    I think it is disgusting.

    It really is an insult.

    I will not be buying more licensing when it runs out and I will be putting it on hold until a time when it is the same cost to licence my motorcycle as it costs to licence my car.

    Ok, so I have called you all to War

    Doesn't mean it has to be destructive chaos, just solid, never ending actions
    Something every week, something visible, keep the message live

    The new message HAS to be "see we told you, and now its YOUR turn, don't blame us, do some math, you can see your being ripped off like we are
    Return to the Woodhouse principles, nothing less"

    You guys should have seen Kari in action at the Nats cocktail gig

    Now, im down (personally) till next Wednesday regarding 'non operational orders' due to soon expire

    Once I can ride again....we are off
    Action time!

    Just have to respect Joe when we take the action, he is comin more and more onside every day
    The BIG one in Feb can be when our action plans all combine, and hopefully we get the public behind us in huge numbers

    Yes its war, but lets fight smart
    I stand somewhere between Idyl, and Kari in intention, parts of me wanna burn effigy's to incite revolution, other parts say 'keep talking, keep negotiating'

    Bottom line is, we gotta keep the pressure on
    Word
    Just ride.

    Numbers, statistics and bloody lies

    The first phase is over and time to target the pollies and educate the wider public about the ongoing impact on us all next year and every year after that until jj & smith achieve their goal.

    The media won't ask the hard questions or do the research themselves, they rely on the spin doctor handouts.

    acc reserves have increased to $14.3b with an increase in investment returns of $0.6b (source, The Treasury 10 Dec 09) , acc is not broke, never was, it was the right-down in investments in land, the share and bond markets that caused the fabricated budget crisis.

    Stoney, I'm more than prepared to ride down again, just tell us when.

    From the article link in a previous post:

    "Peter McIntosh, president of the 4000-member Ulysses Club for motorcyclists, said the lower levy rises represented a victory.

    "They're much better than we expected."

    Who is this guy?....I suggest we find him and knock some sense into him! It's people like this that present a spineless picture of our motorcycle community, which in turn suggests that we are happy with the increases...

    ARE WE?! I don't think so!

    I believe our fight is about equality...across the board, no exceptions
    Wasn't happy seeing him on telly. My Ulysses membership is cancelled.

    FUCK NO, no WAY, no chance

    ACC restored to nothing less than Sir Owens original concept

    And I stand by it phred, but i was RAGING as I posted post 1, and I still intend to keep the battle rolling forward, and I still insist I will settle for nothing less than no increase

    Im also smart enough to know there is only so far we can go without losing public support, theres the kicker in the whole mix

    Idyl.
    I have a target in mind...be in touch soon
    Just ride.

    Um.. don't forget the $2.6b that was struck off the balance sheet due to international financial reporting standards. This is called a paper entry, meaning no change in $$ at all.

    But I think you will find that most in it are 'retired'.

    I still like the idea of Bikeoi 2010, as a staging post to take all affected groups to Parliment, 20,000 on the lawns of Parliment and equal or greater numbers in other main centres, if they can't hear 100,000 + people then I wouldn't know what would work, other than bloody revolution, and I would like to not play that card.
    But lets be clear what our message is, lets be clear about what we are fighting for.

    It is clear Pedro mate
    We have coined a new name for the Feb event, saving BIKEOI for purely bike actions, and this BIG march, I have invited all the unions and such to, is been dubbed

    "Damn the Levies'
    March with us to save ACC from the Government

    Oh and it will be led by bikers, all the way
    Just ride.

    The politicians know that,and it's playing into their hands,and what we've done so far,is only affecting the general public.

    Do you think taking up car parks is affecting politicians?
    All that's doing,is pissing off other motorists.

    We need to be more assertive then that,if you're going to see any results at all,otherwise the pollies will just ignore us!!!
