Bikeoi! 2010

[Bald Eagle]

Last Parliament Sitting Day before they close for the Christmas Brake.

I like that idea - can we get that actual date. No play nice this time we ride to Parliament all 15000 of us.

Just don't park 400 bikes in front of the parliament driveway

[MSTRS:Me]

Wouldn't it be better (and easier to get HUGE numbers) if Auckland was the target?
South Islanders can 'do' Chch.

Ok theres now 7 pages of various opinions, side tracks, and trolls

Back to the POINT of the topic, especially after yesterdays drama's of Nicks Myths and divide/conquere tactics

WHEN will BIKEOI II happen?

I think Feburary would be a good idea.
Loads of people have to recover from BIKEOI, get through Chrsitmas and New Year (I myself have a new home to move into, major project)

Feb has HOG Rally, Waitangi Day, and afew other distractions BUT I think we need to strike while the irons still warm at least

Given the time of year, any December effort will be pathetic IMO beyond reasonable sized local actions

Any attempt at another NATIONAL event would fizzle
Even then, Feb may be too close too


So......

WHEN!

[mashman]

All this talk of sitting... who practical is a sit in protest?

Waitangi Day has been mentioned before and what better day would there be for some form of "educational" protest. Perhaps a walk down the major shopping streets of major cities, in groups of say 10 (lots of groups), explaining what the new levies (there will hopefully be a decision by then) will mean to job public. I've already got some of the guys at work scratching their heads, because they don't fully understand what these levies are about, they don't understand that a profit was made last year, they don't understand that this is one of the first moves towards privatisation... It's time for education (nice to have media time, but doubt they'll cover it), time to call on the passion that you guys obviously have for your country, hearts and minds... you can get neither if you don't explain yourself properly...

Want over, sorry if it's trollable

[RiderInBlack]

Agree that it is too late to get anything really big organised before Feb. Parliament doesn't Sit until Feb in the New Year anyway. Would allow people who do shift work like myself to book the time off too. But we shouldn't leave it any longer than that.
Dam Media is still banging the line that ACC is Broke and having to make cut backs

[XP@]

Now is the time to invite our friends.
If we really want to make an impact then we have to divert the media away from the "bikers moaning about their $500 increase" and show off the whole scope of the change. Sure the bike levy is going up but the increase the salary deduction and petrol are as bad. The fundamental changes are what we need to fight on.

We should be contacting other organisations representing other affected parties: unions, grey power and truckers to name but a few. Having people walking, on mobility scooters, cycling, riding, driving and trucking in protest will be the only real way to get the full message across that it is NZ being shafted.

To welcome all and include what we are protesting changing the name to ACCOI (pronounced Ack-oi) may be an option.

Agree but that's also where most of NZ take their hols.
Strong Auckland based local mini-bikeoi to Waitangi would be great to see. The next National goes to Parliament when they resume after their Xmas break. A nice big welcome back and we don't play so nice this time.

Sounds like a plan

I vote for the first parliamentary sitting day in the new year - usually mid-Feb. Gives us a chance to get organised! Also the weather is likely to be good...
