awesome day. yep.. For the best part of it. It went superb! Who on the commitee was in charge of talking to God about the weather? Overall, it wasnt bad weatherwise. Didnt actually get wet on the ride just some wet roads which slowed things down alot - but thats not nessaccesarrly a bad thing. Big ups to Lance for putting it all together. The lions for the help on the day.. The lunch was mint. Just need to sit down and work out what worked and what can be improved on for next year.

Good day out alright. Well done all those involved in the organising side of it. Nice catching up with the old crowd. Half way through the icecream already . Looking fwd to next year. And more icecream................May even get a chance to do road block duty again

Gingin popped in for a cuppa and Honda bit before he toodled off home.

Twas an excellent day, even a wee bit of moisture didn't dampen the spirits, also great to catch up with people i haven't seen for a while. Applause to the organisers -- well done. Have made a note to myself - take a bit more extra cash next time some awesome prizes were going cheap.
Thanks for the cuppa and bike bit Bones, We gotta keep these ole Honda's ticking along aye

[chanceyy]

Simply a great day , good to see the few spits did not deter riders and at least we missed the rain that made those nice wet road ... good to see ppl make the trek from outlying areas, always a great time to catch up with friends



Thanks again to Rabbi for the pillion ride

[Flynn]

Well, where do I start, the day was simply AMAZING

I know you'll all be wondering how much money was raised.......$$$6770.00 till now with a small matter to clear up, wow.

Thanks so much to those who came, (especially the large amount of people who were out of towners) entered and were fed, weren't the burgers, awesome, thanks to Melody's new world who donated the cube rolls for the steak.

Thanks also to those who bid at the auction, man didn't you lot get some bargins, like, ferry crossings for a car, 2 adults and 3 kids worth $600 went for $145, a brand new set of drawers worth $1100 went for $230, the weekend away worth $460 went to Cowboyz for $150, etc, etc, etc.

Special thanks to James (meanie) JS Kitchens, for getting right behind the event, he would have put as much time into organising this thing as I did, putting up with me going round, what do you think of this, how should we do that, phone calls, etc, etc. Without the support of Ashhurst - Pohangina Lions we would have been in dire straits, so a huge thanks to those guys too!!

Thank you to all who made this day the success that it was, I won't go naming people as I'd probably leave some one out!!

Hey this can only get better.

See you all and more next year March 5th, 2011.

And for those who couldn't make it today who wish to make a donation, PM me or www.givealotoflove.co.nz

Thanks

To all those that put heaps of effort into organising this event, you did a top job. Group rides arnt usually my thing, but i have to admit that i had an awesome time.

[Flynn]

A couple of things I forgot to mention..... Thanks to all for getting back safely, no spills as far as I'm aware, great. ANZA was dissapointed their trailor wasn't used

And of course, my wife and family who have suffered for the last little while while this has been organised and going on, thanks for your support and sorry for the grumpyness on my behalf


Does any one know who got the firewood in their mystery envelope???

[phantom]

It was me

Hey great ride, great scenery , although I had to get ahead of a pillion hunched over on a sportbike - I was starting to suffer from target fixation. Well organised and I have never been on such a well behaved group ride,

[fizzafulla]

[ScottL]

I wish to thank everyone involved for organising a awesome day, my mate and I came up from wellington on friday and made a weekend of it, We thoroughly enjoy being part of a great atmosphere and for such a great cause. We have aready booked our accommodation for next year.
If anyone has any pictures of the bikes leaving the square and heading up main st, Id love to see them, it must have been a awesome sight!!.
Again Well done to all! and hope to see you all again next year!!

[Meanie]

What a magic day, FMS
A huge pat on the back to Flynn and family, whos dedication to give a little back made all this possible.
Time spent organising and running this event was imense but in the end, well worth it.
A big thanks to all those who in the back ground were out drumming up spot prizes, donations and helping with the organising, without which we would not have had such a good result.
Another big thanks to the Ashhurst Pohongina Lions club who were simply awesome to say the least. they did more than they were asked and did it extremly well, burgers were great and were given out when we returned at a pace that was probably quicker than the ride itself Thier organisation skills and efficinecy was supreb. It needs to be mentioned that they supplied some of the items needed on the day, including the chiller and sound system. So to all the Lions club members there on the day and in the background helping to organise the event
A Huge thank you for the out of towners for coming to support us on the day, big turn out from down Kapiti, Wellington way i believe. I hope we can give the same support to you in time

Last but certainly not least, thanks to all the businesses and people out there who kindly donated to this charity event, especialy considering the financial pressure everyone has been under after such a challenging year with the recession biting many of us very hard
AFC motorcycles donated a very generous $1000 worth of gift vouchers and showed up with thier tent and three of thier finest bikes even when they had a huge sale on at thier showroom with the radio station there. Thanks Brendon, your generosity has been noted and appreciated

Please support our sponsers as we would like to have thier support in the future and thier generosity needs to be rewarded

Great day, great company and not one breakdown or even minor accident on the run
