    your welcome hopeful, & definitely a responsible rider here

    once we have info & dates I have friends who are not Kbers, but part of other riding groups who have expressed interest in riding to show their displeasure .. I am pretty sure most of us know riders who are not a part of kb but who would be more than interested in riding together to show the displeasure at the increase hikes
    Have to Karma ... Justice catches up eventually !!

    Let's learn something from that previous protest. Why did it work? It worked because it WAS NOTICED. It "seriously disrupted traffic".

    Some people will inevitably be pissed off by our protest action. You can not make a cake without breaking eggs.
    Ride fast or be last.

    That's true Maki but also we don't want to have too many people upset with us either

    It seriously disrupted traffic because it coincided with a test match at Athletic Park
    I remember those days fondly...sigh concert or game traffic days.

    Someone mind checking the calendar to see if any major events we may collide with happening in early November?

    Lots of talk about Nov 5 being a good day but is there gonna be the Fireworks traffic jams of the last 2 years, where the highways stop dead for thousands heading to harbour view spots to view the displays?

    Then again we would aim at mid day I presume, lunchtime convoy?
    Just ride.

    The proposed changes are also affecting numerous other groups.
    A march is organized for tomorrow from victim support and other affected groups. Perhaps we could offer our support.

    Farmers are facing a 70% increase.

    Perhaps we need to be outspoken in support for these groups as well and invite support from them to our plight.

    Phil Goff is also a rider.
    Invite him to the rally.

    Many Police Officers are also weekend riders and I know of several who are up in arms.

    What about contacting your local Opposition MP and offering him/her a seat on the back?

    Whilst I agree that a thousand bikes is going to get attention, imagine if we can also get farmers and other affected parties to join in with us.

    Many of the ideas posted here are of great value and show that we are not a bunch of hoons. Share our concerns and ideas and I believe we will get a lot of non-riders on our side.

    The greater the crowd the greater the impact.

    Many people are also writing to their local national MP advising of the fallout should they allow their Minister to proceed. I bet a few of them are looking down the barrel come the next election.

    If ever there was a time for us ALL to show consideration to all members of the public then it's NOW.
    Dont do anything to bring attention to ourselves for the wrong reasons.

    Nov 5th is good. We need to make sure that the media is well briefed.

    So are we going to have a meeting of the minds to sort out some of the details, and figure out a game plan.

    A Whole bunch of little splinter protests aint gonna do squat !


    There's a whole bunch of threads started by well meaning folk who all want to protest, if they all go off half cocked they wont be noticed at all !

    What you guys should be thinking about, is meeting points for the lower north to gather and then somewhere with massive amounts of room for everyone to congregate, to meet the Bikeoi as it moves down the island from Auckland !
    Accommidation for south island Kbers who travel up for this !
    Billets perhaps or large cabin/tent camp sites, list of motels etc !

    Resorces, like placards (who can sorce them cheap) back up wagons to carry them !
    I'm sure there are enough ideas in the abundance of threads, for what the placards should read !
    Who has properties bordering on the State highways ? And are you willing to put up bill boards leading up to this (educate the masses a little on what a crock ACC are talking up with the stats !

    Where are the welly tag crew with their google map skills, who can find gathering points on the two main arterial routes into the city ?
    The Bikeoi will obviously be coming down SH1, do they really want to travers to the Hutt with up to 3000 bikes in tow (I doubt it)

    I went off half cocked (and half pissed) and started a thread saying i'll book out the local lodge here in otaki for monday labour day, but in reflection there aint no way a bikeoi of the size we want to make a good show, can be organised in that time !!
    KB is only a portion of the riders who will be on this Bikeoi, it will take time to organise and organise well, so it gets a message across and not just become a nuisance to other road users !



    Resorces/accommidation/meeting points/advertising and then sit back and wait till there is news of the main Bikeoi i say !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Well spoken Wingrider.

    I need more people to assist with some tasks here to organize BIKOI Wgtn

    I need:

    Spokesperson-
    preferably someone known to the public, (rugby player, TV actor, local hero types) used to media attention etc

    Communications specialist-
    Someone who has REGULAR dealings with Radio stations, TV stations etc, maybe an advertising type, PR specialist? Speaks the lingo and has connections to get past the front desk etc. Already has DJs and sales teams on speed dial ideally!

    What we have so far

    James is making a flyer for us I believe cheers JD and also he is somewhat a main contributor on policy
    Im the coordinator but as these issues have been identified I realize there is more than I alone can do

    So we have a loosley agreed date- I say we nail the date
    Is Nov 5 suitable to ALL who wish to attend BIKOI Wellington???

    We have obvious numbers and agreement on sane behaviour
    Timing?

    Lunch, or early afternoon?Later afternoon? When is it best to arrive at Parliament?

    So, anyone wanting a volunteer forthe Spokesperson role
    (I will if no one famous is available or willing but someone with cred would be best)

    A volunteer for Media communications specialist (Kari my dear..you spring to mind but I feel you have enough on your plate???)

    And later we need a real meeting to discuss route, etiquette, meet points, final rally solution (do we all meet at Ngaraunga in a coordinated two highway convoy?)

    All this to be addressed

    Volunteers please PM me and I will have you added to the coordinator groups

    Cheers

    BIKOI
    Just ride.

    You could nail some Feaces to the doors of Parliament.Like that Martin Luther dude did.

    Well said Sinny. But we also need to get this happening sooner rather then later. i appreciate that a well cordinated protest will take time to organise, so lets keep this momentum going and get it happening. Is there any consensus yet on dates? I havent been following all the threads, as here are just too many of them. Stoney and BE - thanks for your efforts in this. You are both legends

    Bronze auckland are meeting on wednesday ! Why don't we wait till that happens ! See what large scale Bikoi is going to be organised, if any ! Instead of turning up on parliments steps with 40 or so Kiwibiker website geeks and looking stupid !

    Stoney, why don't you put your hand up for position of Bronze wellington co-ordinator and go to the meeting ! If you need help with funds to get to the meeting, i'm willing to help you there and also give you my subs ($20) to become a Bronze member !

    We don't want that - half of them don't know what end the bullet comes out of.

    Stoney,

    I run a Motel on the kapiti coast.

    I am prepared to offer accommodation at $20 per head on the following basis.

    No patches.
    People will have to share rooms as beds are limited.
    Rooms will be left clean and tidy and all dishes used are washed and put away.

    people will conduct themselves in a proper manner.

    There are numerous cafe's and takaways within walking distance and meals available from $10

    people may email me direct to arrange bookings.

    I will post here as soon as rooms are full.

    Wise words, and mate if I could get to the meeting in Aucks ontime and back again for work the next morning I would be in.

    Could maybe fly up, but would need a crazy lanesplitting local to get me to the meeting

    Funds would be an issue but I dont expect it to be truly possible at this point bro, however I will be joining bronz as well
    I will ask them regards a wellington chapter opening, I for one am keen to help run it



    Sinny your a legend man I take it youve now volunteered to lead down the Manawatu / south Taranaki contingent?

    Just ride.
