is a very real reminder to me that things can go wrong for even the safest and experienced of riders.

Yeah the coprorate functions and lunches in our suits were getting a bit tiresome eh!

Mrs Hitcher made a similar remark to me at the Fush and it is a shame she isn't able to make the Sunday rides, which I make occasionally, so while I ride a bit (witness the photos I keep posting) its just not usually when you two are there.

Still the bikes kept rolling in. LB's mate the cop I was talking about last week was up there chatting to bikers - you know the one with the "SLOWDN" number plate.

I saw him today on my ride in to work. Man, I laughed and laughed. If I'd been driving, I probably would have pulled the cellphone from my ear for ten seconds to take a picture.
