OK South Auckland Riders let's support young, useless guys South of Auckland ( Hamiltonians ).
How about we met at BP Dury before 9.15 am, for departure before 9.30 am usual place and time for this ride and we can make down at Hamilton before 10.30am for protest at 11am and after protest we can do SH22 and mix business(politic) with pleasure . If anyone is interested for group ride I be at BP at 9.00am leaving before 9.30 am.
PS: Ulysses- nether young, nether useless . They doing something about it, let's support it !

Fan bloody tastic ride to Hammytron this morning with great riders for company, 500 plus bikes,riders and pillions turned up to hear two National MP's speak in defence of the ACC Levy increases, they seem to think that the ACC is in Dept to the tune of 4.8 BILLION Dollars?????
Where'd that come from? our best information says they were 11 Billion up in the bank and had payed the Govt 1 Billion as well.
Smoke and mirrors are being emplyed here.
One point that did come out, they. The Nat Govt want and will listen to submissions on how to make the ACC levies system work fairly and equitably.

Idea for submissions as below.

Make registration of each Licence holder compulsory.A little more for each class held and renewed.No ACC Levy content in registration, keep it low and affordable.

No more multiple ACC Levies for each vehicle/bike to an individual owner.

Place the ACC Lecv on ALL fuel sold, regardless of to whom, gets everyone who buys fuel, just like GST!

Penalties for avoidance of licence registration and or ACC Levies as below.

No Current licence or registration when stopped, Prison till you've sat and passed one.(I'd imagine if you got off your arse and studied the road code you could do it in 2 days)

Stopped without one again car/bike/vehicle impounded, prison for 3 months.
Third time, YOU STAY Inside.

This is what I will be submitting, of course along with a little note saying NO F...ing way am I paying your present levy propsal.

Hey, good to see some of you SA-ers headed down to the tron for their meeting. The Manukau one was really well attended.
Youse all just wanted the excuse of a longer ride diddencha???? (And with weather like this I can't blame you!)

Here's looking to see how the media portray the meetings around the country now eh.
