Nat. Party Conference Protest Ride 18-10-09

[Hopeful Bastard]

Add to learnings:

Noise makers needed - those canned noise things. Too hard to get back to bike to toot horn when needed

And leaflets we need leaflets .

Went to the $2+ shop.. They have them for $3.50

I have been putting together fundraising Protest Action Kits here in Auckland. HB, you could buy a bunch of the $3.50 noise makers, take them along to your local protests, sell them to fellow bikers at a small profit, and (after you subtract your expenses) put the rest into the BIKOI War Chest to fund more protest action.

In Auckland our kits sell for $10 and have some combination of the following:

• yellow fluoro vest
• whistle
• horn
• hand-held noise maker of some kind
• yellow balloons
• black marker pen for writing slogans on vest and balloons

Go on, give it a go! It's fun!

I'm betting if you are at the venue before the dear leader arrives, the blueshirts will move you on...

hope I'm very wrong.

If you park legally is there anything they can do about it?

I think so, if they can class you as one group(which they will definately do with biker scum) they can make it an unlawful assembly, or one of several other crazy laws they have ready for such eventualities... but definately try,I'm not a naysayer here

You do realise we've already been and gone and done it, don't you?

Nobody made us go away although apparently a hotel staffer tried to stop a moving bike by grabbing the rider's elbow.

Anyway, we got John Key and his colleagues to notice us and talk about us inside the conference, so we're counting it as a success.

Oh for goodness sake, talk about killing the fun early!

I love it when little tits turn themselves into giant boobs and you've forced the issue to a head early.

Darn it.

Nice friendly cops. On our side. Reminds me, we gotta advise them of the 10th Nov ride (and maybe the 31st too). I'll txt him. And the Thursday ride, though he might not be up for that. Rides a ZX10.

Oops! Sorry to spoil your fun.

Shall I delete my post and let them continue?

[James Deuce]

Go on, they'll never notice!
