Nelson put on a great day on Saturday for a nice laid back ride.
To raise funds for the Summit Rescue Helicopter service.
About 200 bikes turned up for the ride.
I really enjoyed the run, firstly for the fund raising as most people know that the Rescue Service do a great job.
Attending rescues 24/7 and always on call when needed.
Nelson, New Zealand is a small town, but most riders what to give back to a worthy cause.
Jen Trow, did a great job orginizing the event.
"Old NZ police bike."
With an auction run at the end of the ride to raise more funds from items supplied from local businesses.
Bikers and drivers should support our local services.
St Johns Ambulance - which does a great job and couldn't do without. They are there on the scene of accidents big or small.
Westpac Rescue Helicopter - Who do the same as Summit Rescue Helicopter.
New Zealand Fire Service - which help to protect us in any situation. Weather it be fires or accidents.
The Police also for setting up road blocks for the riders to go through town and Ulysses Motorcycle Club for helping out at the event, great job.
Most of the rescue services are made up of volunteers and are unpaid for what they do and sometimes put their own lives at risk for us.
Plus hospital staff for the work to help people recover.
The Government needs to fund them a lot better as well. Bet they have used the service sometime in their lives.
So the $10 cost for the ride was well worth it, which also bikers support people with cancer.
See bikers do try and help community.
So come on and support your local charities.
Got the results from fund raising $7,000.00 not bad.
Big or small.
There is a link on this site that you can donate to.
Road Rat will be at the next run showing his support.
