Flame suit on....

Ehhhhhh, that don't sound smart idea.
1. Breaking the law.
2. Pissing off joe public.
3. Irritiating police.

I was contemplating dragging myself out of bed for this ride (I work late, and am generally lazy), but I don't like that idea enough that I'd probably give it a miss.

Technically running a red light, emotionally getting car drivers off side, we need their support also.

Typical Fucking Honda riders. One has to wonder.

One has to wonder.

Now now Shadows, no need for that, Honda riders are already so fucking wonderful, we don't need any more wonder at all

Took part in an anti-type-approval ride once in the North East of England. The police held up traffic just long enough for us all to get off the starting site (and pulled up the few riders who thought they'd throw an anti-helmet protest into the mix).

In the interest of safety, you'd think they'd lend us a cop for ten minutes just to help get things moving.

Like the idea of heading north together first.

haha, play nice! we aren't all bad!

Even bettera but will take longer. Get everone to ride north up the motorway to the Tram Road off ramp

a good idea as it will help spread the bikes out aswell... comming back done the M/W rather than mashlands rd would be beter tho.

PS: might only be 5 of us/you's tho

Looked a great sight with so many bikes turning up. Couldnt be on it today as i was looking after the kids.
Only thing i didnt like about the run was people turning up to the meeting point at the start. I lost count of how many bikes that didnt indicate when turning in to the Peg carpark, cars avoiding bikes not indicating and bikes without working brake lights.
Was a nice sight to see the road blocked to let all the bikes out, i dont think the public realise how many bikers there are in NZ.
I hope the rest of the run went incident free and it will hopefully help get the message across.

Should have had signs up so people knew it was a protest. Looked great none the less.

Pics?

I'm glad I put new coolant in the other day is all I'll say! Very slow crawl through the city.

Couldn't hear the people talking at the go, y'd think Cosgrove would have a loud hailer in his car for impromptu vote grabbing.

Great to see so many bikers out there doing it, bugger for the guy getting a ticket on the motorway, whatwas that about? And looked like somebody might have come off just before the end of the motorway, plenty of people going running down the bank for some reason anway so I didn't bother to stop.

Also good to see plenty of young'n and newbies, I rode behind a chick on a scorpio through most of the city which even had an L plate, good job for keeping the law on our side people.

Here's a couple of pictures straight off the camera.

Great ride into town with so many bikes. Think they got the ticket for running a red. How did I manage to end up behind the 2 stroke puffing more smoke the hotter it got on the crawl into town. Shame there wasn't something at the end of the ride like a petition or something to send to govt. Oh well I guess the ride to Wellington will be better for that. Were there any TV cameras there today?

Yeah pitty when he did the same entering back onto the M/W that pissy pig chased him down and pulled him, fuck sakes the cops aint interested in helping so ya do the safest thing you can think of and get screwed over it.

as above and the running down the bank thing might have been a ruun out a gas stunt.


Knuckles... I asume you were the baldie with a crayon drawing on ya neck? good job man.

[knuckles24]

Yes that is me but it wasn't crayon trust me its ink, so who got the ticket, that is typical of the police they didn't want to help but had no problem giving tickets, what really pisses me off is that they new about it happening. A BIG THANKYOU TO ALL WHO ATTENDED, hope we made some difference.

Thanks for organising Knuckles!

Thanks for organising Knuckles!

Yeah +1 ON THAT

Not sure what the exact story is, but from what I saw, the bike who got pulled over on the motorway missed the exit to tram street, rode on to the grass in the middle of the motorway, then somehow tried to merge back into traffic.
