  • MAG-NZ Launches in New Zealand

    It is with great pleasure we announce the arrival of MAG-NZ to the biker scene in New Zealand. While our official launch date is October 3rd 2010 we have launched our website today and invite you to come in and find out a bit more about us.

    www.mag-nz.org

    Motorcycle Action Group of New Zealand (MAG-NZ) has been formed by bikers, for bikers and promises a new era of meaningful and purposeful representation for bikers in New Zealand.

    As the name suggests MAG-NZ is about Action.

    As an organisation we are committed to upholding bikers freedoms, and resisting imposed restrictions and laws which impede those freedoms.

    We will do so actively, we will not passively accept the eroding of our legal right to ride. MAG-NZ believes that bikers themselves understand, and are responsible for, the actions that are required to ensure their freedoms. We will not wait for others to do our job for us.

    MAG-NZ believes there are 3 levels of action required;

    • Personal;
    • Local;
    • National.

    As an organisation MAG-NZ is committed to all three.

    We also see the sense in belonging to an international group, committed to similar ideas. MAG-NZ has the support and backing of MAG-UK and will use the resources this affiliation brings to ensure we achieve our goals.

    So, do not ask what MAG-NZ can do for you, rather, what can you do for your fellow bikers?

    Membership of MAG-NZ is open to anyone regardless of what they ride. You don't even have to be a motorcycle owner - if you simply have "an interest" in motorcycles or things motorcycling we welcome your membership.
    Join us today!

      Cheers triple, MAG-NZ has a big future, that I have no doubt. The committee and founding members are working extremely hard to ensure we do this absolutely right. Thank you for your support.

      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.
      I don't see them asking for your "squids".

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

      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 se      e

      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.

      Thank you. We have gained some very impressive sponsorship too, standby for our announcement about member benefits. Did you see that Andrew Stroud is attending our official launch as well?
