Do any Auckland folk know if they are coming down for this yet?

I would hope so, particularly since the Auckland motorway system must have freakin' kilometres of the stuff!!!

Hope I can make it.

Drag some mates along too, if you can Chris.
These tosspots playing with our lives need to see that we are serious and we mean business!

Will be there with bells on.

How many at this stage?

I'll be bringing up 50 electrostatic stickers relating to the campaign if anybody wants to stick one (temporarily) on their bike. See me on the white RD250 with a green Z1000 nearby.

It would seem that the HB crew along with MeekyMouse have picked up the reins of organising this. We've put in a lot of effort so far in planning to make this a worthwhile event.
BUT we need bums on bikes to make this work. How do we get a show of hands to gauge numbers attending??
