Has anyone actually done an analytical report yet? If not I need stats, STAT!

balance will be mopeds. The 62104 is actually full year equivalents. A bike registered for 6 months of the year (as folk do) counts as 0.5.

NO the document says 62104.This includes 0-125cc ie mopeds. It also says "number of licensed vehicles" It does not say equivalents based on part rego's. You are interpreting the number

No. communication to me from Paul Gimblett at ACC

[QUOTE = ACC]
The numbers provided for vehicle are "vehicle years" - that is the number of equivalent full year licensed vehicles (ie a motorcycle licensed for 6 months is counted as 0.5). I'm sorry for any confusion it was not clear to me at the time I forwarded them to our media area.

Ixion I am no longer interested in the money and submissions

I will have to think hard about being on any more rallies as well.

The game for me changed today.

This is out of my league. Its one thing fighting the ACC another fighting 2.4M car drivers.

Why you ask. Well read on.

This is the email I have just sent to keith mclea of the ACC.

=======================================

To Keith McLea

Up until now I had been following the legal fare processes of submitting my questions, and views to the consultation process, playing by the rules as I thought they were, but today things changed.

I thought I was arguing against what I see as unfair levy increases, but I now literally find myself possibly risking my life every day I ride my bike. A higher level of risk than I had yesterday.

ACC what have you done ?

Why am I so upset ?

Today I overheard a conversation between some people who must have read your advert or have been told about it
and it scared me.

Quote as I remember it.

"If ACC charge me more because of bikes, lets start knocking them off to get our moneys worth ."

"If I have to find more money because of bikes i'll stop feeling sorry for them when they get hit by cars."

Ill informed as the statements may be, ACC you have to accept some of the blame and responsibility for what you have started.
You have gone from a caregiver to inciting hate.

We are in a time of financial depression were people are finding it hard to make ends meat.
People need every last cent they earn, and you have gone to a National Paper and pointed a massive finger at a bikers and said
" When we make you pay more to drive your car, blame bikers!"

After hearing what I did today, this is nothing short of unwittingly staring up hatred. Yes I have chosen my words carefully.

The people I overheard were not low life's but looked to be professionals. I do not know if they were joking or not, but what will now happen when you do up the car levy, and the real anger starts amongst the 2.4m car driver

You have just painted a $77 death target on every bikes back

Thanks for nothing ACC and make me pay an extra $500 for the privilege.

exactly, this acc campaign isnt just about revenue, its about getting bikers off the roads. They create a divide between us and the biggest road user group, with the hopes they they will A) not support us in getting the increase scrapped and B) convince bikers not to ride, i doubt they want bikers to be run off the road, but it would surprise me if they cared.
