Jesus H Christ! Nick Smith has just announced the ACC levies on us 'all', from 50cc farts through to grunters, are about to go through the roof.
Where is the screaming here?
Are you all going to simply sit back and take this?
Does Nick Smith intend to levy dirt-bikers? No!
Cyclists? No!
Quad bikers? No.
As usual, a nasal-drip Minister has simply picked on an easy target. Us!
We have to have a licence. Dirt-bikers, quad-riders, and high-speed cyclists don't.
We have to have warrants of fitness. The foregoing do not.
We have to register our bikes. The foregoing do not!
Yet the foregoing can go out there and kill or injure themselves with ACC impunity.
Why is Nick Smith attacking only us?
Simple. We're an easy target.
Well fuckit! I say. I'm sick and tired of being singled out as a burden on the ACC society, when so many others, who don't have to undergo anywhere near the punitive measures I (and all of you) have to undergo just to keep ourselves and our bikes on the roads.
I see there's no levy on rugby and league players. No levy on mountain climbers. No levy on DIYs climbing up ladders. No levey on DIYs sawing off their fingers.
AH! But you see, they're not all out there on the roads so our cops can't see them.
This is pure bullshit, folks, and we, as a collective group have to start fighting it. If we all simply roll over then ten-speed and his mates by the thousand will be laughing up their Lycra at us and, worse yet, many of our bretheren will become criminals who buy Rego stickers for fifty bucks at the local pub.
We have to fight back.
