Top stuff dave(zx9r), I'm downloading it too - saw myself in amongst some bikes in one of the bridge shots of channel 7 - just the front of the bike really. Small enough shot that I went 'look there's me!' and the missus goes 'what! where?'.
I was too busy looking for myself that I missed anyone else though - and I watched all the channels' coverage :oops:

If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.
Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, then beat you with experience.

Edit: As davezx9r mentioned, Dave#3, Cath and I were right up the front of the start of that footage. I didn't notice a green zx9 though and I don't think any of our members that came had one either - just Richard's green zx6.

Very sweet!
What a day! That was a lot of fun - although I agree with Ty - where the heck were we supposed to ride to? Most riders took the Falcon St. Exit, and I was in the wrong spot - about to do a dash across lanes (illegally) and saw a plain-clothes car - thought better about it.

What was the upshot? I missed the news - although great shots posted here - what stars 8)
How many people from KSRC turned out? Seemed great fun to me!

You were ment to ride to North Sydney Oval after going over the tunnel (edit: Tunnel? Wtf, I mean BRIDGE...).
That's where Channel 9 read the article (under the bus stop) and a few of us sat behind to make up a backdrop.
That's also where the South-bounders regrouped to head through the tolls together and create a bit more exposure before going home.

Was a great turnout - woohooo for everyone and Wooohoo for MCofNSW's unreal organisation!
As well as getting our message out there, this should also boost everyone's (both riders and the public) confidence in the councel even more.
Haray!
ZXR"900" - In pieces... again.
Another engine gone but at least the purple and pink are still there, oh yeah.

Now there's tautology! :P

More like an oxymoron... :lol:

I feel like the moron... Thanks, that's what I meant, Ment. :oops:

I have the footage, but nowhere to upload it for others to view.
It's about 150Mb...

TEST..... Trying to add post to "Sydney Toll Protest" thread after having my KSRC account fixed. The subject line keeps going blank so I hope this gets posted in the right place.
