    Sorry in advance to those experiencing inclimactic weather. But Dogam! It is the perfect day to paint or trim trees or wash the car. Don't do any of those things. Don't even call a friend. Just get out there and ride while you can. You don't work all week to mow the lawn. I'm not...

  • 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!

      I think we're long overdue for an active national body representing motorcycling's interests in the same way that the AA do for car drivers. I'm keen to add my support to MAG NZ at this stage.

      Dude - we have some people on a web site that 95% of the motorcycle owners in NZ don't belong to - with all good intentions - basically undermining the potential of the the existing organisation.

      I think it's a lamentable state of affairs.

      I'm out of politics for good.

      And there you have it. It's realising that potential that counts...
      And talking of lamentable states of affairs...I just spoke with a local m/c store. They had never even heard of that existing organisation.

      Christchurch is underway, Wellington is gathering momentum. Central Districts needs to be covered and two more regions in the South Island would be great. All this and we only launched on Saturday.

      Hello Mom and my personal comment of welcome to the Motorcycle Action Group MAG-NZ. I trust that down the track MAG-NZ will inject positive and constructive input for and on behalf of motorcyclists it represents. As well I similarly encourage organisations such as BRONZ and Ulysses that they too will significantly contribute to the overall motorcycling community’s wish for improvement.

      My recent blogg entry focus was the Motorcycle Safety Levy - MSL and the newly formed ‘establishment group’. In general I am supportive of strategies that will meet common objectives within the motorcycle community. How strategies are developed and implemented I believe will require a collaborative effort between numerous motorcycle organisations, be these recently established and or long standing entities.

      How the MSL is used, and used effectively, will to a large extent depend on how well organisations can come together and develop constructive lines of communication with the MSL establishment group, and indeed for the MSL establishment group to be proactive in promoting a very good communications protocol.

      The extent of MSL funds will be such that constructive motorcycle initiatives incorporating safety, training, licensing, public awareness, etc should be probable and possible in what I would like to think will be a relatively short time – and of course from the political arena one may anticipate this to be seen to be done as quickly as possible by the current government before the next election, else the ballot booth/box may be a place of serious reflection. A definitive MSL move must be seen sooner rather than later.

      Of course organisations will have their own ‘agenda’ on how they may want to operate and form affiliations etc. I just hope and pray that down the track we will arrive at a better place than we left whereby the whole concept of motorcycling and motorcycle safety will be an improvement within and by the whole community.

      Thank you for your words of support and encouragement. I have absolutely no doubt that all what you are hoping for will infact be the reality. I am sure I speak for all of us when I say we are all about getting what is best for our members, the motorcyclists of NZ.
