Good question.
We'll ask tomorrow and try and get you some.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Are you going the back roads?

If anyone has good ideas to pass the flyer on, volunteer. Let's create some sub-groups to share messages so we aren't doubling up too much but that the load is shared.
Good work to all those who've been involved, whether helping Stoney or just telling your mates.

Looks like the state highways will be full of bikes again for 3-4 days, good stuff
You travellers all take due care ok, BIKEOI had 0 inbound incidents lets make this event the same (and avoid the tragic outbound incident next time too we hope)
Just ride.

Ok i just read a PM from an Employer, and granted taking 'sickies' might not be kosher to some.
I stand by my stance that THIS is the ONE political battle in the coming decade that every Kiwi, employer or employee, needs to support.
EMPLOYERS stand to lose a huge chunk of profits that will eventually end up as increased charges to the clientelle
On the day of the BIKEOI TSS Red Baron and a few other bike shops closed doors in some cases, allowed half the staff in other cases, to attend the BIKEOI on full pay
Now while thats because thier industry was under direct threat of the increased levy on bikes. this situation is no different IMO
Truckies levy goes up 500%
Where is that gonna end up? On ya Milk and Eggs making that Omlette cost another dollar to make
Roofers, 800% increase
You like sitting in a dry house? It just cost another 1500 buck on the average re-roof once the levy hike filters downhill
Dont even ask about the deep sea fisherman...(when I was on the trawlers as a younger man my ACC lecy was 5c in the dollar, highest in the list back then)...I dread to think what a fish n chip dinner will cost by 2012 if we let the Nats sell ACC off
So while a 'sickie' has been accused of being theft, face it, lose a half day today to keep the system fair, or start paying the ferryman for a ride in a dinghy accross a very rough river
Do you all realize that one of the changes being written in is that you will HAVE to use up all your sick pay and annual leave when your injured before ACC entitlement will even kick in?
And youll have only 70% compensation not 80% and thats WITH your levy contribution doubling, tripplin, quadrupling in many cases yet your entitelmenst shrink? ANd if your in need of more than 12 months of support in the 13th month you drop to 60% and at 2 years entitlement will cease unless YOU pay a private specialist for assessment out of YOUR 60% income?
Oh and no one is re-instating the 'right to sue for personal damages' that still hides behind the cleverly written ACC act....yet your entitlements are GONE baby, utterly gone
ACC gave the goverment 700 MILLION doallrs from its 'operational budget execess' last year, and still has 1billion left more than it paid out in the whole period
ITS NOT BROKE!!!!!!! It does NOT NEED FIXING!
Unless we can remove the 50 or so over 200k earners from the management and start refusing bulk payouts to bludgers (thats all it needs FFS!) there is nothing wrong with ACC
Kieth Mclea and John Judge were appointed by JK and immediatley gave themselves a 40% payrise over their predecessor's, how is that fair management of a Govt controlled asset? Its become a trough for the current government and they simply want to make money in thier private investment portfolio's, there is no thought for the little guy in this heinous proposal from Nick Smith and John Judge
The Nat's are simply trying to sell it off so JK's mates in merril Lynch can make 200 million extra profuit at theexpense of YOU and ME and even worse, OUR KIDS and GRANDKIDS
Pay as you go works, because no one can predict how many people will be hurt in a year or how much it will cost
Now call me a zealot, a misguided fool if you like I really dont care
If these changes go through, dont cry to me later, becasue I warned you, employers, contractors, workers alike, this has to be stopped or we become a miniture USA
Just ride.
The instructions are simple...
If those figiures are right, why doesn't the CTU take out an ad (like ACC did) to inform NZ of this stuff?
A letter to the editor is all very well, but very few actually bother to read them...
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

CTU paid for big screen advertising at the Stadium for both ACDC and for the 7's tourney, 6k they put up, be a bit much to hit up all the national rags sadly.
CTU has no giant warchest like Nyx Myth can access....but they have paid for the screens, printing, and ACC Futures have paid for Printing, and the PA system.
On another note
Need volunteers to pass out the flyers for them too at One Love in Haitatitai and at the 7's (train station and thorndon quay entry)
Just ride.
