Wow! I'm glad I read through to the end of the new posts. I was going to respond to theseekerfinds excellent post to tell him that along with all the dreamer, schemer, planner, spanner and talk up a storm type people that he described... there is another kind of people (much, much rarer than the other types), and that is........... 'The quiet achiever type person'. The type of person that would rather just get on with the job than debate it to death while working up the courage & support believed to be needed.


I love it. This will be the best $5 I have invested in a loooong time.

Hats off to you

Which is fine if you don't need support, otherwise...

also, maybe they only appear rare as they don't make a lot of noise

The thing is I haven't done any of those things. There are plenty of other groups that also do those things and pay no extra levies or charges at all.

For once I totally agree with the entire content of your post

+1 Some of those in other activities costing ACC more money than motorcyclists aren't paying any levies.

Yep. I get quietly ignored as if I never spoke when I raise this issue at certain meetings.

I am so not surprised. But this is why the bikers need to clean up their act type statements get jumped on on KB. We know cleaning up our act is part of the solution but if we are going to pay the levies then we also want all that can be done to make the environment we are operating in saver, well at least those of us operating reasonably sanely on public roads (no one is always totally sane).
You just keep on raising the point :Wink:

The reality is....achieving that will be akin to getting every smoker in NZ to quit. One mans persistant banter on this very subject has produced absolutely squat over the last how many years?

Actually, the reality is that neither you nor I have any way of quantifying what my efforts may have produced over the years.

Either I misunderstood what StoneY was saying or Maha and Katman have misunderstood the conversation with StoneY I was replying to. Guess it will depend on if you believe Katman can ever be wrong.

Yeah bro its our fault though we went off topic

Its quite probable Steve that, there are approx 90,000 motorcyclist that have no idea who you are or what you have to say so that has to a quatifiable amount?
Approx 3-4,000 active users on here, a percentage of them (those who voted for you on your recent poll) is a very small amount by comparison surely you would agree?...another quantifiable amount.
You are just not reaching the greater target on this forum.
