    Looking for a Eastern Bays biker or club for a local newspaper interview.

    Hay guys and girls,

    A good friend of mine who works for the local newspaper in the Eastern Bay's area is wanting to write a story on the ACC levies and would like to talk to an experienced rider with an opinion, preferably someone in Whakatane, but not a must and preferably someone who can represent the biker community.

    If you are said person give me a PM or post on this topic.

    PS thanks in advance the more exposure we have for the issue the better.

    He could wander down to Tony Rees or Richard Underwood and ask either of them!... I'm sure if neither of them had much to say, some of their staff might!

    I don't consider myself experienced enough to comment, other than, I'm real brassed off! Oh, and I've made a submission and signed the on-line petition...

    Strangely, BiK3RChiK is usually good at slinging a few comments..

    "I am a licenced motorcycle instructor, I agree with dangerousbastard, no point in repeating what he said."
    "read what Steve says. He's right."
    "What Steve said pretty much summed it up."
    "I did axactly as you said and it worked...!!"
    "Wow, Great advise there DB."

    Me? Have an opinion? Can such a thing be wrought?

    Strangely, my family (wife, me, 2 kids) will be up for about $3-4000 registration annually for our bikes, probably we are the ideal folks to offer an outraged tirade. But we aren't "experienced bikers" - we're just a family who discovered "biking" 18 months ago.

    It is up to you, but I wonder if our story actually be quite good for the paper to run. We might make a good photo too.

    go on db voice your opinion. I think anyone who will have to part with 3k to register there families transport should be able to voice there opinion. Or like biker chick said contact underwoods or tony rees.

    just ask to read the article before they print it as the way they change the wording around you might come out of it looking like a tool.

    Yeah I have been screwed by the media before, but there are no such concerns here.
