I actually cant answer that totally accurately, but there were over 120 last night.

not bad for a few days eh! I haven't even had a chance to lean on a few mates yet...

[Okey Dokey]

Quite interested to hear your story about how the insurance company doubled your excess, we have an story on our site detailing another member's experience with insurance companies following a claim for protective equipment.

What was the response of the insurance company when you explained that you were performing advanced training to improve your safety. Did they increase your excess overall, or just whilst you were preforming the training?

Sorry, I have only got back onto kb now. The excess increase was only for the day of the track based training. $750 up to $1500. That could definitely discourage some from giving it a go.

The insurance response was initially we won't cover for ANY track training. I phoned again later, got a different person, and it was approved as above. I didn't argue the point, but I did state it was a training specific day with certified instructors, not a track day free for all.

[NONONO]

Hmmm, we do seem to be getting some indication that insurance companies may be working against improving rider safety..
For example (s)
2nd hand replacement value for safety gear(including helmets), which they term "sports clothing" and making advanced training somewhat prohibitive in terms of insurance costs..
Interesting.

I wonder whether some of that $30 could be used by ART groups to provide insurance excess cover - this would be good for publicity and perhaps encourage more riders to take it up - I know I'd certainly think twice if my insurance company did that to me. I wonder if any of the insurance companies would be up for that...

I agree - I wonder if it's worth a bit of an insurance company survey - (if there's not one around maybe even here on KB) to see what policies each company has on PPE replacement, insurance for ART etc - the outcome of this survey, and the "action" that may follow could be worthwhile to a great many of us...

They say 'sports clothing' yet I am yet to receive from them (after countless requests) a glossary of definitions that they use in the policies. I mean, a pair of speedos are sports clothing, a hockey mask is sports clothing. Now, I dont know about you but the last time I rode my bike wearing speedos and a hockey mask was in bed after 15 beers and a bottle oif JD on my stag night, not on the road.

Fuck it, I'm going to have these insurance companies up and get some answers, its stealth discrimination. They are hard work though, but thats 95.5% of the challenge.....the other 5% is finding my lost speedos and hockey mask.....

Jeez, you took your time, ...:yes:

I'd actually go along with a hockey mask being protective equipment, and worthy of a full payout if it prevented some serious dental work.
You could use the exact same arguments for wearing one, as you would bike gear.

Insurance are scum, I know of at least one person on the ART I did that was flat out refused cover for the day. I didn't even bother to check with my company.

I reckon we are on teh same page here mate. I am having a battle with this companies and will continue to do so. Check out my blog on the MAG website (www.mag-nz.org), look under 'blog roll'.

Yes, these insurance companies are hard work to say the least, but that wont stop us from getting in their face until we get some change and less discrimination.

Thanks for your comments mate...:Punk:

8 pertinent points out of 18.

I can't see the point in an organisation trying to umbrella Sport riders with Recreational - the groups needs and wants are chalk and cheese, and I have no interest in motorcycling as a sport in any form, so not likely to even consider swinging the MNZ way and have my coin spent on a governing body spending potentially thousands of dollars to ensure little Johnny and big Suzy get to some obscure under 21 All Quakers invitational inter-church faith healing trail ride... or something...

I think twenty squids (and the occasional small top up donation if warranted/permitted) to a group like MAG-NZ or BRONZ to stop me from binning it on a poorly constructed road is a far better use of my coin.

Thats most probably because the main focus of MNZ is road racing unless I am mistaken. The two could work together.

[idleidolidyll]

I'm worried

from what I see there are a number of MAG comittee members who didn't want to take action when the Govt raised ACC levies: they didn't want to disturb the peace.

I hope MAG has the balls required and isn't the same PC bunch who have failed us in the past.

Time will tell I guess but I start as a sceptic given the names I see

we are still ironing out some details with regard to the ACC campaign (they will be on the website once we sort it), PC behaviour is likely to get results through larger numbers at protest actions, non-pc is likely to make more of an impact (per participant) with media and tptb, planning an action to maximize both will take a bit of thinking.

Thats right, MAG has active groups in both Auckland (which is the national HQ) and Christchurch. There will be other regional groups as we go forward, but we're launching with these regions.

The Canterbury launch has not been affected by the quake - although MAG-NZ has every sympathy for everyone in the Christchurch region affected by this tragedy.

There are some great events planned - so get yourself down to the assembly points on 3rd October. If you need any further info, feel free to post here, PM any KB'er with a MAG logo or flick us an email on info@mag-nz.org - you can also contact us via Facebook or Twitter (twitter.com/MAG-NZ)

The weekend is dedicated to raising money for NZ Spinal Trust (our chosen charity) and fun and frivolity. Brain picking of executive is encouraged.

Yup, Tokoroa, would love to join in, but am working all weekend, which while some may berate me for considering a higher priority, I'd be only too happy to join a mid-week ride.

I have looked at the itinerary, and can most likely join up on the Friday arvo.

What time do you plan arriving Taupo, and are you planning on just SH1-ing it?

Cool bananas! We are leaving BP Papakura at 11amish, and will be heading directly down the boring route. I have my son riding with me and it will be his first big ride, so I am sticking to that route. We wont be rushing. Be fantastic if you could join us from Tok to taupo, not that far to head home either if you decide to stay the night Friday night :D Flick me a PM with your contact details, take the day off November 5th, and we will pick you up enroute to Taupo.

Don't need the day off for Fri, will have the arvo/evening free.

Will flick the itinerary to a guy who organises rides locally, maybe get a few more along.

A lot of the guys at work that ride are on the same roster as me, but there'll still be a few available I'm sure.

What a day!
Over 350 Bikes parked up 2 deep on the great South Road Outside the DRURY PERFORMANCE CENTRE.
That count was done before all the people stopped arriving.

While I was on the membership table and couldn't always hear the speechs and the interviews, I do know that many who arrived were already members (Thanks to our on line Paypal and Credit card payment options) However they happily bought our Special Edition Launch badges, the coffee from the Coffe man and the snags from the redeemed Riders working the sausage sizzle for us.

A personal thanks to Jafar for taking TEC for me on the Southern ride in.

Another to Reckless for making delivery of our Flags on Thursday Night, just in time.

I hope that Anthony of Drury Tyres / Drury Performance Centre is reading this as I'd also like to thank him and his Redeemed Riders for their tireless work in not only preparing the venue but staying behind to clean up as well.
To the Men and Woman of the redeemed a heartfelt thank you, your involvement meant that we of the MAG-NZ committee could and did manage to get around and talk to as many of our new members and visitors as it was posible to do.

Again to Anthony for our guest speakers, how cool is that an 8 times NZ Champion Rider , a Rally Specialist and that THUMPING GREAT V8 tyre Shredding monster chained up beside the building, unleashing all that smoke and noise.

Special Thanks to both Repco NZ and Depot4. I know that Grant and Antonio of Depot4 were with us today.

While today was about membership numbers getting a boost, it also served to make it possible for those not sure to come along and listen tho what we are proposing to DO, now that our group is officially Launched.

Look to the MAG-RAG coming to you via email, snail mail, Bike Shop Counter and any other shop counter where we are allowed to drop it off.
Your participation today was greatly appreciated, your ongoing involvement is absolutely critical to MAG-NZ going forward and taking you all with us.
Thanks to all those who made this day a success, our own people who have worked tirelessly for many weeks now to get this event up and running, our Redeemed friends, DRURY Tyre/Performance Centre and the People who rode today without whom it would not have been possible to make happen.
Also to Kiwi Graham for the invite out to Pukekohe to go and see first hand how a track day works and who took the time to explain many of the little things that happen at a track day and why, cheers mate.

What a ripper of a day.
That burn out was the bloody bollix eh?
Heads still spinning, too many stories bout the Isle of Man TT Races and good ole rock bands..Bikes, good people and music, what more dya want?:yes:

[Fatt Max]

Fan-bloody-tastic day all round.
Great to catch up with old mates and make some new friends along the way.
Really was very humbling being there today and seeing the collective hard work, determination and dedication coming together.
I seriously had a lump in the throat and a tear in teh eye when I looked along GSR and saw the bikes lined up.
Then the track day, my giddy aunt, some serious hardware on show there and a whole heap of biker people out doing their thing.
We are launched now thanks to the help of so many. Now we will carry on the fight in ernest to be the voice of bikers in New Zealand. We will preserve and protect, we will hear our members and, most of all, we will DO IT....!!!
So my lovelies, its time to get on board and enjoy the ride
LETS HAVE IT.....!!

[Mom]

What a fantastic day! A HUGE thanks to everyone that helped pull it all together. There were a few mistakes made, and for certain we can make improvements in some areas, but WOW what an awesome turnout. So many faces, so many people to remember the names of :o Apologies to those that I had to ask. I made my own way to Drury so got to experience the bikes as they arrived, singly, in small groups, and then in a huge big rush! Noisy but :dodge:

We got a bit distracted and did not manage to release our famous MAG Anthem, which is a bit of a shame, still who knows what may happen next :D

Highlights for me...

Seeing so many folk turn out to support us. First time ever, I got a dry mouth giving a speech to the converted :yes: I got to meet a couple of cool "famous" guys. With apologies to Patrick Malley, who for the record is a fantastic, young man, my highlight was meeting Andrew Stroud :o The number of times I have watched him race and been totally in awe, and I got to meet him, and talk to him and.....

I got a sausage :shit: for those that know my culinary phobias it will be a surprise, however it was cooked to perfection. What was the mustardy sauce stuff on them? That was actually really yummy.

Seeing the guy that got the Track time as a spot prize, return from burning up the tarmac with a grin that about blinded you was magic. I must make sure to be around when Patrick Malley gives his rally experience to see the smile on the face of the guy that won that.

Being the kind of gal that always takes a positive stance, the final highlight of the day is, I actually like a short clutch lever :yes: Lovely, two finger jobbie, easy as to operate, and no one laughed when I dropped the blue lovely in the poxy carpark thanks to the small stones my foot connected with as I stopped :shutup:

[Donor]

Mom, Maha, Max and all the others in the MAG-NZ crew, a bloody good show was had by all!

I managed to totally miss the South departure, so made my own way down to Drury a little early, where I was set upon by a flock of older blokes who espied a 2 stroker and spent 15 minutes talking about the beasty Betsy!

I joined MAG... using the money I was supposed to be saving to buy a home brew kit on Tuesday :cry: BUT! It's for the greater good... so I know the beer gods will provide in time...

Finally met the portly pootler Fat Max, the sheep slaughtering Toaster, chewed the fat (Max free variety) with a few other familiar faces, and managed to have some good conversations with various other ragged ruffians, before having the illustrious Mr Stroud call my name to step forth and get a spot prize... yay!

So good on ya MAG-NZ crew, united we stand - falling is not an option!

[Grasshopperus]

What a great day. MAG-NZ put on a very well organized event and the weather couldn't have been better. There were heaps of really nice bikes parked up along Great South Road including a 1937(?) Indian that got heaps of attention.

It's going to be real interesting to see what MAG plan next :woohoo:

[Maha]

The day just got better and better to be honest, we rode to Drury from Oteha Valley rd, all 35 of us. Kept the speed at around 80-90kph and managed to catch the Westies up around the Manukau area.
The Launch itself went really well, so cool to see people that you have not seen in a while.
Everyone involved from the sausage cooking to the massive spot prizes and venue made the day really.
DEPOT4 put forward some awesome gear for spot prizes and about 135 discount vouchers.:rockon:

Wynw came down from Whangarei and won a Puke ART Day spot prize.
He hadn't been on a bike for number of weeks but, off to Puke we go!:scooter:
Done well in group 3.
Stayed and watch three groups then headed back to the Jolly Farmer for and hour or so to kick back a bit before heading home.
Anne has been to Wellington and back this weekend and I went to Rotorua yesterday so Monday is sleep in :yes:
Big weekend, looks like next weekend will be no different....WIMA here we come.

[chasio]

That was a rock and roll start alright and seeing Andrew Stroud up close was an eye opener... no hint of the streak of steel that must run through a winner like that.

And the visit to the ART day as well (thanks AMCC): I might have to get some tarmac friendly tyres on the Freewind and have a go at Group 1 this summer: it looked like a real hoot.

Only downside for me: I forgot my cap and my baldy head has taken a bit of a hammering under all that glorious sun! But I'll take that :sunny:

Edit: and a big thanks to Drury Performance Centre and DEPOT4 as well!

[hellokitty]

mag launch.
well done mom & maha, great day at the launch,
however i think kb has changed some what, i must explain, kb used to be a great place to meet people on line as well as at events, i can now understand why new kbers say that they find it hard to meet more kbrs.
i went to shell west gate to meet up with kbrs to head to the mag launch, i aproched a group of people & asked if they were kbrs at all, yip was all i got,??:scratch:
no introductions at all, no attempt to even introduce them selves or any of the other group, so my question is, has kb realy changed or is it just a certain group of kbrs that like keep thems selves secret?? :weird:

[gijoe1313]

I plead guilty to being absent ... but I have good excuse! ... um, well ... it's like this .. :o

Situation in my life circumstances have changed somewhat ... I am treading into waters I am not fully briefed on ...

I find myself in completely new territory, which I am still trying to come to grips with ...

This is where I now plead the fifth! Or whatever other amendments that will help me! :innocent:

From what I heard, bloody good show - it's just a pity I couldn't make it! :sweatdrop

(and from those who know me, I do have a bloody good excuse!)

You'd better or I'll have a posses of three on your dorrstep next term Mr! LOL missed ya GI.

I'd be very surprised if any of our MAG-NZ people were the ones you spoke to
Nutbar.
KB is what you get, when you get it, I've never had a problem meeting fellow bikers actually out there in the real world where bikes are ridden on not so great roads etc.

yes, it was, i belive his name was steve, he was operating the video at the event, he was with the guy who led the ride from west gate, i too have met many bikers on & off the road, hence was supprised at the reaction i got,

[Mom]

hence was supprised at the reaction i got,

I hate it when that happens. If it is who I I think you are talking about, he would be horrified to think he did not give a good impression. He is a great guy, so I'm sorry if you got a different impression, he was probably just a bit distracted.

I would hate to think of the number of people I have given the flick to today, unintentionally, just because I was so busy and distracted. I guess this has to serve as my apology to them. Sorry guys.

Thank you for coming along to support us. Are you signed up as a member of MAG-NZ? Come along to the next event we hold that you can attend. Come and make the time to introduce yourself to me. Not all of us are KB members, infact there are more than a few members of MAG-NZ I know of that have not even attempted a log on to KB, they either dont want to, or have never heard of this forum...

I know it is easy to think that KB is the only place bikers meet, but the reality is many more bikers are not members of KB than are members.

Sorry you felt out of place. Like I said earlier, we got some stuff wrong, and there are lessons we have learned from today.

[Phreak]

Had an awesome day, HUGE thanks to the team for putting on a top class event, and to the guys at Drury Performance Centre for putting up with us all today. The weather was brilliant (got major sunburn to prove it) and the whole organisation of the day was better than I've personally seen for a long long time. Congrats to the prize winners too (I wanted a new lid but someone didn't agree with me there!)

Seriously, today was a bloody good turnout, great to see so many different classes of bikes and bikers there, and the cars were pretty cool too! Can't wait to see what the summer months ahead hold for us, but I for one plan on being at as many events as possible! (Did someone mention a run down to Wellington...? KEEN!)

Also, I am more than impressed with the friendliness of the MAG-NZ crew, I had the opportunity to meet some really cool people, and share my opinions with theirs, which I believe is what the biker community really needs. You know who you are, keep up the good work!

Thanks again to all those involved in putting together such a great day.

MAG-NZ ... DO IT!!!

:rockon:

[What?]

...where I was set upon by a flock of older blokes who espied a 2 stroker and spent 15 minutes talking about the beasty Betsy!

Older? What d'ya mean, "Older"?? I ain't old.
Am I?
At least I am far from alone with the problem of shrinking leathers!

Top job Anne. Never easy trying to pull something like this together. Now we just have to get it rolling.

[Antonio]

A very successful day , ye ye.
Good on you all. you guys did a absolutely brilliant job.
As a member, I am very happy to be part of this and so proud of you guys.

Regards

[boman]

Great day. Very good speech by Mom. I was impressed by the turnout. Very well done people.
:woohoo::woohoo::scooter::scooter::woohoo::woohoo:

[jafar]

Was nice to see a reasonable turnout for the start of MAG-NZ @ the Auckland event, well done to the team who put it all together. :yes:

How did the events in the rest of the country go ??

[MadDuck]

well done to the team who put it all together.

Cheers. I hope you remember where to send my new harley ?

Cheers. I hope you remember where to send my new harley ?

I sure do :yes:

Have you fixed that driveway yet ?? :blink:

My congrats to MAG-NZ... as good as their word springs to mind :).. long may it continue and long may NZ motorcyclists become more ACTIVELY involved in voicing their dissaproval over the anti-community legislation that these governments promote...

Hats off to ya'll :not:

We had a chat about a couple of 'issues' over a quiet one later in the day.
Going to Wellington was mentioned yesterday during the speech, and can I add, it will be all about timing.
And the Thunder Rolls.......:yes:

[Bald Eagle]

Going to Wellington was mentioned yesterday during the speech, .......:yes:

there's some good bike parking near the Beehive :innocent::facepalm:

As a minor sidelight, the ART day at Pukekohe was not "a track day".

It is actually advanced rider training, already doing what MAG in part is asking for.

You don't need to change your tyres: I've instructed there on Tourances on occasion.

As another sidelight, great to see a revival of this idea. The first NZ MAG ran from the time of an ACC protest ride in 1977 until about 1982. Go for it, and keep it going.

[Maha]

I have corrected my obvious mistake.

[PeteJ]

I have corrected my obvious mistake.

Good - though the point was that AMCC is closely aligned with MAG's aims and is actively doing stuff about it.

Pete, thank you for your comments. I agree it is important to make a clear distinction between, Advanced Rider Training at a track, and straight out track days, with no formal training happening. Having said that I am picking there will be an argument that sole track days allow for practice of skills so are still valuable in the big picture.

You know about the previous MAG Action? Do you know anyone involved in it? I remember attending protests back in the '70s, I always thought they were BRONZ ones.

[Bikemad]

great day yesterday..........thanks to the MAG NZ crew for puttin it together.......great snags and plenty of bikes to cast ya eyes over...........
however.......im not so sure cruisin at 80-90ks in the fast lane of the M/way holding up people on their day off did the cause any favours......i understand it was a protest ride but i did notice a lot of pissed off agressive car drivers muttering abuse at us as they finally whistled by on our left...........i suspect that even if they knew what it was about,we would no longer have their support.Im sure the fuzz would probably have something to say about it safety wise as well..:violin:
and do you know how hard it is to crawl at 85ks on a daytona?????
still..........ya got my $ as promised caseye and look forward to the next ride asap

[Hawk]

seeing that you asked lol

Christchurch

The 15 to 20 bikes and riders enjoyed themselves on the Fish and Chip run to Akaroa. We had one bike and pillion who enjoyed the ride so much that They introduced an element I didnt consider, The adventure ride, yep they got lost and used evey bit of gravel they could find getting back to to our sponsors. Repco Northwood, top effort guys.

Also we had to ask for help from another group that were on a different run, those suasages didn't stand a chance after the call for assistance was answered ...........on Friday for a Sunday meetup.

If you want to know more, Pay ya $20 get on the mailing list And look for the Canterbury Run Report in the next Mag Rag

Cheers

Knowing you as I already do, I'm taking this as constructive criticism and am looking forward to catching up with you on the Nerxt MAG-NZ event, naturally also our BFTP rides.
Cheers for coming along mate, I'm sure I don't need to pass on the concerns and as our Preesident said earlier in this thread, we made some mistakes on the day.
With yours and the other MAG-NZ members help we will iron out those hiccups and deliver faultless events from sometime in the very near future.
Love ya work BM.

Apologies for editing your post. I need to say it was not a protest ride though, you will know when it is a protest, it will be slower :dodge:

Seriously though, taking a big bunch of bikes in a group needs to be managed to ensure safety. Frankly 85kph is probably too fast in a HUGE group. Still, we launched without misshap. 350 bikes arriving at one venue more or less at the same time is a great achievement. Can not wait for our next run.

[rustyrobot]

Surely SOMEONE took some photos?
You know you really might as well post them up and rub it in for us poor folk who had to work on such a beautiful, eventful day. :crybaby:

Hi Mom...........no real problem with the 85ks...........please no slower tho or i might have to downsize for the real protest ride :facepalm:
was more the choice of lane we occupied
Been riding a long time and have to say being in the left half of the fast lane,found it a little unnerving having cars and at one point a bloody great B Train undertake us as we tootled along...........
overall a great day and big ups to you guys for gettin things happenin.......cheers.

[PeteJ]

You know about the previous MAG Action? Do you know anyone involved in it? I remember attending protests back in the '70s, I always thought they were BRONZ ones.

Yeah, at the core were the Dobson brothers and me. Our initial AGMs were at the Cold Kiwi.

Motorcycle Action training schools grew out of it - named so for obvious reasons - and the advanced one kept going from 1978 until about 1990.

The ACC never actually funded one single brass razoo.

BRONZ was way, way later than 1977, IIRC. By the time they arrived, I'd run out of energy.

The choice of lane is a saftey thing for me as ride organiser.
The fast lane becomes lane 4 on the bridge and no real need to lane change until we exit.
Thats why I choose the fast lane, which is a misnomer really aint it, you can go any quicker than 100 kph.
The Rolling Protest Ride we did last year, we kept the speed at no more than 70kph in the ''fast lane'' and turned out to be to fast for some.
Once again the Fuzz (police) have no issue at all with our speed. Theres enough lanes for everyone, especially on a Sunday morning.

[Bikemad]

cheers Maha............get where ya comin from...........at times felt like a sittin duck is all......found myself constantly checkin my left mirror.....when i should really be watchin stuff ahead........curious if anyone else in the left row of bikes experienced the same..........next time will start in the right row......:yes:

It can be difficult at times for sure, and I am the one the finger gets wagged at and thats all good .
We had a LTNZ approved riding instructor with us on the way in, I spoke to her before we left and at Drury, she didnt mention anything about the ride in but I would more than happy to get her account on what she thought of it, and how things could be improved on if needed.

[Bikemad]

no worries..........just thinking out loud...........no finger wagging intended.......
lookin forward to the next action
