We're watching you, Mr Smith. Protest 27th June 2010

**BRONZ** · 9th June 2010, 12:13

We're not happy. You're gouging money from bikers. Where's it going ?

Just what are we getting for our massively increased levies?

We've been told that a bunch of grumpy bikers are planning to turn out to demand some answers : to remind Mr Smith that we're not happy. And that we're watching him.

And to show him exactly what he can do with his A.C.C.

When ? Sunday 27th June.

Where . Eastern Viaduct.

Slight change to location. Queens wharf down at the viaduct, not the Eastern carpark itself. They're right next to each other, same map. Follow the directions of the marshals

And some extra grumpy people may ride on to other places afterward. Not that we know anything about that.

. (less than 20km, easy riding, and very legal., No speed limits will be brioken. Quite the reverse. )

Be aware also that we may probably be breaking some rules of some sort.. This meeting may not be totally respectfull. Or polite. So anyone that has major issues with keeping squeaky clean and rule compliant may want to flag this one.

Some folk may want tp wear a mask. or balaclava. Or skull mask . We're encouraging masks and balaclavas. After all, it'll probably be cold.

Probably be wet too. So if you're a wimp, you probably want to flag this one.

Otherwise, if you're not afraid of getting wet, and don't like bending over and taking it (there's a hint there for you) , be there. Disrespectfully, and noisily.

Central Auckland. Eastern Viaduct . 27th June 11am.

Anyone that can lead a group from the outskirts, (West gate, Autobahn, Dairy Flat ? ,) please post up , so groups can get organised.

Why's it in the middle of the night?

**madbikeboy** · 9th June 2010, 13:14

I for one certainly won't be there. I'll be hanging with SloFox (he's my alibi for that night). Now, where did I leave my balaclava?

Because they are to scared to create to much disturbance to the public?

Or it's outside someones house?

Just my guess

Fixed. Always get that wrong. Like East West. Why must they complicate things.

Why not just write it 2300hrs and there will be no confusion.

Bump?

**RiderInBlack** · 15th June 2010, 12:07

Am interested in coming along, but am not interested in needing ta cover my face. Will it be that "Cold" that face cover would be advisable

? With the BIKEIO, I knew what action I was backing, & was pleased with how is was run. Am ready for more serious action, but would like to know a bit more about it before joining in, OK? The BRONZ newsletter that I got via e-mail today didn't really let me know what I need ta know before joining in. Please Text 027 4534020 or PM me with the needed advise.

So you want people to turn up to an unknown location wearing balaclavas? I guess I will avoid this one thanks BRONZ.

It kind of reads that way. I hope not. If I'm going ta protest, I don't want ta be sulking about having ta hide me face. I would want them ta know I am coming and what for. If I believe in the action, then I would be happy to be detained for minor stuff. I wouldn't be hiding my identity. BUT, and it is a big BUT, I would need ta know exactly what I was put myself up for, and what the risks are.

Sounds like a raid on Kelly Tarltons.

I am with you on this one. My face and name is fairly well known in the protest against ACC levy hikes and changes. I dont have a problem with that, I also stand for what I believe in. Cloak and dagger is not my style, more of a dark glasses and pocket knife approach for this gal. We can organise some fairly good chaos legally to make our point I would have thought.
