Yep i agree, We DEFINITELY need to protest against this, and it needs to be an organised event, like when the truckies had their protest, AND NO IDIOTS. I reckon we shud block up the auckland harbour bridge.

Wonder how many crashes/ACC claims there will be in these organised protest rides.

I hope none.

Why shouldn't we pay more?

Why shouldn't we pay more than whom?

Sporting injuries cost more than motorcycle injuries, why SHOULD we pay more than them.

DIY injuries cost way more than motorcycle injuries, why SHOULD we pay more than them.

ACC need to levy rugby and ladders and power tools and tennis racquets then get back to us.

Also: car drivers should be subsidising motorcycle riders to SOME degree as they are at fault for SOME of the accidents that injure motorcycles. They can also take 100% of the car levy of motorcyclists and apply that to motorcycle costs - I am sure that there is a significant number of motorcyclists that pay a car rego as well.

Does that mean taking a dump on the front steps of the beehive is out

When the official protests are happening how about anyone that has a car and trailer load their bike up and drive to the protest .Drive home the fact that you are paying for car and bike and can only use one at a time,also car and trailer is way more obstructive than a bike

5th november plz

**dilz** · 15th October 2009, 05:00

can we really make a difference though? i hope so but im not sure we could.

**urbanrefugee54** · 15th October 2009, 06:59

but if we don't try.. it will be the beginning of the end for motorcycling in nz.. I'm in for a ride to Welly.. then the ones that can't go, could do blockades at co-ordinated times & places..

**dogsnbikes** · 15th October 2009, 07:09

Try and stop me

**funky monkey** · 15th October 2009, 08:09

I would have to take a bike for a "test ride" borrow one, or get the one i want(fat chance of that at the mo) But i would be there

**tbone** · 15th October 2009, 09:52

Yep, count me in as well.
Hell, make it an NZ wide trip! (with those tshirts that may get printed up!)

Was a bit (alot) furious when I found out about this, but it does make sense - as someone else said, it's the amount the levy has gone up and it's based on CC rating which doesn't really mean squat.
