Three groups of White Ribbon riders are taking their motorbikes around the country to spread the message that domestic violence is not okay.
Wanganui riders stopped in at Upokongaro School to give children rides around the back paddock before meeting up with out-of-town riders and heading in to Majestic Square for the main White Ribbon march. The schoolchildren were excited to ride pillion on Triumph, Harley-Davidson and Ducati motorbikes, but they weren't fussy about the makes and models.
"I was nervous before I went on but I loved it and I want to go again," said Mya Mahoney.
All said it was their first ride on a motorbike - and all of them were keen for another go, especially Tremaine Lemalie who said: "I'm gonna get me one of those when I grow up."
