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?

No !
I will wait and see what if any, plans Bronze come up with, before putting my hand up for anything !
If you want to put your hand up as welly co-ordinator and go to the meeting, talk to Ixion and get him to make a few calls, to check if there is anybody come forward yet !
If not, go to the Air NZ site and see what flights will get ya there and back on time and the cost and get back to me with whether it's a viable option (missed a track day yesterday so have a couple of bucks in the account) I'm sure there will be others who might like to help get you there, so we can co-ordinate this thing properly !

Lots of little groups of bikes chirping in main centres will sound like lots of little groups of bikes chirping in main centres ! A group of several thousand bikes riding into the capital would be a worry for them in parliment !

Ok, maybe we could do two rides, all area's have their own immediate stress/pressure valve blowoff with a Mini BIKOI (Nov 5 for welly) and folow on with a massive nationwide one to arrive on say, parliaments opening day....but we dont have much time left this year is all

Sorry I'm a bit of a late contributor - I agree with Jim here.

Public perception and education is important IMHO - I heard some yahoo at the supermarket mouthing off loudly in my direction saying: "Blah, blah ACC levy increases for motorbikes..blah, blah fair enough wank, wank blah" and then hopping into his car before I could politely start up a conversation with him.

So with ill-informed members of the public like that around I don't want to be part of an "us and them" thing or a "let's piss everyone off while we try to get our point across" bike ride. But, that's just me.

Totally agreed, hence why i think a weekend date may have been better.
But I also see the need to get to Parliament on a suitable day

I have a proposition

We do a small, SANE well behaved local BIKOI in each region, (welly on Nov 5 we seem to agree)
Small, non obstructive as best a spossible, to raise immediate visibility and get them familiar with 'BIKOI'

With proper time and BRONZ oversight, arrange a massive nationwide one heading south to north at a later date, arriving at Parliament on a Sunday for the sake of not offending the public as best we can

Education and support never stops, this is a chance for motorcyclists to cop major support if we play this right

I have volunteered to be BRONZ wellington coordinator.
Still need a spokesman and media specialist but could have leads there already

Talk to Bronze mate !! Don't go getting a spokesman and media specialist untill you have an idea what needs to be said !!
A half cocked gun could shoot you in the foot !!!
