shall we park on the footpath outside?
how strong do you want the bike presence?

A BIG BIKER PRESENCE! BUELL WILL BE THE BUSINESS!! Actually the curator of the show rides, her brother used to race... yes just park up on the footpath - there'll be alot of strafing art goers and you will have a little audience because they can't smoke in the gallery so they spill outside onto the street...how handy...

good times.

Is that the one that's manned by a bunch of Asians?

I use to go there in the early mornings for a pie, usually after a gig, until they mysteriously closed down.

My mates use to give me shit for eating there because it apparently has a 'C' hygiene rating. I never bothered to look and plus, I never got sick!

yeah - when I was a broke art student I used to get a bun from there and an orange juice every day for lunch - cost about 1.70 all up! same thing friends totally razzed about the low hygine rating - but they had that cool flourescent sign in orange and blue

**more_fasterer** · 1st February 2008, 12:41

That sounds like it'll be pretty damn mean to watch. See you there

**surfchick** · 1st February 2008, 15:28

wihoo ... a few hours to go

the footpath is pretty (very) wide in front of it and the post office shuts at five so probably just angle park in a row out front there

**gijoe1313** · 1st February 2008, 15:54

I guess I can make this little soiree! 6pm huh? Guess I should start riding now! Hehehe .... any excuse for a ride!

HY BAKERY FTW!

Never met a person who got sick eating there but they did eventually sink to an all time low of an E food rating at one point.

Not really a suprise to see a bunch of dodgy bikers admit they hung out on dodgy K-Rd is it

Bloody cool exhibit. The massive screen and the v-twin roar pumping out was quite hypnotic. Makes watching youtube vids of tracks days seem so lame in comparison. Wish I could ride like that. Better get to some trackdays and hone the skills.

Clever with the split across the 2 walls. Well done.

I found myself leaning and almost falling onto discotex at one point (nope no booze and don't fancy him either)

**white belt** · 1st February 2008, 21:46

Greg and I (littleman and Rachel) went to have a look. Looked great! especially when it was timed right, pity that it over heated towards the end, but even off time it was good

. Well done. Sorry we did not see you.

**gijoe1313** · 1st February 2008, 22:51

T'was a good exhibit! I got to learn the route and see just what the course is, since I've never been on a track day yet!

Was a ton of peeps in the main foyer when I left just after Discotex and Paturoa! And the fancy sparkling mineral water was a bit ... meh meh, next time drink the plain cooler water!

Thanks for the invite Surfchick! I likey these arty-farty things, got to keep my English teacher credentials up!
