My first reaction to numbers is that if you have too few call it off. But on reflection this would be wrong on two counts. First it would indicate a defeat and second any protest no matter how few is better than none.
The important thing is sending a message to biker community that some are doing something.
Most protests start with a few hard core activists.
The key to winning or losing is the commitment and time to achieve the objective. And on this score it is far to early for a consensus other than a reduction of ACC levy fees. There will eventullay need to be a co-ordinated goal of what the biker community wants. It may well be that this may pan out into other issues. Personally I think this would be a mistake as it allows opposing forces to offer alternitive solutions desingned to split the original aims and goals of the initial protest.
I'm getting a bit ahead of myself here but eventually there will need to be some kind of co-ordinating group between the buisiness side of the industry, BRONZ, Kiwi Biker, Ulysses. Someone said that HOG could not get involved due to their constitution. Well they need to change their constitution so that they can.
At the end of the day it will come down to a numbers game.
The more bikers that these groups can represent and it is the representation that political parties take notice of the more chance of success.
So come hell or high water those that ride...........do us proud no matter how many or how few.
