MDU and surfchick on screen in Wellington (30 August)

[Steam]

So whos going????? huh huh ????? who am I going to meet????? where we gonna park?????

I shall come. I like art and I like motorcyles. I shall persuade my brother to come too.

[Str8 Jacket]

If I come can I park the A inside? It'd fit nicely in a corner somewhere...

[Paul in NZ]

Hmm - just down the road from work.... Excellent!!! If time alows I'll try and drop by but I doubt I'll bring a bike - the parking there is non existent....

[surfchick]

righty tv3's nightline will be covering this event -

We'd love the wellington biker crew to be on TV- and get ya bike on TV.

the art event runs from 5.30 till 6.30.
we'd love it well attended by riders, the art is one thing, but actually real bikers riding around and parking up is alot more noisy and shiny!! the cameras will be hungry for images of the bikes

if i can get an idea of who might be arriving on their ride - we might be able to do a group circle of the small block that the film archive is in and arrive together

post back if you think you'd like to circle the block a few times and arrive all at once and park up - was thinking we ight do this just before 6.00 - can anyone make it at 5.30 ish to meet up with me and plan a weee block group pass-by?

[surfchick]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!

I have an "RF900 Super Commuter????". Would that be an upgrade - coz it sounds remarkably scooterish to me!

ha ha i had to make the rf900 sound totally suited to the task of lane splitting - rather than the corner chewing open-road-cruncher that it really is...

ps. the 35L top-box makes your asse look small actually
the breaklights are indeed a sight to behold-but i was glad you had them so as not to hit you when you evaded the bus...

[Paul in NZ]

Not wanting to rain on your parade (I love a good pun) but thats a bit of a horror place traffic wise to try and arrange a ride around the block at 5:30... (you mean the Taranaki st corner right?)

There is NO parking around the whole corner and it's very busy at rush hour. Trying to stop there would be a bit tricky and parking on the footpath is going to be awkward as well. The up side is most of the bad traffic is on the other side of the road heading up to the bypass...

There is a motorcycle park 200yds away on the Taranaki / Dixon st corner (by the vert bungy) but gym people always park on it after hours and I'd be reluctant to park a bike there after 6:30 due to the wonderful pub next door..

Maybe the council or Police could help??

Just a thought?

[Sparky Bills]

I see Motomart is sponsoring it..?
Id be keen if I still had a road bike

Cool - a metabus! I missed a bus and you missed the bus missing the bus! I know the RF's got a big bum and it is like the back of a bus in many ways.

You'll need to make it available on DVD, I'll buy one for sure, brave guys filming your splitting! No worries about the fuzz but if it was me I'd be cringing knowing some smartass at some stage will tell ya you shoulda gone harder! Hanging out to see this!

[Paul in NZ]

Went for a stroll down to the archive earlier - I'm not sure if the methodist Chuch across the rd is happy about it but they have a very handy car park...

Hmmmmmm....

[surfchick]

hi paul & co-
i'll see what the traffic is like outside today as i'm in the building all day till closing re. doing a few laps-hopefully our side of the street isn't **too blocked round 5.50ish- the film archive is keen to have the row of bikes parked on the pavement of taranaki end of the ghuznee st (on the total corner of the two streets) for the opening so they can be seen from inside their big cafe on the corner during the opening. because it's an event I'm hoping not to trigger the welly parking wardens as we will be well behaved and the bikes will be in a neat angled row. the pavement is really quite wide there...

that's so funny - yeah we'll get the beats about doing it faster -we did a pretty standard split for this version as its ***very public. but we also had 15k of camera cear in our backpacks so crashing was not an option for this

[jrandom]

surfchick, I'll give you a shiny dollar if you can strap a camera to your 996 and keep Frosty in sight from one end of the northwestern to the other at rush hour...

...closely followed by $21,000 of damage to be paid out of ones own pocket because the insurance assesor took a look at the footage and deemed tghe ride illegal and not covered...
