Westpac Rescue Helicopter Fundraiser!

[Jiminy]

Hey, that's a great idea. I'd be keen for the lower N Island ride.

[WelshWizard]

All being well I will be at Botany.

I want to tag along for the whole day too. See you on the day. Rain or shine doesn't bother me.

Where do I get a red arm band from ?

We made ours from ribbon I bought at the local emporium. Ties on and leaves some trailing ribbon to flap around in the breeze as you ride along.

All good Jiminy, if enough Lower North Islanders can arrange themselves to do this is it will be awesome.

All being well both my wife and myself will be there, if the ride is at a reasonable pace between points
IE no more than 80 kph we will try to do the whole run

I have distance mapped out and the times I want to be in each city, the 'average' speed is 80kph.

If the weather is real crap, I may postspone till the following weekend, turn out will be 'not the best' if its a shocker.

Good Plan, Im in for the ride and help.
I will stick it on Sportsbike.co.nz to get our crew (HEY SOME ARENT ON KB LOL) into it.

cool idea Mark, see you there

i reckon a cooler idea would be to donate each regions takings to their respective helicopters, http://www.rescue.org.nz/tauranga/index.php as these smaller provinces arent nearly as well funded as the auckland region.

just a thought, either way i will be there

That was the plan, if I made it sound like all money raised goes to Auckland then thats not correct. Each Regional ride will be collecting for thier own Area, What I am doing is for Auckland only. If at any other time, someone wants to organise something similar out of Hamilton or Tauranga then I will support that. But a Hamilton collection (for instance) would have to go out of their area to make it worth the while. Thats the way I see this panning out. Bikers outside the Auckland area, do ride up this way, if they ever need a Rescue Helicopter? It will be the Westpac.

Good stuff Quasi.... bikers from areas outside of the nominated collection points can come in, thats the way I see this succeeding. I will support any future organised Rescue Fund Raiser ride form outside the Auckland area. I may need help one day by any of the Helicopters in the link that nodrog posted.

A couple of pm's have been sent to others in the Regions that can also do this, including the South Island. Yet to contact someone in the Lower South to organise that area. All this to take place on the same day and donate to the Nominated Helicopter of your choice. Where ever you may be, it doesn' t really matter, someday you may need the services of any Regional Rescue Helicopter...thats the message!
