If you want an easy way to protest people.........

1/ Find your local MP office
2/ Get a group of bikers
3/ park on their doorstep with a basic banner or Sign
4/ Wait for the pre arranged Media and cops
5/ Leave

And then repeat

Im in Waikato, so whos in ?

We have a ride on Sunday if you want to come to Hotel Sunday Morning (leaving 10am) other than that generally 15-20 meet at Te Rapa Tavern every Wednesday and that is the best time to get messages out to all the group. Come Sunday

Well then I would say that you want to annoy and be at party events that major national party member are and remember to record the conversations you bet they will say something dumb remember the last election

Or all of the site tory's could have voted for Labour at the last election. I cant see Phill Geoff pulling a stunt like that being that he is a biker.

Not sure that would've worked anyway Scouse - I suspect ACC would be just as fucked regardless of governing party....

But then, look at this (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=109977). You could be right...

Cops for a level playing field, basically their presence at our request will make us look allot less like a vicious pack of bikie mobsters..

I am in.

The prospective bill is ridiculous. I will ask my government-stirring friends the best way to shake them up - i know a few :D

I say do nothing, allow them to pass the changes. Then just don't pay your rego. Stuff protests, civil disobedience is where it's at.

Pointing at a bully thats just punched you in the face and spouting "takes one to know one" really doesn't have allot of effect.

Its harder to reverse something than to stop if moving in the first place, they could implement this in 2 or 3 months but reversing it could take years of litigation and all sorts of pointlessly slow political shite.

It makes more sense to try to get it reduced or leveled properly.

I think you'll find a multi-million dollar shortfall in expected revenues from levies is something to be ignored. Kick them where it hurts. Unilateral non-payment of rego would be a much more powerful action. It can be taken further if everyone ignores the reminder notices and fines, they can't send us all to court.

I see your point but organizing protests and a group complaint submission is probably a safer bet than trying to organize a group of people to break the law.

The fact is this will happen anyway... people simply wont be able to afford the rego's and they will take the gamble. How many 50cc scooters have you seen pulled over?

The way i see it i am already paying the shortfall in my income tax (and i pay a reasonable amount of tax).

So I've got 2 vehicles, one is a bike over 601cc one is a car, i pay acc + tax on the petrol used and in 5 years (late learning driver) with over 300,000 km so far i seriously don't want to know how much $$ in rego's, medical and full insurance.

I have claimed zilch on ACC....

I think Action is needed now to demonstrate we can..........we are organised..........and were pissed.

protest now

We can not pay for rego right now as its not in effect, if it comes into effect then yes brilliant lets do it, but for now we need a protest on mass

My protest suggestion. Find out where your MP lives. Anyone arranging a group ride should change the meeting place to the street that they live in.

A continuous stream of bikes outside their house every weekend should help focus their attention.

If they do change just dont pay for rego. cops are told to not chase them up now anyway (yeah right). and if you do get a fine just dont pay it, the boyracers get away with it. no law for crushing bikes, yet

Napier's MP offices are straight across the street from the copshop. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

I understand the sentiments but pissing people off at this stage is counterproductive. Would just make the lawmakers think "fuck em, lets sting the bastards for all they have"

Protest, Ride to wellington. I am for parking in front of an mps office during business hours to show displeasure. Keep it legal. Keep it civil. Keep it in the news. The message should be, sure it is us now.. but it will probably be you next. Message intended for the average NZer, hunting, fishing, sport playing joe public.
