I'm all for the idea of a protest ride to nelson or wellington, just let me know when. If it was combined with signing a petition and the TV crews were informed it could be a powerfull step in the right direction. Just how many bikers are there in NZ? could be good for the public to know that too.

Sorry to break it to you timid types, but no one will notice or care about your protest unless you piss somebody off. Riding slowly in a group and snarling up traffic IS a passive protest. You are not committing any act of violence that way. If you don't want to do anything that causes disruption, then just stay at home and bitch about the ACC levies. It will have exactly the same effect, namely a big fat 0.

is anybody available in CHCH for a meeting somewhere in town next week so we can work out a plan, enough talking on the forum about all this, lets get together and sort something out, as many people as possible to attend.

As for a night ride, we could all cruise the aves on a Saturday night and block traffic there.

Yes it's why I suggested the snarling up the parking meters. Even for only half the day. And it's lawfull. Lot of shoppers in Nelson on Saturday morning. But it would involve a night ride to get there in the early hours of the morning so as to take up all the availble parking space on the main street. It's important that Smith be in Nelson if this was to go ahead. The unknown factor is what the locals will do. Will they try and stop this or give support. It would mean riding en masse and with few gas stations open or having card facilities this option may be ruled out.

As for blocking traffic: the truckies were the big boys on the road...................not a bright course of action for us at this stage.

Also, their protest achieved nothing apart from making them feel better.

There are flyers around for a protest ride on December 5th. Not sure exactly who organising it. December 5th. Meet at the Peg at 10am. Riding to confront a certain someone who is going to be opening a golf course that day. Maybe need to do something else, as well, before this tho??

Yes. Too late. It'll be all done and dusted by then.

SHIT MAN... this sort of mentality is what has our levies going up, use ya sweed aye and think about this for a second, we need the other traffic on our side, enough cagers already hate bikers doing the crap you sugest will not and can not help in any way what so ever.

And remember, such posts and actions posted here will reflect on KB and its boss 'spankme' I dont think he will aprove.
