    We're not happy. You're gouging money from bikers. Where's it going ?

    Just what are we getting for our massively increased levies?

    We've been told that a bunch of grumpy bikers are planning to turn out to demand some answers : to remind Mr Smith that we're not happy. And that we're watching him.

    And to show him exactly what he can do with his A.C.C.

    When ? Sunday 27th June.

    Where . Central Auckland. Can't tell you exactly where just yet. because if we do, we might be able to have it there. And we're having it there, permissions or not.

    We'll update you with exact location , and game plan nearer the day. Sufficiently nearer that it's too late for TPTB to stop it.

    And some extra grumpy people may ride on to other places afterward. Not that we know anything about that. . (less than 20km, easy riding, and very legal., No speed limits will be brioken. Quite the reverse. )

    Be aware that getting into the location may be difficult for trikes or sidecars . Anyone planning on bringing one, PM me.

    Be aware also that we may probably be breaking some rules of some sort.. This meeting may not be totally respectfull. Or polite. So anyone that has major issues with keeping squeaky clean and rule compliant may want to flag this one.

    Some folk may want tp wear a mask. or balaclava. Or skull mask . We're encouraging masks and balaclavas. After all, it'll probably be cold.

    Probably be wet too. So if you're a wimp, you probably want to flag this one.

    Otherwise, if you're not afraid of getting wet, and don't like bending over and taking it (there's a hint there for you) , be there. Disrespectfully, and noisily.

    Central Auckland. Somewhere. 27th June 11am.

    Anyone that can lead a group from the outskirts, (West gate, Autobahn, Dairy Flat ? ,) please post up , so groups can get organised.

      I for one certainly won't be there. I'll be hanging with SloFox (he's my alibi for that night). Now, where did I leave my balaclava?

      Because they are to scared to create to much disturbance to the public?

      Or it's outside someones house?

      Just my guess

      Am interested in coming along, but am not interested in needing ta cover my face. Will it be that "Cold" that face cover would be advisable? With the BIKEIO, I knew what action I was backing, & was pleased with how is was run. Am ready for more serious action, but would like to know a bit more about it before joining in, OK? The BRONZ newsletter that I got via e-mail today didn't really let me know what I need ta know before joining in. Please Text 027 4534020 or PM me with the needed advise.

      So you want people to turn up to an unknown location wearing balaclavas? I guess I will avoid this one thanks BRONZ.

      It kind of reads that way. I hope not. If I'm going ta protest, I don't want ta be sulking about having ta hide me face. I would want them ta know I am coming and what for. If I believe in the action, then I would be happy to be detained for minor stuff. I wouldn't be hiding my identity. BUT, and it is a big BUT, I would need ta know exactly what I was put myself up for, and what the risks are.

      I am with you on this one. My face and name is fairly well known in the protest against ACC levy hikes and changes. I dont have a problem with that, I also stand for what I believe in. Cloak and dagger is not my style, more of a dark glasses and pocket knife approach for this gal. We can organise some fairly good chaos legally to make our point I would have thought.

      agreed, some of us are considering trips from quite far away, and want to know whats actually happening. Whats wrong with a slow ride through main streets or something? going all secretive will get you fuck all bikes.

      I don't know whether BRONZ see this whole thing as a joke or not but they would be well advised to note that there's many motorcyclists that are fast losing all confidence in them.

      Who is BRONZ??? He's made 6 posts on Kiwibiker and wants us to all go on a crusade with him.

      Where do Ixion or some of the more reputable kiwibiker protest leaders sit on this.

      Do mom, maha, caseye, fatt max, stoney and others know anything about this???

      Maybe all will be revealed closer to the time???

    When trying to influence the political process, it's very tempting to jump up and down and complain about injustice.
