No joke! We might just start off a huge wave of civil disobedience.

The reality is, there will be FAR more people than 2-300 ALREADY with their rego on hold - we just have to get them together (anonymously) in a group and say so loudly and publicly.

I'm in. This using rego as a sly tax and then enforcing it like it is some sort of safety issue sucks big time.

Greypower?

Except they appear to be firmly in the Ministers pocket.

Also it's around now that those of us who bought a years worth at the old rates, are being hit with the new rates. However those who want to park everywhere and don't want thousands of dollars worth of parking tickets are better of financially by just paying their BS fees. Also I can see them targeting protest action for rego checks too

I agree with this and I'm in. Where are the others with rego on hold and where do we meet then?

If we do this, we have to be very careful not to inadvertantly create a database that is useable by the fuzz. Has someone already done a anonymous poll? We can just reuse that.

edit: KB admin - are "anonymous" polls really anonymous? We don't want you in a position where you might be subject to some court order to release information.

There are going to be fines. I'm going to tell them to stick them up their arse as well.

Fuck them. I've had enough.

Not all supporters will have regos on hold. I don't have a rego on hold but see the unfairness of this especially for bikers. pulling me over will waste their time, sadly mine too

Thinking it would be quite symbolic if every atendee on the protest ride removed their numberplate for the ride....but logic says the insurance risks and compliance issues may make that unwise.....

Thoughts?
Also, would this be a case of getting all we can to Welly and run on the Beehive again, or local rides within your own region all coordinated for the same day?
After all Stephen Joyce sits at the Beehive......... its him we wanna send the message to

If there are good numbers I'd be willing to remove my plate. Who is going to stop a stampede of 300 bikes without plates? Just ride on as one.

I do worry about the consequenses of anyone who might have an incident mid pack though, imagine a 30k bike not getting its insurance covered coz no plate was displayed at the time.......

Otherwise I am all for riding my own bike plateless in protest

Might be time to open a new thread to arrang a protest on this issue

That's true. People with 30k bikes probably don't worry about the price of rego anyway. There are always going to be risks when standing up for something like this.

Removing the plate is a symbolic thing guaranteed to raise eyebrows, but in the end its just a one-off stunt that doesn't really affect anyone.

Getting a thousand people together who refuse to pay their rego, and incite others to do the same is really gunna rip their ration card (a cool M$1 down the toilet.) Which I like.

How about some powergel delivered by home made UAV?

don't under-estimate the removal of the license plate, one of its big effects will make video policing of the rally harder. Tickets in the mail based on video proof your unrego'd bike was ridden at the rally will be very difficult.
