Anyone heard about a "Slow Ride to Welington"?

[Conquiztador]

This is what popped up on fb but can not find anything more. And what, apart from the ACC general rip-off is this about??? And that is supposed to be Wellington...

[Paul in NZ]

Nah - can't find anything....

Logo is a rip off of EU one....

[jellywrestler]

yeah the Harley Owners have one every time they go out...

[riffer]

Yes, we're working on it.

September 26th. Thursday seems to be the one at the moment.

Details not finalised yet, but the idea is to congest traffic with a large amount of motorcycles, helping to raise awareness of how many of us there really are out there.

I'll get more information on here as soon as I can.

The idea being that we eventually lead up to some kind of Bikoi type event before October 15.

Read the press release from BRONZ that I've posted and you'll get a sense of why people are pissed.

in New zealand being pissed means they will be too drunk to ride their motorcycle, where are you from?

I don't know if it's just me, but I generally try to improve peoples perceptions of riders, instead of being a pain in the ass to other road users.

I'd do the ride on my scooter, but the 'going slow' part would be a problem:scooter:

At times having top gear as the only gear can be a hassle.


As for the ride itself, I think the public would simply get pissed off at the riders rather than become sympathetic.

[Conquiztador]

And here I was thinking that the ride was gonna take a week to get to Welly... a little like when the farmers went down with their tractors!

Most people feel that way on the normal day to day basis but there is coming the day when if we don't stand up for ours selves then the old saying is going to apply to all of us.

The meek shall inherit,,,, FUCK ALL !

Limited action my arse,,I say block every road into and out of wellinton and have a full scale fucken riot,,,,with free beer.

[Jeff Sichoe]

Wonder how much $$ the Gorge Camera is gonna pull in that day - as everyone will wheel out their un-rego'd bikes to join in on the fun...

Jeez Graeme, I'm shocked you don't recognise me. I mean, I've been in your garage and all.

All the way from Stokes Valley mate. Now resident in Upper Hutt.

Ordinarily I'd not be one to advocate rioting, but since you mentioned free beer you now have my attention.

How are we to allocate this beer - a six pack for every smashed windscreen, 1 keg of Tui for every car we overturn?

yeah I do, I'm shocked you can't recognise a piss-take!

[riffer]

My bad - I'm sick at home today. Obviously completely devoid a sense of humour mate.

[Bassmatt]

Its organised to be on a week after you announce it? Locals only?

[Conquiztador]

I tend to agree with Bassmatt's concern. On a Thursday and a week away... The numbers might not be too great.

[riffer]

Well, firstly I didn't organise it. I'm just the fella copping the bullets (who'd be a messenger eh?)

I'm just passing some info on. I don't know about any organised plan yet to be honest - this is a few people just trying to gain some attention.

Who knows what will happen?

All that does is piss off all the other traffic who are going about their legal business. Go take your protests to the people who are causing the issue not innocent bystanders. Take your bike into ACC and block their doors. Yes I ride a bike and don't like the ACC charges but getting other road users to hate you for holding them up is not way to go about it. No wonder cage drivers don't care at times.

Nice idea man, but it wouldn't work. You might as well shout at your telly.

Sounds promising. Probably more effective if there's more than just a bookface item. Couple of days warning here might add a small few.
