How about we turn this on its head. The Devil should not have all the good songs

How much money has ACC spent on promoting supportive environments in motorcycling? Or funding courses (of any sort) ? Sweet FA. A little but absolutely tiny on their scale.

In short, if motor cycle injury rates are so bad, in a context where the ACC have done bugger all to prevent injuries (I know they have done a bit, but chicken feed ) then that shows :

Note. The word "insurance" does not appear. And the very first words are "injury prevention".They have decided to ignore their primary function , and pretend they are an insurance company. Even though the act specifically says they are not.

Precisely the point I was trying to make in an earlier post. A hivis vest that has "lookout for motorcycles" printed on it and a dvd that many motorcyclists have neither viewed nor own is not a credible attempt at injury prevention!
If I am to pay more for the right to be injured then I want some bang for my buck. I want the ACC to invest heavily in teaching cage drivers not to run into me.

ACC ≠ Insurance!! Insurance is provided by the AA and they want to screw us!

And I stated somewhere that I happily pay $750 too, as it will cut the idjots from the road and only leave the ones who WANT to ride come hell or highwater.

So being the Devils Advocate here, perhaps it will work?

And you think the 'knee down' crowd aint as passionate as the so called 'sensible' riders?

In fact a guy on a GSXR1000K9 in full race leathers and thousand dollar armoured boots with all the bling is way more likley to still pay the 750 per bike he owns (all one of them) than anyone else, he HAS the bucks and it dont make him any more seriouis a motorcyclist than you or me

And he is still gonna be a crazy bastard risking everyone else on the Hill despite the 750$ so your reasoning is flawed IMO

I ride every day, all weather, my bikes are way more than a passtime or a toy, theyre my main mode of transport as well as my lifestyle, leisure, holiday, you name it

Whatever happens I will be keeping em both anyway
