don't call me crazy, but
Might be a good idea to notify the police that this cruise is going to happen. If everyone behaves and they are aware of our intentions then they are likely to go easy and even help us out. When biker groups have charity cruises they often have police escorts. It would be a good exercise for police / car enthusiast relations, and also may help how us as a group are seen by the public.
That being said, i don't want to take away from what this cruise is about. Helping those in need over in Victoria.
I for one should be in attendance, and hope to see you all there too.
