Couple more pics from today. The ones of all the bikes in motion didn't work out, but as a consolation we have a nice pic of Gray_RM's pride and joy, and ty in action on the bridge

Wooo!
Good work everyone, was a good turnout and already seems to have been quite successful.
Dave - Was that you who stopped in the middle of the island at North Sydney? Hahha, nice.
We had lots of people walking over the North Sydney over-pass stop and ask us "what IS the toll for bikes?" and we say "It's the same as a car actually." and they'd say a variation of "What!? That is ridiculous. Good luck guys.".
So that's really cool.
A photographer from Sydney Morning Herald was on the overpass with us and got some good shots he said.
Also said it will make good TV footage because of the movement, colour, sound, etc.
Thanks for the horns and engine revs too, haha.
Now we just wait and see how channel 9 decide to spin the story; the camera guys were friendly enough though, and the reporter was very nice... oh yes.
Was great to see most of my friends again since not having a bike, and was great to at least be on a bike again
Pillion... but still fun.
Will post a few stills I got and the vid. footage from the Rocks and off the overpass.
One last thanks to the cops for being fair and letting us do our thing, while still maintaining order and blah blah blah. l'm sure everyone agrees it was a nice change from them defecting our bikes.
Cheers
James
PS - Didn't see you anywhere Frozzie?

ZXR"900" - In pieces... again.
Another engine gone but at least the purple and pink are still there, oh yeah.

I did, he was with the oroadsports group, we had a shipment of utipast and rim strips organised
Uuuuh okey cool.
Did anyone record the news? I missed it too.
Though I was part of the fake back-drop (on the BACK of a SPEWI... ewwwi) while the gorgeous reporter did her sign-out stuff.
If none has any objections I might snipe the photos which come up so far and keep them together in my gallery? With credit for who took them and where I got them obviously.
EDIT --- Changed my mind actually; too lazy to snipe the photos.
Haha.
If anyone isn't savvy / motivated enough to upload there photos to some online service you're welcome to email them to me and I'll put 'em online.
