Well bikers are screwed - ACC levy

**Woody2** · 14th October 2009, 14:50

I have just emailed my local MP Hekia Parata and cc Nick Smith and mentioned my extreme dissatisfaction - National party website has all MPs addresses. I'm will also be up for any Wellington Protest ride!

Cheers Daryl.

Never. As I've said before, if bikes go electric, I'm riding the bus.

Lucky me, I got a 600... A if my bike is any safer than a 650...

Also another gathering at a point just north of woodville, another bridge perhaps, same sort of time !

Then later that night yr all welcome to come at our place ! (Ok so that wont work) But i know a bloke with a farm, Who i'm sure would let ya's all camp at, if motels and hotels are all booked !

Would the better idea be to have support from other road users rather than piss them no end at Labour weekend?
A protest is a great idea, but a well organised and coordinated protest with structure and the right delivery would have a better impact.

That's the only protest left fellas and fellesses.

I'll pay my rego, just not my ACC part

I think everyone should just not buy a rego, then they'll realize they had more money before this whole thing.

Do you guys think the 600cc+ motorcycles that crash more often are harleys and triumphs etc that motorcycle gangsters ride? i often hear how they crash while drunk, with a helmet designed for a nazi soldier rather than to protect the head from a crash

Can we at least crowd parliament?

I reckon a ride with enough people will get some media coverage and notice...

**Gubb** · 14th October 2009, 14:53

Surely all this talk of not paying Regos also means that you won't have Warrants?

Don't you need to have your Rego up to date to get a Warrant, or is it the other way around?

Not paying that shit, They can get fucked.

Agreed, you can count me in too, Rego's are high enough as it is without them going up

Yea, lets just have our own quiet little protest and make sure we don't piss anyone off. I suggest a group ride through Eketahuna at midnight or so, when no one will notice.

Get real. If you want to get somewhere you have to PISS PEOPLE OFF.

Everybody!!!..."The wheels of the bus go round and round...."

I will be interested to hear what BRONZ suggests. I have never really heard what they actually do, this is a prime opportunity for them to either show that they are a useful and relevant organisation, either that or show that they are completely neutered in which case there is an opening for a rival group.

If BRONZ fails to suggest meaningful action and guide the protests in a situation like this where there is a huge groundswell of disatisfaction with how motorcyclists are being treated by the government, then they are truly a complete failure.

But but but i've never insighted a riot before !!!

Ok I'm gonna be at taupo riding around and around on my unreged bike anyway on labour day, so i would have had to catch up later, like the next day, due to some bloody protest or another stopping traffic on SH1 for god nows how long the backlog would have taken to clear, from two strategic blockades !!!

Bwahhahahahahaha
