  2. ACC and Progress A Philosophy

    by , 29th November 2009 at 23:26 (Motorcycling and An Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD))
    You have a magic wand.

    Tomorrow morning there is no ACC

    The Work Account has been privatised.

    The remaining accident cover ‘no fault scheme’ eg motorcyclist injuries, football/rugby injuries, cyclist injuries etc etc is held in abeyance for 5 years while a joint parliamentary committee is convened and a strategy put forward to replace ACC within three years and reviewed after a further two years.

    At present ACC in its very basic format ...

  3. No longer a virgin

    Well it was my first time over the hill (Rimutaka Hill Road) today and the foam on my seat has formed a new shape lol. Took my time like a nanna but the most important thing was for me to stay upright.

    Seriously though what a great ride over to Martinbourgh with a great bunch of people. A beautiful day and by the time I got to Toppys I had to remove the liner from my pants and jackets.

    Saw a few zip cars () on the way and deployed the circling finger above the ...

  5. Why did I go to Wellington last week?

    As a teenage apprentice in the mid 70's, I decided at some stage to participate in one of the now famous CND marches in London. At the same time, I was more than a little infatuated with an attractive lass who rode alongside of me on my ride to polytech each day - on her shocking pink Vespa, with boots, gloves, helmet and catsuit to match. I didn't go along to this march because I wanted to end nuclear weapons; I went because Diane asked me to go with her, and to share her hotel room. We split when ...

  6. Here we go again!!!

    So I have a new enthusiasm for the Tape Worm!! Not that I needed much more, but there you go.

    So after Bert and I had a minor brake issue in the enduro, but Mumford Luck would have it that they are now better than ever!!! It would seem that because the caliper is different to the forks, and I've made a new mount to join them together, that when the caliper is mounted in it's new position, there is a spot for an air bubble to sit somewhere inside. I've be struggling with spongy front ...

  7. The next step

    On Tuesday November 17th 2009, 9,500 of my friends and I made history.

    This happened because a few people said ‘enough of the lies, let’s go tell them we don’t agree’ and BRONZ, Ulysses, WIMA, and HOG all came along to ensure the word got out.
    And get out it certainly did!

    We took the largest group ride in NZ and we took it from the ends of Aotearoa to the steps of the seat of the New Zealand Government, and we said in one voice, bullshit.
    We had over ...
