  • MAG-NZ Launches in New Zealand

    It is with great pleasure we announce the arrival of MAG-NZ to the biker scene in New Zealand. While our official launch date is October 3rd 2010 we have launched our website today and invite you to come in and find out a bit more about us.

    www.mag-nz.org

    Motorcycle Action Group of New Zealand (MAG-NZ) has been formed by bikers, for bikers and promises a new era of meaningful and purposeful representation for bikers in New Zealand.

    As the name suggests MAG-NZ is about Action.

    As an organisation we are committed to upholding bikers freedoms, and resisting imposed restrictions and laws which impede those freedoms.

    We will do so actively, we will not passively accept the eroding of our legal right to ride. MAG-NZ believes that bikers themselves understand, and are responsible for, the actions that are required to ensure their freedoms. We will not wait for others to do our job for us.

    MAG-NZ believes there are 3 levels of action required;

    • Personal;
    • Local;
    • National.

    As an organisation MAG-NZ is committed to all three.

    We also see the sense in belonging to an international group, committed to similar ideas. MAG-NZ has the support and backing of MAG-UK and will use the resources this affiliation brings to ensure we achieve our goals.

    So, do not ask what MAG-NZ can do for you, rather, what can you do for your fellow bikers?

    Membership of MAG-NZ is open to anyone regardless of what they ride. You don't even have to be a motorcycle owner - if you simply have "an interest" in motorcycles or things motorcycling we welcome your membership.
    Join us today!

      BRONZ are still very much in evidence Bren. Read the website, MAG-NZ is definately NOT a politically motivated group.

      Was in MAG back in the UK, good to see it arrive here as well, will definately be looking at joining. Be interested to see how you interact with BRONZ though. What we don't need, it two competing groups taking support of each other. Are there any plans for cooperation between the two?

      If this can be a more workable or better option than BRONZ model I wish it well. I'm sure we all will.

      At the moment what I see is it making the situation worse by further fragmenting the numbers represented.

      The Ulysses club is the most quoted motorcycling advocate/spokesperson because they have the biggest membership.

      We don't need 'another' action group - we need one strong one. I don't really care which one it is - but the answer isn't in duplication.

      The Action Group have organised protest rides that BRONZ have supported in the past, I cant see any reason for that not to continue.

      The Action group supported the BRONZ Damn the Levies protest last year. I personally put alot of time and effort into the background of that ride, I know members of MAG that marshalled and spoke at their Wellington protests.

      Whole heartedly agree with what Big Dave said.

      Dependant on the approach it may be seen as 'just another group of munters'... I note there is a section on wire rope barriers, which are perfectly safe, yet there is nothing on rider safety or skills preventing riders from making contact with said objects.

      As BD, said its about strength in unity. Ulysses appear to have at least some 'street cred', Which I must join eventually.

      Good effort though and I wish you luck but it appears its just another group like BRONZ.

      Well I wish it well and hope that it can further raise the awarenees that we are, in fact, road users with rights.

      Have signed up with my 20 bucks, just remains to be seen if I renew it next year.....

      BTW Was it an intentional slight against the Waikato where all the provinces started with a capital letter except the Waikato????
