National ride updates

Here's another ripped from youtube, particularly impressive because I make a brief appearance on it. No idea who the camera man was but thanks mate.

the first thing that comes to mind, why not? they are ignoring the accident record of cyclists, rugby players, skydivers, rock climbers, pedestrians, elderly, people who live in houses........ Sorry nick, but if we as the public can pay the full cost of all these accidents, then we as the public can fucking well pay a significant portion of any motorcycle accidents, also whats with the 5044 claims number, the ACC wiki only shows 3173.

Nobody every mentions boatees.They drown like drunk dolphins.


There were a pleasing number of citizens that came out to their farm gates etc. on the Kapiti coast to give use a wave as we rode past.

The bike in front of me had it's rear tyre deflate on the motorway over bridge where SH1 meets SH2 at the bottom of Ngauranga Gorge -worst possible place,poor guy.

One chap on a Harely did a burn out on the Stadium Parking spot and has ripped a 300mm wide x 10mm deep hole in the protective surface. We may have to pay.... grrr

I will post some pictures

i saw a decent patch of what looked like oil on the way back. it was near the massive ass skidmark, which im assuming is the one thats damaged the pavement. pity that some people have to potentially ruin it for others.

would the news crews be willing to give their footage for the dvd mentioned earlier? could make a whole bunch and sell them and raise money to repair the parking lot if needed that way. i would love to own a dvd of the day, from the meet at sanson to BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT to leaving the stadium.

A commemorative dvd, what a good idea.

just had another idea: footage from the other bikois... hell, even photo slide shows would do if there was no tv media present.

Agreed but ALL TV stations are apparently unable by some copywrite bullshit (bulls shit bull shit bull shit) that they cannot release anythiung they have not publicly broadcast

Looking out my window at work today in Cambridge, still lots of bikes on the road heading home that I recognise from the bikeoi, like the hawaiian shirt guys (good on ya'). Safe travels to all still out there.

I'll put my other hat on

Talking of hats, man I so should not have shaved my head the day before....

Woke up this morning and my head was glowing brighter than rudolph the red nosed reindeers nose...Took so much care to drink water like a camel but forgot about the noddle lol.

damn, that sucks big time! i wonder if we combined what they did show with the footage taken by riders, both photos and video, and maybe even scans of newspaper articles etc, would there be enough to fill a disc? course, we would need someone clever to put the whole thing together and maybe run credits along the bottom? like [video shot by... photos taken by... footage courtesy of .... news etc]

Hey Rustic, I am glad I wasnt the only numskull to forget to SLOP on the sunscreen, didnt think I had gotten much sun managing the bottom of the stadium stairs but man have I suffered with a very red forehead and cheeks (Mr tomatoe head according to my beloved)
