Not a lot as far as I can see! What an awesome effort. I am really looking forward to June 28th. We all should be very pleased with ourselves here, this is a first, Nationwide for the same reason. The article in the Motorcycle Trader and News made my heart proud, we have gone national!

Only thing I would love is for you guys to get a big photo at the end of your ride that I can give to Shane to incorporate into the final article after the ride.

This isn't just n organiser responsibility. We are all doing this for the same cause. If you see someone doing something that will look bad on TV that night, give them an earfull. People thinking they are proving something quickly realise they aren't when bollocked by 50 different people.

2. Along the same lines, doing everything we can not to p*ss people off. Particularly around the hospital (an emotional place at the best of times). Bikes filling the carpark wil seriously p*ss off people there to see their relative dying of cancer so I hope the boys at Square Trust have it sorted.

Other than that it looks like its going to be a great day. Congrats to the organisers for your hard work in bringing this together. I look forward to seeing you there. I have a special interest almost hitting one recently: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...69#post1587769

well the chanceyy speech seems to bring out the best behavior on the other rides organised but with this one & the number of riders involved , can only hope that everyone gets into the spirit of the occassion & pulls their head in on the day ..

I will be checking out the situation at the hospital after manfield this weekend with one of the pilots .. but hopefully we can have a few marshals doing the organising of bikes on site again & apparently we have quite a large parking area that the security guys will let us into ..

yeah its scary stuff alright ..

No No.

I have tried the chanceyy speech twice now. First time resulted in a gsx600f flying into a fence and the second resulted in a vtr flying into a bank.

I think the chanceyy speech should be left to the professionals.

Shit Meanie, I think you mistakenly inserted the wrong smiley. Try another one or you’re sunk! This one might help.
