[Crasherfromwayback]

Wellington Bikers, you all owe this man a very, very well deserved BEER!

Glad you didn't insult the cunt by saying we owe him a DB.

[riffer]

Link not working for me Riffer.......

Edit: DOH - found it............sigh............

Riffer isd the man of the hour.
90% of the work on this campaign since the initial meetings 9 months ago has been done by him, and the presenting in council chambers also........... so well bloody done Simon

Wellington Bikers, you all owe this man a very, very well deserved BEER!

Piss off man. No-one works alone. Team effort all the way. Thanks everybody. I do believe I shall have myself a nice cold ale once I get home tonight and toast all Wellington motorcyclists.

Candidate for Quote of the Day from The Stuff

"The motorcyclists, many decked out in full leathers, were well behaved during the meeting but were scolded by committee chairman Andy Foster for applauding at the end of Mr Gotlieb's "

[CookMySock]

[riffer]

Round 1 to the biking fraternity!

*sigh* if only it was round 1. By my reckoning it's at least round 3.

Great to meet you yesterday. Thanks for the support!

[mashman]

got the email this morning and will watch the vid... big thanks to ya'll...

[DougieNZ]

Congrats to all those involved. Well done.

I still have to question the whole RWC disruption statement/reference/implication though - especially as it turned out to be TOTALLY unnecessary? Will the big threat and no action damage future credibility? Did it just serve to feed the anti-motorcycle brigade?

... I still have to question the whole RWC disruption statement/reference/implication though - especially as it turned out to be TOTALLY unnecessary? Will the big threat and no action damage future credibility? ...

A: How do you know it wasn't necessary? Might it have been on the minds of the councillors who voted?

B: How do you describe the "no action" as damaging future credibility? Since the council didn't do the thing that was being protested about, the threat wasn't carried out ... because it wasn't needed. How does credibility come into it?

(The cops say "come out with your hands up - or we'll come in shooting". So the criminal leaves the house with his hands up and is arrested.
A: Can the criminal leaving the house claim the cops' threat had no impact? (Maybe, maybe not, but how do you know?)
B: Do future criminals see this as the cops' "threat" not being credible?)


(Disclaimer: I personally don't like threatening the RWC; just didn't understand that part of your post.)

[StoneY]

Congrats to all those involved. Well done.

Well thank you Dougie........but...did YOU show up?

If so ignore part three of my post...coz here comes a serve to all the wankers too fuckin gutless to make an effort.

I still have to question the whole RWC disruption statement/reference/implication though - especially as it turned out to be TOTALLY unnecessary?

You think so???
Think the Councilors all agreed with us?
Do you not think a possibility that word from higher up didn't filter down now such content was in the press with a 'hold off for another 12 months' behind such word?

Will the big threat and no action damage future credibility? Did it just serve to feed the anti-motorcycle brigade?

No I do not think it did. It kept it exactly where it always has been, we are the minority, we and our noisy, fast, smelly bikes are the enemy...get used to it.

And............ one more time for those who missed it, especially wankers like Katman and his ilk.

Whatever the article on Dom Post stated, I never threatened the RWC nor did BRONZ Wellington, nor did any motorcyclist.

But you all (including my own) believed the newspaper article as pure gospel.
BTW everyone thanks for asking me if that's WHAT I said, much appreciated.

At a certain point in the discussion with the writer, I was asked 'Off the record, what happens should the Council ignore your submission'

Comment: (not verbatim but essence of)
"There are a number of action we can initiate, such as parking occupation to show cagers how horrible it would be to have ONE bike in every PnD spot.
Maybe 'go slows' where 100 bikes ride slowly round Mirimar roundabout back to the Airport roundabout, in a constant convoy ......... maybe some of this would be occurring during an upcoming international event so we get some public attention'

It was OFF THE FUCKIN RECORD and I got burned...but did any single one of you ask me what I actually said to the reporter?


NO you didnt. Not fuckin one of you

Once that headline was out there, no mater what happened, it was far too late to try retract in the press because that's just never gonna fly once sensationalism took over.

So we played good biker, bad biker, and well I have to live with the fallout all because I trusted the same writer who has covered the whole gig from day one to stay off the record, a trust long established and now destroyed forever despite the fantastic reporting done yesterday.

Now............
the serve
And it's to you lazy cunts posting in this thread who never lifted a fuckin finger except to bitch, moan or tell us who DID the job what wont, will or cant work.


NONE of you c**ts with your high and mighty opinions on the RWC 'threat' have ANY fuckin idea what went down, how it occurred or how it played (eventually) into our favor.
I saw 50 bikers who actually give a shit show up and you know what?
Other than a few Kbers that are largely also members of the Wellington riders group on Facebook bothered to exercise their right to act, to democracy, and left Riffer, Me, and a handful of others to do the work

You all make me fucking sick with your bullshit 'reasonable' middle of the road 'oooo don't upset the national sport' attitudes...weak, pathetic pansies every fuckin one of you.
I wouldn't stop to piss on any one of you if you were on fire.

Happy? Coz I for one aint despite the temporary respite we gained.

[Katman]

You've made shooting your mouth off your own.

Why should this instance be any different?
