Love the "Word got out about our interview via a motorcylce website and more than a dozen riders turned up, some coming from Levin and Tawa, despite it being a weekday afternoon"
Yeah, you slackers!! Go to work!! But seriously, good show guys. Oh and obviously traveling from Tawa to the Hutt is a really long way!!!

I had to finish work early and ride all the way from Wellington. It took me ages to get there and I used lots of petrol.

Then that fat B'stard Stoney blocked me from the pic. If you look closely, you can just about see my shoulder over StoneY's left shoulder.

But I do that every day - both ways!

Hehehe was a Hutt reporter, Tawa may as well be Samoa to him

Good work guys but I hate to point out it back fired. It provided the perfect back ground story for the Paper to repeat the nonsense from ACC (on the same page) that says the same old consistent message from ACC about evey car driver having to subsidise us by $77.

Dude are you Nick Smiths fuckin ass buddy or what?

How many times do you need to get ya fuckin calculator out...do you think the average voting age Kiwi cannot see through the 77 dollar bullshit?

I work in IT supporting Business Intelligence Software designers
They INSTANTLY laughed at those figures ACC put out, before we even said the word BIKEOI this myth was busted, and more and more peole know it too

Let ACC spam the bullshit around, repeating it over and over does not make it true and no one will fall for it

And its no rebuttal, its an ADVERTISMENT!!!
Back fired MY ASS

Perhaps I didn't stress the "GOOD WORK GUYS" bit enough. It was an excellent story. Well done StoneY and the team! You have accomplished more than I have achieved.

I was just a bit annoyed with the paper that your story got hijacked a little by the ACC.

Your absolutely right for those people following the ACC Levy story and those whom have heard our story or done some thinking and worked it out the rebuttal advertising is actually strengthening our case. Incidentally it may be that it's cut off in the image you posted, StoneY, but the ACC rebuttal is not identified as an advertisement?

Normal press protocol is to label advertisements as adverts when any doubt may occur. I've placed quite a bit of 'advertorial' in the press over the years and then press/publishers have always insisted that it be labelled advert.

Congratulations and well done on getting your story printed!

[StoneY]

Ah sorry Wobbly I see where your coming from, thought you were reffering to the 1/4 page ads in the dailies

My bad bro, apologise for nutting off two posts back


Ive gotten 'overinvolved' with this subject, need a hot spa, a Swedish blonde massuese and a few days out methinks

Roll on Christmas woohooo

I don't think the average kiwi gives a fuck,let alone knows how many registered cars there are so he can do the sums

[howdamnhard]

Well done StoneY , keep up the good work . We still need some sort of counter to the ACC 's bullshit stats though to expose them to the public. Most people couldn't be bothered to work out stats themselves and will therefore believe ACC which will not be good for us.
Hopefully their bullshit stats will be exposed at Bikio in Wlg on the 17 Nov.
