ACC T-Shirt run

Needs to be very clear and simple, like "ACC UNFAIR TO BIKES"?

Wear it over the riding jacket.

Count me in for one.

Thats good. Just needs something showing that there are others sucking up ACC costs, not just us.

Ive made a start, but my photoshopping skills arent the best, Retro Asian's acc logo in the bottom right is a good idea, maybe someone can apply that to the bargraph, also got the xls file if anyone wants to have a go with a pie graph or summat.

EDIT, gahhr, what the fuck is that tooltip doing there

**Reckless** · 15th October 2009, 10:23

Good Idea Bogan we need to put that graph across Retro's target.

Yeah,

I like this idea, something I can wear over my gear

"I pay ACC over $750 a year and they don't even supply this bloody t-shirt

"

"If you play rugby you can thank me for paying your ACC bill"

More the way to achieve a result I would think...They have to learn to

I'd def be in for a t-shirt and a bumper sticker, whatever it is it need's to be non-offensive to cagers, clear and concise just stating why it's unfair or we'll get even less sympathy for our cause.

How about this?

Good one ACC, doing this by CC and not by BHP or recorded rick factors is nothing short of a total cock up in my eyes.
They have hit the starter market, i.e SV 650's, ER 650's. Now these bikes are purchased by people with less funds available and more than likely new-er riders, the rise in ACC costs could take these people off the road all together. Maybe that's what they want. Kill off (so to speak) the new riders with pricing.
You really can't tell me an SV 650 is as dangerous as say, a GSXR1300 Busa. The 1300 has at least double the power! The main difference is 'IMO' Mr Busa man will more than likely have the funds to pay the extra AAC costs, while moaning the whole time like i am now!

I'm from the UK, (Now living in NZ) and i see this whole issue as nothing short of crazy. If you want to cut road incidends, the laws should be looked at as a whole. Get shot of the ridiculous turn left rule, that is the most stupid law i have ever come across. Bikes don't have self cancelling indicators, any rule that gives another peice if traffic the priority to turn in front of another road users path is just plain stupid.

While i'm on the subject of road, what's with the under taking rule, also very stupid. Get some lane discipline and get out of the FAST LANE. That's just it thou, what's the point in a so called FAST lane if undertaking is allowed. I've traveled through a lot of countries in my time by motorcycle and car. NZ is the only country that i know of that has undertaking allowed. Wake up NZ, wake up ACC. Speed is not the issue, 100kph draconian limits won't help! If you drove that slow in the UK on a main road you may well just be pulled by the Police as they wonder if you're over the limit with alcohol or on drugs.

I know i went a little off in a tangent but i do feel the above points are a cause to the ACC's rise. We, as motorcycles are getting the blame for this. No, don't believe me? Well what's the levy rise for then? I can't be the only one whos almost been side-swiped by an undertaking driver. If that had accured it's another KPI (key performance indicator) black mark aganist motorcycles! Nothing to do with the car driver being to blame, we will have to pay more next year! Where does it end?!

Get real ACC.....

In the UK i acquired over 10 years no claims bonus. That was riding R1's GSXR 1000's RSV-R's etc.

The new levies are nothing short of a metaphorical poke in the eye to riders!

I'm up for any proposed protests. Ideas of how to go about this is a sensible way? Let me know. Lets not get walked over.

How about a very puplic street ride/meet protest. Get one going in every city. Make it known to the papers ie, very puplic. Get it on the news maybe?

What do you all think?

Sorry if this has been suggested already but what about compiling a standard cut and paste submission that people can download, put their name on (edit if they want) and then email.
