This is a stupid fueling up question...

I've only only taken the new bike out on open road a few times and not sure how far she'll get on main tank and reserve.

I'm assuming there'll be a suitable place in Greta Valley, or would some people have to have a drink before then and just catch up after?

Cheers

A 600 Hornet? mate you will be able to do the ride 5 times.

[stevewederell]

You reckon? It sputtered a while ago at only 130km, some was open road the rest was commuting.

I think it's supposed to be 13/3L tank but only got 11L (last time) from main tank. so I don't know if I'll get 5L from reserve. The guy I bought it off said that he would start looking for a station from 200km.

I'll fill up out by the Peg and just see how she/we go. Really looking forward to it though!

Saturday: South Island, showers at first in the west but becoming fine during the day. Showers and cold southerlies in the east, may bring snow above 700 metres.

Sounds like its going to be heaps of fun.

Im definitely going to be there.

Fair question mate.
not a noob one
The Gretta Valley Shell shop is open 7am - 7pm - 7 Days.
Gayleen & Warren will be happy to take you gold after filling your tank.
Same price at the pump as Amberley....well was today when I bought some fuel.
Scargill Valley road is nearly clear of Ice grit, the only spot to be aware of is a section about halfway that is signposted to 50kph that as been resurfaced , has loose chip for about 500m, other than that ...ride safe!

No sorry, this ride has just been put togeather to match the Dorklanders, its KB organised ie: SuziQ and myself... sorry but if we were to supply badges we could run at a loss and that wouldnt help us, and sure as hell wouldent help the rescue cause.

Now remember why we are doing this ride... to help run the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, a service that us as bikers may have to use some day and as I already have then I can say you will be bloody thankfull for it.

Next is to pretition the wire roap barriers... once again something that we as bikers would prefere not to see used.

OK so, at the meet up point you will find me at a Nissin D/C 4x4 (also dangerous for bikers intro ya self sign the petition and hand ya donation over to SuziQ, then we will take a wee spin... cheers

There were a few words shared about getting badges or pins made to sell on the day. Even though we are sort of "Dorklanders" we decided as you state not to go to the expense of getting something made that would cost money, and potentially take money away from the people we are raising money for. We are in this for the love...not the badge.

[Mr Triple]

I'll be there rain or sunshine, it's a good cause you never know when you may need it.

[kram]

thats cool was asked to ask have done that no prob from me. as said i have had the missfortune to have a ride in one a few yrs ago( westpac chopper) and know how grate the service is that is why i help. have been out and got some of the forms today hope to get the rest have put out tomorrow will hand on to you on saturday. remember a day out on two wheels is better than a day of two wheels

I will be bringing a small box of badges for those who want them. They aren't flash but still a momento for those who want them.

Only $2 - that is cost price so no profit being made, unless one of the organisers want to take them off my hands at cost and sell them for more with profit going to westpac heli.

Badge is an angel on a motorcycle (very appropriate I reckon!) and the packaging has "Never go faster than your guardian angel can drive".

If all badges sell out then names, addresses and gold coins will be collected and I will get more and mail them to everyone (CKMC will pay for all the postage).


Hope for good weather! See you there.

Thank you very much mate - the badges sound awesome. i will have my $2 ready for one.
The ride is still going ahead and hopefully the weather will not be too bad. I have spoke with Willy from the waipara pub and he and a few mates will be meeting us in Belfast. I will take my camera so we can have some photographic memories and there will be some reporters sniffing around - all good. I have managed to get a few more prizes from Westpac, so we will be running a "raffle". When you pay your $10 you will get a raffle ticket. the raffle will be drawn at either the Greta Pub or the helipad. We have some great items. I have 25 plastic helicopter moneyboxes and it was suggested we try to attach them to our bikes - not sure how that will work though!!!!!
We will now probably arrive at the helipad (Garden City Helicopters) between 1:30pm and 2pm.
Looking forward to seeing everyone and to raising some serious money for a seriously good cause, also raising awareness of the Cheesecutters. See you all tomorrow.

I will be showing at the meeting place - as for the ride I will have to see as it's the gfs birthday and I'm sure she wants other things getting done (like shagging ) so badges and the name collecting list for more badges later will be done by Mark aka Kram.

Just look for the fellow with the flame victory, or the nice honda with four shiny but not so shiny pipes
