To those willing to deliberately screw the BIKEOI plan

[Kennif]

........Sounds like a well organised knitting circle. Where's the passion, the hate?
Are we bikers or minnows politely asking the minister to reconsider?

Ah ... I just realised. You're taking the PISS aren't you! Phew ... for a minute or two there i thought you wus serious.

[Coldrider]

Sigh.

This will be the BIGGEST ever rally on Parliaments lawns, anyone dumb enough to not realize that they have a very well set and trained security force is truly living in la la land
2,500 is to date the most people ever to arrive at parliament in a protest

Reasonable request was as simple as this:

Dont fuck the city up like the truckies did, it wont work in your favour

So, to have a CHANCE to make our message heard LOUD and CLEAR we agreed to compromise

When has any government in NZ folded to force??????

Remember 1981 Springboks tour?
I do....saw many of my neighbors smashed with batons and not ONE game was even interrupted
Two of our riders in this event WERE cops back then, and now are coming along to make a stand with us, thats says a lot about the diversity WE represent!

There are LOADS of people in this city that do NOT ride Motorbikes coming down to watch us arrive, hear our side of the story, and dozens of TV camera's arranged.
The word is out in Wellington, we are coming, and coming en masse
That's enough, there's no need for aggro to make our point (YET)

Great look that would be, playing tough neanderthal for the TV camera's and alienating the rest of New Zealand, keep it up

Has the pig threatened to baton us or not? Very simple question.

[Paul in NZ]

Has the pig threatened to baton us or not? Very simple question.

Simple but dangerous question and of course no ones threatening anyone other than ACC threatening us... But asking questions like that will cause tension so why bother? At the moment I'd say the Police were on our side, even neutral is really on our side given who pays them.

As the Pointy haired Boss says - If you find a whole mess of stupid - don't poke it with a stick.

[rustic101]

inappropriate and unprofessional to threaten anyone.

Just remeber you are the master of your own destiny.....

[Pedrostt500]

There are quiet a few cameras around Parliment, and a hell of alot more on the various other government buildings in the blocks around Parliment, all with very good street views.

So now we hide the truth ?

[SixPackBack]

Mr SPB - you listen here you (As I poke..poke...poke you with my knitting needle).
You can still be passionate, you don't have to ask anything, you have something to say, and you say it - but just don't blow all the hard work with dumbarsed antics.
The stoopid knuckledragging approach will end future meetings and potential progress.
Show you are a united big voice, that needs listening to.

Make us proud!

Lets hope your knitting needles are sharp. Wearing a bikini might get us more than 10 seconds of TV coverage-just a thought.

What paranoid fantasy triggered your delusions?

And here I thought you'd call me a sickopants (again)...
Phhhoaaar - Just remember to shave your bikini line SPB and we might grab 5 seconds extra

I thought this originally was an invitation to all motorcyclists to ride to parliament to protest the acc levies. What's changed? This ride isn't 'owned' by anyone, so why the dictatorship. What is so hard to understand about a ride to parliament? I'd like to bet $50 you won't be able to stop Michael Dobson, nor will you be able to stop the hundreds of others who WILL go to Parliament.

[taff1954]

...... all it will take is one fuck up or act of stupidity and the media can turn the whole thing in favour of ACC, thus negating all the effort put in by Stoney, Ixion et al.

Calm sensible heads on the day..... Please

There's been a few postings in the levies forum over the last month that have alluded to the fact that organising and marshalling bikers is a bit like herding cats. There are more than a few who will want to scatter and do things their own way, right or wrong.

On this occasion, however, we need to be more like the big cats, working as a seamless team to bring down the prey, striking from many directions, but nevertheless, working together. The first, or even second and third attempts may not be sucessful, but eventually, the pride will bring down it's target. We can bitch and scrap before, and after the hunt, but on the day, we must pull together. Period.

See you all in Wellington, November 17th.

Ride safe.

It is the written word there matey, but then apparently according to you, all motorcyclist are 'thick'.
Can I get my uni money back.

I wonder where they will park?

[Mully]

I wonder where they will park?

Wherever they want, apparently.

Up to and including the steps of parliament

Did you see what happened to the clown that did the Wheelies on the last Ulysses run. They will deal.

for those that didnt attend, can you share some more details. a co worker has decided to attend, and he can be known to show off a tad [genuinely nice guy who would give you the shirt off his back, just hasnt settled down yet. lol] and im trying to convince him to play nice. ive already told him that plates will be recorded and given to the cops, but dont think he has understood that fully. cheers!
