    good to catch up with the familiar faces and saying Hi to some new ones

    Thanks to Rabbi for picking me up and had a great ride on the Hog

    the numbers of bikers was ok as it was never meant to be as large as last Nov, however the union numbers were low ..

    however there will be this november again when the bikers can turn out in force .. we are not going away
    Have to Karma ... Justice catches up eventually !!

    I was feeling guilty for being unable to attend today due to a follow up appointment at the eye clinic.
    Now I am relieved that I didn't go given the poor showing by the non motorcycle interests.

    Regardless ... My sincerest gratitude to Stoney and Co for all the plannig and organising to keep this issue alive.

    I will be there at the next one.

    I am just going to wait and see the positives that come out of this, all will be revealed in good time!

    Big well done to our biker reps and organisers.

    How did your speech go riffer, I thought you put that together well, would have liked to have heard it.

    Just one more phase of the war, Smith, Smythe, shit or shite might be feeling a bit cocky after that one but he'll keep!

    Might have to change tack on strategy for next time, maybe!

    good to see everyone, and to finally put some faces to names. cheers to everyone that helped organise todays protest.. count me in for november

    this all makes me wonder though, why hasn't there been more attention to this in the news, or other tv programs that get their ratings by exposing bullshit like this? Most people I've spoken to seem to think Labour put ACC in the red, private insurers would get us a better deal, etc etc

    Okay. Put a spin on it.

    The bikers are pissed off with mr Smith - 10000 odd turn up and demand his blood.

    The unions are pissed off with Mr Smith - 50 odd turn up and whimper.

    What does that say is the most potent political force - and thus least safe to piss off ?

    That's Fat Maxx! And damn, that's one sexy RF900 in the first pic. Makes that gixxer look positively anorexic!
    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.

    Enough poo pooing the unions for a poor showing when we could only muster a pitifull amount of riders also !!!
    Good on those that made the effort and showed up and good on the opposition for making a public statment that it will be reversed if they get in (vote conjuring i will admit) but it was in public !

    Sooooo back to the bridge ????
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    How do you post an attachment?
    I couldn`t find any way to, and my pictures came out too big.
    So big in fact, I`ve been issued with some "infraction" for doing so.
    If not I`ll scrub the f`in things.

    You've done it right...EXCEPT the size is too big. You need to run your originals through a shrink program (like Mihov, for instance) to reduce each pic to something like 500x300 pixels. Then replace your original postings with the resized images.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Im disappointed with the union turn out, tho to be honest its kinda what I expected (sorry Im not a huge union fan because of well things like this really their lack of commitment.).

    But more important matters, does anyone know where I can find a clip of Fat Maxx singing the ACC song???

    More ratings are available by telling the country about the really important stuff...like who Alison Mau is sleeping with...
