After BIKEOI by Car?

**mashman** · 16th November 2009, 11:02

should the ACC still throw on a huge levy, might it be worth using cars for the non-peaceful protests?

It would certainly be a shitload safer.
It could help get around the negative press in relation to bikes protesting.
It would take up even more of the roads...
Would give plenty of room for banners etc...
Could give the impression that car drivers are also annoyed at the "prospective" changes to the ACC and that they are supporting motorcycles...

and on and on...

If not, then why?

Fully behind that. If only for the extra congestion it will cause.

Might be a bit hard to make the connection between angry bikers and bikers-driving-cars.

Unless we all wear our helmets...

... or strap some angry bikers to the outside of the car. Perhaps run into a group of them, then leave them spreadeagled on the outside?

Flat Deck truck came to mind, but then changes about 4 years back made it illegal to have people in dedicated frieght carrying vehicles without proper seats

Wonder how they get exemptions for the 7's parade to ride in/on trailers?

I see:
2 cars leading the charge in both lanes
10 or so LOUD bikes in the middle, 2 abreast in each lane (4 in total)
2 cars or utes (trucks even) at rear, all doing 20kms along the road, banners saying 'dont like congestion? support the local Motorcyclists, because they support you by freeing up the road' etc........

All for it but bikes need to be present
Cages can be safety barriers

Swathed in prortest posters, with nude blondes driving em!!!!!

i would be happy to come along.

maybe look at buying a wrecked bike that has been hit by a car and strap it to the flatdeck ute?

In ways that's kinda the point... The levy won't stop with us, and we're only protesting for us just now... should we not stop it, why not then go for mass disruption, get the ACC campaign running properly including cagers, truckers etc... (MY GOD CARS AND BIKES TOGETHER, CATS AND DOGS KISSING, MASS HYSTERIA... IT'LL BE THE END OF THE WORLD)... and if that happens, it's the last place you wanna be riding a bike... well it's the last place i'd like to be doing it!!!

I disagree with one part of that... we shouldnt be discriminating based on hair colour, nude blondes or brunettes should be driving! Just not gingas

Me is a Ginga!
You saying you would not let Nicole Kidman drive the lead car????

Seriously, this is how the BIKEOI started, a jest...and we ran with it
So, set a parameter Mashy mate

2 lead cars, 20 bikes, nude women, and followed by 2 Mack tractor units (no trailers needed) as TEC/ride security?

I like this, and happy to be anyones wingman on it
Will even let one of the nude chicks pillion wiv me!!!

If this can be arranged, for impact, do the exact same convoy in each of the 5 main cities on the same day in the 'to work' rush hour
Dont hold anyone up getting home...counterproductive

But imagine 5,000 'im late to work' phone calls nationwide on the same morning!!!!

Aucks needs 3 convoys, Welly needs 2.....(puts on planning cap and starts networking all over again)
