Cool mate, will see you there.

Do we have to register for this one or do we just rock up at 9am and take it from there?

Just rock up. Simply follow the stream of bikes heading towards Karaka.
No food at the startpoint, but loads at the destination!

Can anyone help Nina out?
I can't because I have never taken a pillion before and I do not have the experience to try it for a big ride like the westpac heilcopter ride (or any ride)- plus my bike is too small for 2 girls!

Nina is saving hard out to go for her learners and to buy a bike of her own - she is keen as to get her own wheels, but obviously this won't happen before the 6th March

**Ladydragon** · 15th February 2011, 20:50

If anyone could help me out and pillion me on on the ride i'd be able to get a ride to their place no trouble so they wouldn't have to pick me up.

Thanks

Nina

Yep, I'll ride with you, so long as you promise to let me at the pie warmer first. Blue GSXR1000, dumb looking old fart on it.

We arrived at Karaka a bit late this morning (9.45) and we parked at the back. Was nice to meet some fellow KBers - Old Steve, Nasty, Fatt Max (my husband calls him the pie man), Tink and her partner.
Was good to see some WIMA girls there too.
(Sorry to the random guy that I was sure I knew but apparently not. He looked a little nervous

)

Was a fun ride, the biggest group ride I have ever been in. The weather held out until the ride was finished, and only rained as we were all getting food and coffee.

Went to the bike thing in Devonport after but didn't stay long as Mr Hellokitty wanted to go to my parents as it was lunchtime and they have better food at their house then we have at ours hahahaha.

Did anyone else go?

I don't think they'd let me join in the MX5 either, so I guess I'll have to miss it this year.

Hey there Edbear, was a damn fine ride this year, about 1000- 1500 bikes I reckon.Well behaved motorway cruise with two patrol vehicles in attendance creating our very own fast(90-100 K) lane.Hard work on the wifes little 400, but worth it.
Missed almost all of the rain, copped a few drops going through town, was about all.
Both choppers involved in work activites so only one showed up on the way to a job, gave us all a head nod and shot through.
A credit to Sis and the rest of the Ulysseian's who organsied, marshalled and produced this year, thanks guys and girls.
Had a blast riding witht the Fat Barstards Motorcycle Club, cheers Max.
Caught up with some old friends and overall had a damn good morning ride for a brilliant cause.

I think I saw you there but you were far away, I had already chased Mark (Fatt Max) and did not have the energy to chase anyone else - running in motorbike boots is hard
