try the Greens. Dave Clendon is a passionate all year biker and has told me that the Greens are keen to see ACC returned to the Woodhouse principles and agrees that motorcycle safety is better achieved through training and developing all road users than imposing more rules.
Or Labour - Phil Goff is a biker and is pretty against privatising ACC. Also Labour support rail, and rail is good for motorcycling because the more freight that goes by train the less trucks we have chewing up our precious oil, fucking up the roads and clogging the windies.
The two parties you can almost guarantee will be anti bikes are National and Act. I think they probably see us as high booze consumption, low hygiene, low income and low value idiots - why ride a bike when you can drive a nice shiny BMW? Motorcycling is a fringe, high risk and slightly rebellious activity; all characteristics that are pretty much contrary to anything the Tories stand for.
Don't blame me, I voted Green.
