    Life would be so much easier if you addressed questions with a simple answer.

    I gave up on ACC when I went to the Doctor with a work related back injury about 3 years ago they said it was degenerative. Struggled on for another year with Physio ( that was a waste of time) then shut up shop and got a desk job. Daily life and bike riding became a pain...literally.
    For the last year I have been going to a chiropractor ( I thought they were quacks) but this guy explains it with photos, xrays and does comparitive readings as well as adjustments.
    Back is not 100% but I ride a bike with clipons and even the odd thrash around the track on the bucket.
    I bet that is where ACC got their savings...saying its degenerative....when its not.
    As for the price to rego a bike, It's not an election issue as far as I'm concerned.

    You would think that eleven years would have been enough to get organised.

    The politics of biking is quite disgusting and resemble a disorganised bunch of kindergarten children at times.
    After the bikoi the "momentum" was lost and real politicians went on with their agenda.

    Individuals are still able to protest by placing their bike registration on hold.
    If some other bikers do not like this action, then fuck 'em!

    I hope some have a good email written for John campbell tonight
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    This all happened while I was away for a year on my OE, so I dont really know who did what or didnt. But what I do know is ......

    1. It is a little sad to see so much passion and so many numbers but no focus, co ordintaion or action.
    2. It is up to everyone who rides on two wheels and doesn't like the current system to stand up and do something about it
    3. Whining like a lil girl on the interweb doesn't win wars
    4. No matter how much you lick the baked bean sauce on your hoody, it is there to stay untill it go's through the washing machine. No matter how quick you lick after the bean has made contact with said hoody.

    wonder why the government is being nice all of a sudden, and not just about ACC....either , they are pushing through some unsavoury bills or an election is being planned ...

    they dont give away money unless there are strings attached ...

    About half way down there is a scribble about possible motor vehicle levy reductions. Somehow I am not holding my breath tho.
