My response to Tillyboy.
When ACC first proposed these changes to ACC and the way levies were to be levelled at those groups who were higher risk.
It was NZ's motorcyclists who were targeted by ACC and Government.
With massive increases on their already significantly higher ACC levies.
The Motorcyclists got together and quickly got their messages into print and onto shirts.
motorcyclists realised very early on that this was the opening round.
The Govt with ACC's collusion were taking us on first, if they could crack the bikers/Motorcyclists, then the way would be clear to SHAFT the rest of the motoring public as well.Hence our Slogan.
"WHO'S NEXT???"
Now then Mr,tell me again who are we concerened about?????????????????.
First yes, Ourselves? of course, we've been made the scape goat for ACC's poor investment strategy and the total missmanagement of their own failing systems.
Secondly we saw what is coming and we didn't like it.
We;ve stood up and told the ACC, No way.
We've told the general motoring public at every protest ride and the Bikehoi that we know they're next, slowly but surely they are coming to realise this.
In their thousands they are now offering their support unconditionally.I have yet to speak to a car driver of any age who can't see whats happening NOW and who are grateful and respectful of how WE have handled this protest and ourselves so far.
ACC has and still continues to tell the general public , lies about how much it costs to rehabiliate us.
Fact,we cost less than cyclists, pedestrians, car drivers, or truckies.
Certainly less than mountain bikers, skiers or off road bike users.ACC's own figures prove this catagorically.
You get to be subsidised by us, bet you didnt know that but our good mate Nicks Myth told us that himself Last Monday night.You pay no ACC levy as a majorly high risk recrational user of ACC's services, but we do and your injuries and compensation most often comes out of our (the supposed on road motorcyclists) account.
So I ask you as a rider, did you go to Wellington to make your protest about your motorcycle levies going up?
Did you or have you attended any actual protests in your local area to do the same.
If not why not?
if you did , I thank you for taking the time.
Thats my response to your post, my very slowly typed and frequently edited response that is.
