BIKEOI - When? The final poll

**Ixion** · 20th October 2009, 21:10

It just got more complicated

I'm off to find a nice cosy gas oven to put my head in.

Sir Owen Woodhouse would be a more appropriate speaker.

I'd keep Goff out of it too if possible. Mind you he'll want to have his say. I just don't know how he would be recieved.

care to share and unburden yourself to the masses, its probly a safer option than the oven, well if you ignore the possibility of a lynching if it really turns out badly.

I do not envy you taking the job of national BIKOI co-ordinator, though I do applaud it

Unless this date has been finalised, though i have seen no thread indicating such.

You're right. The date has not yet been formalised. I think it would be wise to hold off for another 24 hours before putting the (assumed) date out there!

Correction: Mr Ixion has always denied being the National BIKOI Coordinator! Please don't make the gas oven any more tempting! (Anyway no more ACC for suicides...)

Indeed, ill drop that guy a PM asking him to hold off before it gains too much momentum.

Good idea.

**sunhuntin** · 21st October 2009, 11:07

have we got an idea of what TIME we need to be at parliament, cos i will need to arrange a place to crash on monday night if we have to be there early tuesday? dont want to dick people around arranging times and places and then having to back track and arrange something else.

I have suggested about mid-day but the time is yet to be set. I believe parliament begins sitting at 2pm on a Tuesday, and that is when MPs are required to be in the debating chamber. So some time before that (but not too early) would be best, IMO.

Can anyone get hold of a detailed parliamentary schedule?

**StoneY** · 21st October 2009, 12:03

My opinion on timing (and I used to work in a roll that meant frequent visits to the chamber) is be THERE by 2.30 pm

This allows them to get to their seats, and not get too far into points of the day before we disrupt them

Also we can make our escape around 330 without pissing off every Wellington commuter

Just a suggestion tho- no plan is yet made so suggestions peeps, no point making anything solid yet

I reckon if we had 2 convoys depart from Papkowhai and Avalon Park at same time around 2pm, we would be smack ontime.
Stright into Murphy st, past train station, back round to Molesworth and bang were there, no city impact at all

A lead rider (or a cage) in both groups, with pillions/passengers that are in contact via text can also get the groups to the bottom of the gorge at the same time.

We could have 2 bike shop signwritten utes/trucks do that for us, pace car style and a passenger to run comms....good idea HE

I have alerted a number of bike shops to our meeting on Thursday, not one has said they would not attend

If you turn up at the PMCC event on the 5th you will be 4 days late David !!!
And the 17th is a teusday and is when parliment is sitting (pretty sure if a national protest ride makes it's way to wellington they wont be getting there till then) I'm sure your dunga will get you here by then !!

I'll be in taupo 14th and 15th and i'm pretty sure i'll make it !

Be at the wellington meeting on thursday night and depending what comes out of the Bronze meeting tonight, i'll be doing my darndest to make sure no half arsed regional protest happens in wellington !
All well and good for other regions but not in wellington !!!! Thats where the Main protest should be seen to happen, not a wee KB one where EVERYONE will say Pffft was that it ???

That would prolly be wise !
How can we as KBers (where is the poll standing now 150 voters only 90 odd voted for the 15-to 17th) say when this will be happening ?
Why don't we wait till Ixion gets back to us re the meeting tonight lol !

Just my $0.02 worth...

Aucklanders - leave on the 15th and make their way slowly down the Island. Same with Southies

Stay half way on your trip - Remember! WE CANT BIN!

make the trip into your accomodation on the 16th - Remember, We need rest

And then smack them Pollies hard on the 17th when they sit.
