BIKEOI Wellington

I can offer a couple of beds plus parking for anyone coming through, drop me a pm if interested.

Same, well.. a couch or two for a night. I've also got a spare bike (Assuming I get it re-WOFd in time!)

A viable meeting point on SH1 could be the Weigh station just north of Plimmerton. Plenty of space to line up the bikes and out of the way. Just need to get the ok from whoever. The southbound side which has just recently been completed would be perfect.

Maybe try approaching your local cop shop and ask them the right way to be pointed to?

Just rock up, you don't need permission unless there's signage to say otherwise. A large car club I used to belong to used places like weigh stations all the time for assembly points, no dramas.

Another choice for a SH1 meeting point would be Queen Elizabeth Park at Mackays crossing, plenty of parking areas, and just off the main highway.

The only problem with that is crossing over to get the bikes pointing the right direction .. a pretty dangerous piece of road.

I hear what you are saying but a quick ride up north to Airlie Rd, off on the slip road and then a standard merge back on heading South using the filter lane. Yes you would need to cross the Northbound lane but I'm sure we are all capable of negotiating busy intersections without drama's.
Just putting it up there as an option.

Get in touch with the Police in Papakowhai (spelling?) and see if we can use some of their car parks or w/e to use. That way, We can also use the Police to our advantage as an escort from there?

oops did not realise you were talking weigh station .. thought it was still mckays crossing

[Nasty]

but don't they have the underpass now Kari ?.but then I have not really taken a lot of notice .. as far as I am aware no need to cross the traffic you can merge with it either side now

There is no underpass ...

i am absolutely sure we will get lots of people I think had another protest in the mid to late 80s too,I am sure it was registration fees or something,it was a friday night.We gotta get notices in the bike shops as soon as we got a date,and surely that date has to be co ordinated with BRONZ..

+1 for any co-ordination going through BRONZ.. they might seem to be a bit slow on the uptake but they are the national motorcycle advocates

Well I was there in 93 (Still have the COM badge) would like to come along again if I can make it.

I have space for a few bods in Chch if anybody is coming up from the deep south. Does anybody work for rail-blue bridge and can get cheap ferry tickets?
