Hellyeah bro. I'm with you on that one....... but, then again, I'm hardcore :Punk: I ride my bike to work everyday..... rain/hail/sleet/icysnow/ whatever........ bring it on !:2guns:

[Matt_TG]

I'd love to ride to work whenever I can but I need my car for work ... this will be a sort of valid excuse to take the bike :)

Good for them I say - stupid Govt could have given a warning.

Also put up the Fire service levey (tax) on all policies.

And bike rego has gone up.

Booe has gone up.

Petrol 2c more to the govt.

And there is a election this year ......... cocky bastards.

Wish I could be in town to watch it. God it'll be crazy with trucks in the city. Would be wicked to get an aerial shot of it all! :D

[Nordy]

Watch the news tomorrow nite.

I should be riding straight into it tomorrow morning around Petone. Will be interesting. Hope they don't completely block the road and/or make passing them on a bike dangerous. :crazy: Otherwise, best of luck to them. :scooter: Might snap some pics if I get a chance (and there's anything worth snapping).

[Edbear]

I think I'll take the day off...

[Griffin]

Could make for an interesting day for those cagers who dont know about it yet :angry2:

[Nordy]

anyone who doesnt know about it must have their head stuck up their butt!

[Griffin]

You'd be amazed at just how many people have their head stuck up there butt then... mark my words... there will be heaps of people wondering why traffic is so bad and calling radio stations and other organisations trying to find out the cause of their delays :Oops:

[Blackshear]

Ha ha, read it in the papers today *Much like everyone else*.
Thought, 'Sweet! Don't have to unload 3-4 tonnes of produce tomorrow!'
"Nah nah, Alan's company is still delivering produce"
'WHY?!'
That pushover!
Gah.
Best of luck to their cause, wish I could ride around for the fun of it =)

[The Joka]

I am hoping to go and park on Queen street till about 7:45 when I have to shoot up north, so hope they come through before then!

BLOODY GOOD ON THEM.. :2thumbsup

BOUT TIME SOMEONE STUCK TO THE GOVT..:2thumbsup:2thumbsup

Maybe all the bikers and car clubs should come together and protest on the phenomenal amount of tax on the fuel... $0.62 on the litre I think!:angry2:

NOW THAT WOULD BE FUN!

[CDFloss]

Haha, that was a joke. Just got to work in Welly, rode in through Petone. There were millions of CARS, but cant say I saw more than a dozen trucks the whole way in.

"I know, we'll tell them there's gonna be a kazillion trucks at 7am tomorrow clogging the motorway, so everyone will leave home before 7 and cause gridlock!" :blink:

Either that, or the truckies slept in this morning. :shifty:

Was a lovely ride in though. Nice weather, cool sunrise, slow cages. I hear Auckland is worse off though...

:wari:
