    Anyone heard about a "Slow Ride to Welington"?

    This is what popped up on fb but can not find anything more. And what, apart from the ACC general rip-off is this about??? And that is supposed to be Wellington...

    Yes, we're working on it.

    September 26th. Thursday seems to be the one at the moment.

    Details not finalised yet, but the idea is to congest traffic with a large amount of motorcycles, helping to raise awareness of how many of us there really are out there.

    I'll get more information on here as soon as I can.

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    The idea being that we eventually lead up to some kind of Bikoi type event before October 15.

    Read the press release from BRONZ that I've posted and you'll get a sense of why people are pissed.

    in New zealand being pissed means they will be too drunk to ride their motorcycle, where are you from?

    I don't know if it's just me, but I generally try to improve peoples perceptions of riders, instead of being a pain in the ass to other road users.

    I'd do the ride on my scooter, but the 'going slow' part would be a problem

    At times having top gear as the only gear can be a hassle.


    As for the ride itself, I think the public would simply get pissed off at the riders rather than become sympathetic.

    And here I was thinking that the ride was gonna take a week to get to Welly... a little like when the farmers went down with their tractors!

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    Jeez Graeme, I'm shocked you don't recognise me. I mean, I've been in your garage and all.

    All the way from Stokes Valley mate. Now resident in Upper Hutt.

    Ordinarily I'd not be one to advocate rioting, but since you mentioned free beer you now have my attention.

    How are we to allocate this beer - a six pack for every smashed windscreen, 1 keg of Tui for every car we overturn?
