We had it delivered in to work this morning. Will have a read of it tomorrow.

Picked up a copy this morning...page 10, awesome write up. Everyone gets a mention accept Dunedin, Guess it went to print before their ride was organised, the next issue should be way cool, might even have pic's? I better let Shane know where our 1st meeting point is, before Botany Honda.
Had a call from Demon Energy today, they said "Sorry, can't make it as all their Reps are working at a ig event somewhere else on that day, but let us know with plenty of notice, and we'll definitely be there next year".

Cool as, good try that man! I had a big talk to the Marketing Manager from Westpac Bank today, she is offering up a couple of hoodies and some other stuff TBA for spot prizes for our ride. She is also really keen to supply things like helicopter money boxes etc to the other rides as well as ours, she could not have been more willing to give.
She is also going to be helping get the message out to the media nationally by getting her press guru's to formulate an official press release supporting all the rides! I am buzzing, this is going to HUGE!
It is a Wire Rope Barrier that divides some roads around the country, it also is increasingly being used to stop vehicles running off the side of the road. It has the ability to sever human bodies into two pieces at speed, and heaven help us take arms off at 70 kph.

for more information mate!
I, off my own bat have managed to get two articles (albeit small ones - an almost direct copy and paste of my press release) in Motorcycle Trader & News and Kiwi Rider magazine, we have the deputy editor of Motorcycle Trader along on our ride. He will be reporting on the whole ride nationwide!
My first press release has been sent to print, radio and TV. Only Two national publications have picked up on it so far, both Motorcycle related. History tells us that a story is only good when it is HOT! So, I will send another press release out this week to more of the same publications/Radio/Newspapers/TV stations, this time it will be supported by the Westpac Bank! Cant hurt the cause and with any luck amplify what I am attempting to bring to the general public's notice! Personally I dont care when it appears, as long as it does!
I have moved the above posts, If you would all like to discuss the issue privately please feel free .. this thread is to discuss the intended ride posted

Can you please explain why 2 pages of posts have been deleted from this thread?
Was my post really that offensive, or did I possibly make an unfavourable comment about a personal friend?
From what I saw, KBers were having a robust discussion about the upcoming "WestPac Ride." Maybe discussion is now banned on here.![]()
Keep the shiny side upright, Rhino.
I dont think it is banned at all mate. Some of the points raised were valid, but, there were some things that were not constructive either. This ride is what it has always set out to be, a fundraiser for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter in Auckland. I have re-read this thread tonight and see that this very issue was discussed back on page one or two. Personally I cant wait to see just how much money we can raise for the helicopter!
Motorcyclists are a mobile population, personally I dont see any conflict raising money for ARHT on this ride. There has been plenty of time for people along the route the ride is taking to say, I want to do something locally, we would have been supportive of that, but it has not happened. I have a full list of the Rescue Helicopter Trusts the Westpac support, but dont have naming rights to, in New Zealand. If people are really opposed to giving money to Auckland Rescue Helicopter, I can give them the bank account details of the trust of their choice. They can then make their donation to that trust.
For someone to simply come on here at this late stage in the planning and suggest that the organisers of this ride were misleading people about where the money raised is going is not on.
Other regions in NZ have got together to raise money for their local Helicopter. There are 6 rides happening this weekend coming, 2 are raising funds for a Westpac branded helicopter, the others for their local helicopter.
Your post was not offensive at all, a few of mine got chucked out too...LOL
Look forward to your support this weekend!
its actually, will be misleading, most of your catchment donation area dont read through KB posts, or are privy to your organisation process, they will just see the flyer n the wall and shell out cash for what they think will be their (in Waikatos case) westpac helicopter rescue service, but if you cant see that........well like my pm said fine good luck I wish you the best.
All you need to do is give the Waikato donations to the local westpac service, instead your going to piss the local westpac heli crew off, not to mention the donators.
Youre WIN WIN (if only you could see it) is to support each area particularly if their name is the same as the one on your flyer.
Ive run out of fucks to give
