So as some of you may be aware, my little boy has Autism Spectrum Disorder, so I'll be on this ride to raise money for Autism Awareness. If you'd like to join me, please add a comment to this thread. Perhaps a short ride afterwards is also in order?
If you can't make it, then perhaps you can assist with spreading the word to help with donations...

Thanks!
Hey Goldy, my 6 year old boy has it too, so i"ll be donating and going on the ride . ;)
I know this is a Sunday Nick but I will try to get this day off as I think you ( and your family) deserve our support.
I'm sure the rest of this community will chime in and support you too!

Am a definate Nick, especially now that my metro sexual man friend Mmick is trying to make it as he stole the show at Rob's ride for kids with cancer....... [thumbsup]

Don't worry Mmick, I won't forget my trusty Iphone [evil]
Pretty sure that I can drag a few more along (you all know who you are) [coffee]
Nick where and when are you planning this ride [Dolph]
as a father of a disabled child if the timing works I would like to contribute [thumbsup]
Course I'll be there. [thumbsup]
Ride is on the 22nd April, the Rocks to the Shire... More details closer to the date..
It's not my ride, but a fellow parent who I have not met, but share a common interest with, so why not!
Appreciate the support of anyone who can spare the time or a few dollars.
Cheers
Nick

Nice day out Goldy........! Here a few happy snaps that i took.....But there seems to be a certain familiarity re all the pics......
I have no idea why, but Mr Whippy "just happened" to be waiting for a certain sweet toothed Central Coast celebrity who sniffed out the icecream van within minutes of arriving at Bald Hill
Looks like he has gone for the chocolate nut sundae with sprinkles [thumbsup] Dam good choice Mark for the mystery celeb !

From bald Hill to Engadine Park, Monsieur Whippy was hotly in pursuit of "you know who"......
Yep, there again for a refill

(http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/ac55/braando54/AutismRideDay011.jpg)
Then sent his son Kurt over to buy him another

Autism Ride Day 012 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_blrtLNCgM#)
Don't be suprised if that Ice cream Van is lurking up around the Central Coast in two weeks time for the garage bash... [roll]
Geeze Bwian,
I'm sure someone has a picture of you scoffing down a lentil cough*bullshit sausage sanga.
Just like to thank Goldie for the invite.
Mmick
Big thanks to all who attended and donated (and a specially big thanks to all those who did both).
Nice to see us representing the marque, and good to see a lot of people I haven't seen in a while
Awesome day, awesome group of people. Give yourselves a big pat on the back!

I wish!
The whole day seems to have gone pretty well (just got home). Fog in the morning and some rain on the North Shore on the way home ... all in aid of a good cause. Well done Goldy for getting this bunch of rabble together.
Nice day !!!! with the Monster dudes . I think i'me bias, reckon the Monster riders were the coolest ! ;)Had a lot of fun.Looked like around 60 bikes. Thanks Nick :)

BTW, they have surpassed the goal - raising over $10,000 (including money raised on the day)
Well done and hearty thanks to all who helped out. The Bronster, Nemo, Dory and I very much appreciate the support!
Welcome.
It was a great day out and your first real ride since the broken wing I believe.
All the blue singlets looked excellent on the road.
I have already been thinking about next year and how to promote it. ;) [thumbsup]
