Do a skid bro.
Nah just shitting,
Are you talking about a message on a picket like protesters?
The whole ACC thing is a shambles but you will be a fool to think its going to go back to the way it was,
I can see their reasons for charging ACC levies, and I think as Motorcyclists we should concentrate, not on removing these said levies, but coming to a compromise where they are tolerable, for example,;
- If you put a years rego on your bike, and remain claim free for that entire year, a certain percentage should be credited towards your next rego, bringing the price of the next one down, and for that to continue untill you reach a certain point, where you are still paying a levy but only a fraction of the original amount, when you make an ACC claim that is bike related, you start from scratch.
Obviously that is saying 'we accept we are at fault' which we know isn't the case, but its just a compromise that could work
The next way and the most obvious way would be to,
- Bring motorcycle levies down, and out cage levies up, obviously there are more cages on the roads with Rego than bikes, so you share the levies out among all road users who already pay such levies in their rego, it would make the levies alot lower, and shared out by everybody
When it comes down to it, this entire ACC problem, is yet to be solved, its yet to make any headway, all we seem to do is cry about it, but nothing really seems to get done, Im not saying I can do better,
But im sure as a country wide community we could do better.

Right to Ride....

haha this ones a keeper. Damn politicians.
How about "Hands off my keys, Key"
"Fingers out of my fun, Peter Dunne"
and so on..
The instructions are simple...
I really doubt that there is anything that will unite bikers. Too many different things that are important to individuals. It is only when something is proposed that has a direct and meaningful effect on every one of us that we will stand up and fight. Trouble is, almost everything that affects us as riders is foisted on us a little bit at a time, in the guise of improving our safety. Most bikers just shrug and carry on, saying things like "About time" or "I can live with that" or "Pfft! They'll have to catch me first". In theory, the biker spirit is no different to our kin in the 60s, 70s, 80s etc BUT look at the mortality rate over the years. Yes, there are a number of reasons why it is 'low' compared to 30 years ago, but there is no denying that we are at an all-time low for biker deaths and that is in part due to 'safety initiatives' and rider attitudes.
The big issues (and the backlash) come up about 10 yearly intervals. And they've always been about ACC...shall we get prepared for 2019?
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

This thread http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...a-new-approach. actually had some potentially productive dialogue going.
(Not sure at which page it started turning to shit - but you can rest assured it probably did).

Freedom to ride? Politicians want you and your mates in a cage. Fight for your freedom now, or lose it forever.

I actually quite like the way things are gong.
Hear me out. My bike has no rego. When I ride now I get a little buzz. The same kind of buzz I used to get when I was a youngin on my L plates, taking the misses for a blat on the GB400. I was illegal.
While the cars I own are all Rego'd. The bike will stay unrego'd (unless the ACC thing changes). I have southern cross healthcare. So they can patch me up for being a rebel.
I actually think this might bring more of the "biker spirit" out in the long run. The softcocks either won't be able to afford the ACC levies, or will be scared off by B.S. marketing. Leave only us normal folk 'scum' left for the cops the chase.
Only thing I will have to watch will be those damn demerit points again. Will be a case of getting to 95. Then locking the bike up for a year and doing it all again.
So if your serious about going head to head with ACC/govt. Stop filling their coffers with biker money. Live a little and stop being soft cocks.
Exciting times ahead.

The trouble with that approach is that while it may be fun for the moment but it's certainly not going to do the future of Motorcycling any favours.I actually quite like the way things are gong.

There's a disturbing number of motorcyclists who can't see past their own little world.
Wearing Hi-Viz Black.
Message to government is the same as always "Get fucked!".
Whenever I pass Wellington's Circular Wind Tunnel I always stop in front of parliament and raise the bird in salute to the fine individuals contained within. Doesn't matter if I'm wearing a suit or in leathers.
