Three Strikes Protest Run, 5 May

[Oblivion]

My household has 4 bikes and one car, I agree cant use all at once but...if 9,500 attending Parliament couldnt get them to back off, what will?

Our family pays for 4 cars, and my bike. I don't want to imagine what the cost would be if we payed it all at once.

I'd rather see you do it on a real beehive........naked.

I wonder if my insurance company might give me a better rate on two bikes and a car if I said I would only use one at a time....

Meet @ 12:15 for a 12:30 departure 5th May Auckland Viaduct Carpark, (behind the big boat). Ride to ACC Office (Sale st) then to the local National Party electorate office (College Hill), they are close enough that this can be done in a longish lunchtime.

Details for welli being finalised and should be up within a few days.

Mine does mate
I have one single policy, covers all 3 of my bikes
They wouldnt do one that covered the car and partners bike tho, all 3 vehicles needed be the same type, and same singular owner to pull it off

We are with Star, both bikes are in different names but both are on the same policy. good for the track to.

Kiwibike for me underwritten by Star
93.00 per month to cover the Ducati St4, KTM Super Duke, and GSXR1100 with roadside rescue and full gear replacement

KTM middle of a claim now, has been very painless to deal with them at both Kiwibike and Star, new rim somewhere between Austria and NZ at this point

About the same here, mine is a little higher due to a wee ticket. we changed after my last off, state was good with the bike but only second hand value for gear (fuckers).

I would have thought if it is under written by star you would think that you could get them all on one policy like ours.

Nope they wont add the car and Kelly's 250 to my policy. But I am happy, 3 bikes on one policy is enough of a saving.........
Was 84.00 pm for the cheapest policy I had with 3 seperate ones, so 93 for all 3 bikes is a huge boon

I agree in principle to the demerit points component to this but the rest of it is crap. If they are going to continue with the risk based model then it has to be a better on than they currently have. Below is an email which has been sent to all major news agencies in this country (not that I expect that any of them will run with it, they dont have the balls) which points toward some of the growing frustration I hear on a daily basis.

I would be happy to organise a protest run in Invercargill, but my bike is on hold (and not being used) and i just got made redundant so not really of a mind to collect a fine right now. Still happy to organise it though, just not with my bike.

"Dear Sir

Perhaps you could consider a story on the ongoing and increasing rort of motor vehicle owners in this country. I draw the distinction between motorists and motor vehicle owners because there are many motorists who dont own a motor vehicle, and therefore dont pay Rego or ACC levies. Apparently non owners are not a risk and dont need to be levied. In my household there are three motorists, but only one motor vehicle owner. I have a car, a 4wd and two motorcycles (one being restored) and i pay registration and ACC on all three of them. I can only drive one at a time so why the hell am I penalised for having more than one. My wife and daughter both drive my vehicles yet dont pay any ACC levies for the risk they represent while driving. I ask, Is that fair??

Should the ACC levy not be attached to the driver licence class. A class 1 licence should have the lowest fee due to the lowest risk, and, according to ACC's flawed logic, a class 6 licence should have the highest fee due to the higher risk. This would ensure that ALL motorists pay the approriate levy associated with their risk and the motor vehicle owner would be alleviated of the excessive and unfair burdon of double, tripple and sometimes mutiple dipping from ACC. This would likely increase ACC revenue as more people would be levied.

This has to be sorted out once and for all with a fair and equitable system introduced before the New Zealand vehicle owning public start wide spread civil disobedience and tell NZTA and ACC to get stuffed.

have we got a petition going, I haven't met a single person riders and drivers alike who agree with the hikes, recon we should be turning up with names of supporters aswell
