ACC T-Shirt run

[scracha]

Nothing fancy. Just a Protest T-shirt run to wear over our leathers and mibby stickers to put on our c@rs.

Who's in?

What should be on it?

[Ice_Monsta]

No idea what to put on it, but i'd be keen to buy one.

[scracha]

No idea what to put on it, but i'd be keen to buy one.

How about.
"Suck my exhaust ACC. I'm not paying" ?

[SpankMe]

Might postpone the KB shirt run so this can get going. Happy to organize this if a design is sorted and numbers are there.

[MadDuck]

I would be keen. We must have some creative types on here somewhere?

[Cynic]

Are there any laws to prevent you from riding with your number plate upside down ? Would be a great visual protest especially if there is a protest ride of some description...

[sunhuntin]

id be in for one as well.

[Naki Rat]

Are there any laws to prevent you from riding with your number plate upside down ? Would be a great visual protest especially if there is a protest ride of some description...

Definitely a good visible protest. There doesn't appear to be any mention of which way up in the Act (http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1986/0006/latest/DLM90415.html), and I've seen a number of trailers with the plate mounted vertically.

[Thani-B]

I think its a good idea. Get the awareness out there. Im in.

[Katman]

'Bikers - saving the planet despite ACC's efforts.'

Might win some public support.

[firefighter]

How about.
"Suck my exhaust ACC. I'm not paying" ?

I'd have used a different word in place of exhaust.......lol

I'm in as long as it's not lame........

[Insanity_rules]

I'm in for a bumper sticker and t-shirt.

[Danae]

How bout simple pictures such as this with a slogan...

"Thank motorcyclists for your ACC payout!"
"We paid for that"

[Maha]

*ACC AIDS BIKERS*

We've just been fucked up the arse :rolleyes:

[chanceyy]

Might postpone the KB shirt run so this can get going. Happy to organize this if a design is sorted and numbers are there.

and I will be happy to wait Spank & get a fuck off acc t shirt instead

[nothingflash]

yeah I'm in so long as there's enough numbers for it to have decent effect

[Highlander]

"Don't look so smug mate, they'll be emptying your wallet next"

I think that would be perfect for the Protest T-shirt run :clap:

"I just doubled this bikes value"

I'd be in for whatever's going.

[SpankMe]

Design should be simple, clear and recognizable from a distance. This way bikers can just start wearing them over their jackets all the time and have it instantly recognized.

Not being biased, but a yellow symbol/letters on a black shirt does stand out.

[Thani-B]

Me too. And bumper stickers etc

[The Pastor]

It should be an acc themed high vis jacket - like the ones they handout.

And it should be something like - look out for levys

[pzkpfw]

"Fight fACCism"



(Not entirely accurate, politically...)

[QMOTO]

Hi guys, As you know we have a website which has the shopping cart etc, Im very happy to put in a ACC T Shirt Category so its easy for people to buy as well as easy to process orders In that I can take Visa, get addresses etc etc very simply.
I will do it at cost so only charges on top of the T Shirt will be courier and Transaction fees.
Im unsure who here knows T Shirt makers but perhaps once its sorted get them to contact me?

Just a thought to help out

[Hiflyer]

We can't really have any swear words or ass raping, all the nannas will be offended, just simple big-letter words.

ACC SUCKS? I dunno, I'm not that creative :Pokey:

[Warren]

T-Shirt?

We should all start walking around naked (or near naked) with "Can't afford clothes, motorcycle acc levy used up all my money" crudely hand painted on our torsos.

[craisin]

when polititions and ACC cant agree bikers are left to pay the fee

[sellywin]

naked protest on bikes, sounds good.. until we all get knocked off by a driver not indicating lol

[Leseid]

What about *ACCEDENT waiting to happen*?

or *I Love ACC* or *ACC Fan club* (reverse psychology works a treat)

Or on the front of the TShirt *I'm on my way to pay* and on the back *my ACC*

*ACC + Motorcycle= $2 a day*

[craisin]

red tape rape keeps ACC in shape

cheap transport stolen by a fairer system

[craisin]

and your running costs and maintainance on top off that

[bogan]

I would prefer one that had a reasonable argument behind it, some of these just sound like we are whining about paying for our own accidents.

couple of points on our side:
Why are they targeting bikers? plent of other higher cost activities
They are probly only starting with bikers, others shal be next
Its sposed to be a no fault system, yet bikers pay more

[bogan]

just had an idea, bar graph of costs of different activities, the bikers will be on the low side, but have a bulls eye on it 'ACC, makes perfect sense'

edit: am working on it now, paint.net should be up to it!

[Swoop]

Needs to be very clear and simple, like "ACC UNFAIR TO BIKES"?

Wear it over the riding jacket.

Count me in for one.

[chelseapar]

make low dollar helmet also?
shirt is free?
just no pay license. police no shoot for stop for NZ. Police shoot for stop for bolivia

ease problem fix

[retro asian]

Bogan's bulls eye idea stands out quite well

[SpankMe]

Bogan's bulls eye idea stands out quite well

Thats good. Just needs something showing that there are others sucking up ACC costs, not just us.

[bogan]

Ive made a start, but my photoshopping skills arent the best, Retro Asian's acc logo in the bottom right is a good idea, maybe someone can apply that to the bargraph, also got the xls file if anyone wants to have a go with a pie graph or summat.

EDIT, gahhr, what the fuck is that tooltip doing there :(

[Reckless]

Good Idea Bogan we need to put that graph across Retro's target.

[GOONR]

It should be an acc themed high vis jacket - like the ones they handout.

I'd def be in for a t-shirt and a bumper sticker, whatever it is it need's to be non-offensive to cagers, clear and concise just stating why it's unfair or we'll get even less sympathy for our cause.

[slick]

How about this?

[onabimble]

Good one ACC, doing this by CC and not by BHP or recorded rick factors is nothing short of a total cock up in my eyes.
They have hit the starter market, i.e SV 650's, ER 650's. Now these bikes are purchased by people with less funds available and more than likely new-er riders, the rise in ACC costs could take these people off the road all together. Maybe that's what they want. Kill off (so to speak) the new riders with pricing.
You really can't tell me an SV 650 is as dangerous as say, a GSXR1300 Busa. The 1300 has at least double the power! The main difference is 'IMO' Mr Busa man will more than likely have the funds to pay the extra AAC costs, while moaning the whole time like i am now!

I'm from the UK, (Now living in NZ) and i see this whole issue as nothing short of crazy. If you want to cut road incidends, the laws should be looked at as a whole. Get shot of the ridiculous turn left rule, that is the most stupid law i have ever come across. Bikes don't have self cancelling indicators, any rule that gives another peice if traffic the priority to turn in front of another road users path is just plain stupid.

While i'm on the subject of road, what's with the under taking rule, also very stupid. Get some lane discipline and get out of the FAST LANE. That's just it thou, what's the point in a so called FAST lane if undertaking is allowed. I've traveled through a lot of countries in my time by motorcycle and car. NZ is the only country that i know of that has undertaking allowed. Wake up NZ, wake up ACC. Speed is not the issue, 100kph draconian limits won't help! If you drove that slow in the UK on a main road you may well just be pulled by the Police as they wonder if you're over the limit with alcohol or on drugs.

I know i went a little off in a tangent but i do feel the above points are a cause to the ACC's rise. We, as motorcycles are getting the blame for this. No, don't believe me? Well what's the levy rise for then? I can't be the only one whos almost been side-swiped by an undertaking driver. If that had accured it's another KPI (key performance indicator) black mark aganist motorcycles! Nothing to do with the car driver being to blame, we will have to pay more next year! Where does it end?!

Get real ACC.....

In the UK i acquired over 10 years no claims bonus. That was riding R1's GSXR 1000's RSV-R's etc.

The new levies are nothing short of a metaphorical poke in the eye to riders!

I'm up for any proposed protests. Ideas of how to go about this is a sensible way? Let me know. Lets not get walked over.

How about a very puplic street ride/meet protest. Get one going in every city. Make it known to the papers ie, very puplic. Get it on the news maybe?

What do you all think?

[bert_is_evil]

just no pay license.

Without a rego you can't get a warrant, and without a warrant your insurance is invalidated

[bogan]

Without a rego you can't get a warrant, and without a warrant your insurance is invalidated

other way round, you cant get a rego without a warrant

[bert_is_evil]

Sorry if this has been suggested already but what about compiling a standard cut and paste submission that people can download, put their name on (edit if they want) and then email.

[bert_is_evil]

other way round, you cant get a rego without a warrant

In that case it's a no-brainer, as long as you don't park on the street where the wardens can snap you

[Gwinch]

Got a head start on y'all. I'll be wearing this to class in the evening every day for maximum exposure seeing as the motorways are packed with cars at that time of day.

[Papa Bear]

me and her will be there for the t-shirts and stickers

T shirts, emails chains are all very well but they will go largely unmissed. We need to get off our arses and get out there, make in as public as possible. By all means to the shirts and emails too.

I'd take a day off work if i had to for a puplic protest. If will all sit at home and bitch it will come to nothing. Six months from now you will look back at this and think, why didn't we do more.

I know i would!

[retro asian]

Slick's shirt looks cool. :clap:
Nice one Gwinch!:cool:

Instead of a bar graph, text is easier to read...
more rough ideas... Stats are made up, because I don't have any at the moment...

[onabimble]

As the man posted above, get the UK bike press involed. MCN, superbike mag, Fast bikes, two wheels only, ride.

Get the message out there.

this is a tshirt thread, plenty of others to voice about protests.

Nice shirts Retro Asian, i put the excell file up here on the last page (i think) with the stats from the acc website, road motorcycles make up 3.2% of claims as far as i can tell. I agree, the bargraph didnt reall work as well as I though, would a pie chart be a better idea? more of a visual comparision than with just numbers.

[onabimble]

Hello,

yes i do understand that. But i feel my points are valid all the same. Where to you suggest i post?

As this ACC issue is a threat to us all who cares what channel we use as long as we stick together and get our point across.

Thank you.

[retro asian]

Keeping it simple...

[Yorkshire Dave]

Sheesh! And I thought the British government was good at shafting road users! 200% price hike?! :oi-grr: Count me in for sticker & a tee.

Just my tuppence; If we're going to show claim % for bikes, I think it'd be good to show all the % claims across the board (like the graph above) so people can see how much is claimed by the other areas that don't actually pay a levy. Helps drive the point home.

[Swoop]

While i'm on the subject of road, what's with the under taking rule, also very stupid. Get some lane discipline and get out of the FAST LANE.
Stupid fucking kiwi drivers do not know how to keep left. Once again, it all comes down to the driver education for ALL road users, coupled with the cornflakes packet licences that get handed out after a "scratch and win" test...

But we all know the answer... "more taxes".

[MSTRS]

still looking for slogans?

[sunhuntin]

the graphs and target look great! also love the idea of using acc fluoro vests.

[mister.koz]

What about:

"I gave a pound of flesh to ACC for this and i had to buy my own t-shirt"

"Prove ACC right, ram me off the road"

"Back off, ACC's statistics include me"

"If I crash its because my tire bill went to ACC"

"Give me room, ACC says i'm dangerous"

"I had to give up two wheels to pay for 1 Rego"

[SpankMe]

good idea - sell the T shirts (or as i would prefer high vis jackets) on 1 day tee www.1daytee.co.nz

I'll be getting the guys at ESP (http://www.esponline.co.nz) to do them. They do our KB shirts.

[The Pastor]

yeah 1 day tee dosent produce t shirts, just sells them.

[jetboy]

I'm keen to buy a t-shirt.

[Insanity_rules]

Might postpone the KB shirt run so this can get going. Happy to organize this if a design is sorted and numbers are there.

I'll put my hand up for one!

[v8s&2wheels]

I paid acc $750 and all i got was one years rego

BIKERS SAY NO TO ACC LEVIES


ACC THE FINAL SOLUTION

picture with a rifle sights cross over a biker?

BIKERS AGAINST ACC LEVIES

ACC = UNFAIR !!

cant think of anything else, but simple is good, as little colour as possible = cheaper to buy

[kunoichi]

I'm keen for a shirt, plus someone should organize a rally if this crap goes through!

[kunoichi]

Oh and here's a good one!

ACC cover criminals in the act, but won't cover a legitamet road user...justice? i think not!!

[sellywin]

"ACC hates CCs"

They obviously are prejudice against us

[Danae]

Retro Asian, you is on to it! I like the target idea.


had a tshirt thought, have like a tank or summat rolling over bikers, show other stuff such as cars sports cyclist etc in its path, some slogan like 'ACC, bikers are just the begining'

I'll see what I can do :D

[motorbyclist]

stats on a shirt aren't ideal imho

modifying the ACC "look out for motorcyclists" vest - which acc gives out for free - is a much better way to send a big "fuck you" to those in charge


Maybe it's the National party we should vilify and not ACC.


Letter sent to leading new's paper in the UK to follow the story, let the world know....Out with the National party starting with John Keys then dispatch the rest just as fast, before they have us walking everywhere....:(

I do hope you realise that the only reason ACC is broke is that LABOUR increased a huge range of entitlements in their last term, clearly without considering the actual costs involved, leaving national to clean up the mess

[Reckless]

So we need to kick up a big ruckus so they don't send us bikers the bill for it!!

Its still National that is fucking us over!! And I help put them in????

I've had questions as to where to obtain these: ACC usually has them at any event they attend and they supply clubs with them too.

I know for a fact that Squiggles (president of the uni bike club) has several boxes of them and I should have some myself as "Safety Officer"

We'll be having our own drunken discussion and vis vest vandalising session this friday arvo (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=89282)

FUCK
THE
ACC


but maybe something less subtle.

[Danae]

i want a vest so I can modify it :2thumbsup

Ok I have so far got a tank running over a motorcyclist, working on a car ahead of that. This is all road sign style. Oh, and the ACC logo is stuck on the tank

man, i need moar ram...my laptop is struggling. But i am not switching off Muse!

sweet, if your avatar is anything to go by those other should be awesome, I'm gonna try and do something simple with those stats I got, not ideal to look at on a shirt but I reckon it's a point that needs to be made.

[kunoichi]

modification of the vest is a great idea! And it looks like Big dave might b organising a slow ride down to wellington, so all the bikers from other towns will do a slow ride to join us 1/2 way. I can imagine us all wearing this vest and do a slow ride down the north island!

[Del Fuego]

Ok, Im in. I think the Vest is a great Idea, but if a tshirt it is to be then the bullseye with the basic message is bloody great. Sign me up! and let me know how to procure one of those free vest things (or 3)

[Danae]

How's this? In ACC blue :2thumbsup

Any suggestions? Slogan underneath?

Imagine ACC-blue t-shirts with white image on top.

EDIT: PNG makes you download it. JPG it is for now

[Danae]

Hang on, I forgot to clean it up! Gimme a sec

[kunoichi]

great pic. I vote we put the ACC blue picture on the ACC fluro vests! that's a punch in the gut if i ever heard of one!

great work but to cryptic.........simple words in bold, no more than a few words total.

We are making a statement arent we, I think then make one and leave it at a bold simple statement.

[Maha]

ACC Tank wheelies are neither big nor clever.

[Danae]

VTEC just kicked in yo!

@Quasi: I want to stick a large bold slogan underneath that sums it all up

[retro asian]

There we go. Slogans?

Sweet graphics.
Love it how ACC are still coming up the rear :lol:


We should have T-shirts, vests, posters, banners, flags... the more stuff the better for when we take this to the streets!

[DidJit]

I think Gwinch's idea is right on the money. Take ACC's own "Look out for motorbikes" into "Look out for ACC levies!" Then maybe on the back of the shirt "Who's next?" with icons for rugby, cycling, horse riding, skiing/snowboarding... Might help getting non-bikers to think about their own recreational pastimes. i.e. "If it can happen to them, it'll happen to us!"

[sinfull]

OMG that car driver seen it coming and bailed !!!!

[Danae]

Who came up with this slogan first? Naki rider?

And I am so going to vandalise one of their hi vis vests

[DidJit]

How about shortening the 2nd ½ to "Your wallet's next!"

[Danae]

Aye aye :apint:

[Danae]

Oh yeah, Retro Asian, your ones would look good as a poster to stick up everywhere and anywhere :clap:

[Reckless]

Wrap the word National Party over the roof of the tank. I agree as posted its gotta be political.
The ACC are already saying not their fault they are just following the Law/politicians

And Maybe?? the car should be replaced with a rugby player

Looks good!

[Danae]

And Maybe?? the car should be replaced with a rugby player

Perhaps replace the pedestrian with a rugby player...would be easier lol :2thumbsup And maybe a national flag on the tank

[pzkpfw]

How about just "Who's next?"

[Reckless]

Just some initial reaction! You go with your ideas mate!

Personally think it should quite clearly read "National Party ACC".
They'll be scared we are wearing them NEXT election!! And we will!!!!!

[Danae]

I think it's looking too busy now...but i reckon the flag is lulzy

"Who's next?" nice n simple

argh shit, tis too, changed my copy, no point reuploading it though.

Getting a good range of ideas up here now, do we want to have one standard design? or a bunch of different ones

edit: i reckon different ones, but similar style and color scheme

[Danae]

Final decision up to SpankMe I suppose?

[Del Fuego]

I love this! however in a slightly anal point, surely the idea of the rugby dude is a bit off point? cagers are paying more to support the excessive cost to patch up bikers (or so acc would have us believe)... this means that both cagers and bikers are supporting all the muppets getting the sporting injuries... They aren't next, they should be first (charged first before us that is)?

otherwise bloody fantastic!

True true! Might take the rugby ball out...I guess the pedestrian refers to the population in general.

I'm all for this one :clap:

[h_tron]

so whats the plan? there are heaps of great ideas just keen to get one and get the word out asap!:banana:

[Quasievil]

Great work on the desing, I hate to sound negative (take it constructively)
that design as awesome as it is will be to much imagery and to much text............possibly to much even for legible print on a T Shirt.

Keep it simple is the best thing if its a message your giving out.

take for example a protest ride and photos in the paper....it just wont be a clear concise message.

Make it words only with like 8 -10 big Text characters only.


Just my advise.........given constructively :rolleyes:

[Reckless]

I'm all for this one :clap:

Dunno about printing t shirts with a registered Tui logo/trademark that not ours????

[Perish]

Definately in for the "T" idea if its not lame! The whole thing is a crock of sh1t. If were off the bikes, were prolly gonna be in cars then are we not? Especially in auckland, and some of the other bigger cities, this is gonna fu% traffic and the roads right up in rush-hour aswell.

Its just another way to pay for the polititions "massage parlor" addictions.

Creeps

True, true

I put Naki rider's quote into an image thing....can't re-attach, though. And too teh n00b to link to an attachment

[Mom]

Ok I vote this one with. Lets get on it!

Rugby is all fine with me too, ACC fund rugby injuries too you know.

[sunhuntin]

i think the tank one would make a wicked bumper sticker. i would be in for one of those as well.

[Naki Rat]

Who came up with this slogan first? Naki rider?

And I am so going to vandalise one of their hi vis vests

Was my slogan uplifted from this post of mine, by Highlander:

ACC is on the skids but the bigger problem is that the government's entire coffers are in similar shape. They are not in a position to bail out ACC from the general fund 'cause there pretty much isn't anything left there..........

......Sure we need to smarten up if we hope to mitigate this blatant cash grab from a sector of the population who to be honest don't have much sympathy from the general populace so maybe the "Don't look so smug mate, they'll be emptying your wallet next" approach might help us to gain some traction in any course of action.

Seeing its present form there's definitely some talent lurking at KB :clap:
My only suggestion would be in the order of the 'victims'. How about: Motorcycle, cycle, rugby player, car ? I'd lose the National flag though, too fiddly.

[neels]

I'm keen for a couple when there is a consensus on design.

[Angusdog]

+1 for the design without the National party flag. Will keep an eye out for when they're ready.

[Reckless]

Personally Id use the one in MOMS post with National being the commander of the ACC tank!
Its the Govt we need to get at, not ACC!

This one!

Okay, how about using the National Party's "N" logo on the flag rather than the word National. The font size will be an issue on a bumper sticker.

[slick]

A couple more ideas....

Yes good Idea. After designing The "Dirt Division T shirts your point is very valid.
Look in the end I'll go with the flow, I just think its important for the message to go to national!
Last post from me I'm up for a T shirt or two!

Cheers

[Danae]

Right how's this? With or without flag? ><

[ukusa]

could do a play on the Mastercard theme...

Motorcycle ... $5000
Insurance ... $600
WOF...$30
Screwing bikers with massive ACC levies...priceless

I think i already made a mastercard one somerwhere?

[Dusty1198]

I'm down with this mastercard design. where do I get one of those.:clap:

[Nick from the nick]

Right how's this? With or without flag? ><

Either with or with out is good but you gotta have the quote who's next, i'd be up for a sticker and t shirt, anyone thought of a date and place for a protest ride

[jafar]

How ? You got to tell us now:clap:


do tell

I'll let you figure it out :2thumbsup

heh putting my two bits in... supporting the thread... totally!
