"find yourself some of the 1981 springbok tour protest organisers. they did a lot of this very successfully. Although regrettably I suspect a lot of them are now 'respectable' professionals"
Respectable perhaps, respected? well, thats another story, then or now.
Keep up the good work Ideli.

Every day above ground is a good day!:
The smirking chimp look was in full glow today as John Key was confronted by a group of motorcyclists during the opening of the Whangamata Marina.
Around a dozen bikes from the BOP and Sth Auckland stood betwen Mr Keys' chopper and the event and heckled him as he crossed the road.
Mr Key was asked why his ACC Minister was not in posession of the facts regarding motorcycle accidents: he declined to answer.
Mr Key was then asked if HE was in possession of the facts and he seemed to indicate that he was but again declined to comment.
Most of the crowd standing by supported the protestors and some stood with them.
Three of the bikes then followed Mr Key into the Marina and waited patiently as the Marina dignitaries opened the facility. However, once Mr Key started to speak, the three started their motorcycles and revved them enough to disrupt his words considerably.
A few of the locals were upset with the bikes but for the most part there was little anger to be seen.
Two policewomen politely asked the motorcyclists to move on and without complaint or argument: they ssslllooowwwllllyy put on their gear and left the event revving their bikes as they passed Mr Key plus beeping their horns and waving at the crowd.
Mr Key was advised that he would be seeing a lot more of New Zealands' motorcyclists.
Once again the media disrespected the Bikers and even though the Marina story was on the 6pm News: the protest was ignored by TVNZ and TV3 who pretended it never happened.
Targeting the media directly would seem to be the next logical step
Well done guys and girls,the media might take some swinging, be easier to simply swat em out of the way and create our own media.U Tube is free and how many kids don't watch it?
Every day above ground is a good day!:
well done guys
but ,,,
why wasn't the word out, so that you could have hundereds of bikes
if he had seen that many he wouldn't have landed
civil obedience causing political distruption
if you know of any MP visitations spread the word
I cant help thinking that we missed an opertunity
Actually it wasn't an opportunity missed; it was an opportunity taken.
This is essentially an ambush thread and as such will pretty much always be made up of smallish groups.
However: I'd like to hold a meeting ASAP so we can discuss strategy and find willing helpers.
The protests over the weekend were a good next step after the Bikoi so we will see what changes in discussions between Govt and our representatives over the next few days.
If nothing changes; we will have to look at going up a level.
Just my opinions on these.... if deleted out of the original post, then they "appear" to be OK....
[*]Laxi:
I'm for doing laps of MPs houses starting at say 11 and go until 5, louder the pipes the better.
Careful about noisy exhausts. Subjective test could be used to green sticker bikes out of it....as well as a fine and demerits.
Indian Tiger:
Slap on some L plates to the back of your bike and ride down the motorways at 69 kmph using all the lanes. One or two bikes with learner lisences in the midst of us and we're teaching them how to ride "legally".
Good....., but dangerous - impatient people pushing through causing accidents/harm to riders?
Also holding up traffic/hindering traffic flows on highways can be cause for a ticket...?

edit: you might position a bunch of bikers outside the exit gates and all waggle a finger at him.
Possibly arrested for Disorderly behaviour.
Sidewinder:
is this one legal?
a burn out with a pocket bike on the roof of acc in te rapa hamilton, but my work lader wasnt big enough lol
If its a carpark, its a road.... sustained loss of traction, bike impounded, you arrested, loss of licence.
Just some thoughts.....
And you think you a re going to find a motorway in Dorkland where you can get up to 69kph without splitting?Slap on some L plates to the back of your bike and ride down the motorways at 69 kmph using all the lanes. One or two bikes with learner lisences in the midst of us and we're teaching them how to ride "legally".
Seriously, holding up motorway traffic in Auckland isn't going to work. Most of the time it's so slow you CAN'T hold it up, when it's not there's not enough traffic to make it worth while.
A slow ride on Tamaki Drive might work? Maybe we could get the cyclists on board for that ?

Dodgy ground for the cops too, though. They'd have to push the arrests through to a prosecution, and proving "disorderly" isn't as simple as it sounds. LOTS of union background and case law on that .
And would they REALLY want articles in the press "Hundreds of bikers arrested for finger waggling " ?
Don't forget how intimidating bikers can look to outsiders. A line of 20 bikers, doing nothing , just standing, all in black leather, arms folded , staring, is real scary for people who don't know what sweet gentle souls we are.

It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
