Jimmy, the funds raised are entirely in support of the westpac rescue helicopter service.

Sunday's ride itself is not the important thing for mine. This one is about the cause.
The ride is all freeway, queen street and over the bridge whilst being shepherded by the Police (the bike cops donate their time) and the Ulysses club - and i can't tell you how much i enjoy being given direction by an old bloke on a leadwing in a flouro vest - but I urge every rider to come - buy a badge, chuck yer change in the bucket and support it - big time.

When your mate is lying by the road bleedin' - that big red and yellow sucker dropping out of the sky is a grand, grand sight.
They have 'scraped up' 2 of my Ducati riding buddies now.

I'll be there and drag along everyone I can. And it will be a hoot - that many bikes is a buzz - and we get the freeway to ourselves - 3 lanes of wall to wall bikes.

'Party on, Garth'

**Sparky** · 11th February 2005, 00:18

Well said Dave, so who is going?
Jaybee and I will be there and bringing a friend. Come on guys how often do we get the chance to be among that many bikes for such a good cause. Lets hope none of us ever need them but it's good to know they are there if we do.
See you all Sunday
