Official political party policy on sports bikes

[Bartman10]

I wrote this to 7 political parties today... Check out the responses. Politics is amazing!

Dear political party leaders

In light of the upcomming election, could you please state your
offical party policy on the use of high powered sports motorcycles?

1./ Are you going to increase speed limits for high powered sports motorcycles?

2./ Are you going to make any roads 'motorcycle only'?

3./ Are you going to reduce registration charges for on high powered
motorcycles?

4./ Will you make it legal to pull wheelstands and other motorcycle
stunts on public roads?

5./ Will you reduce fuel taxes for sports motorcycles?

There are potentially several thousand votes at stake here. I look
forward to your response.

GREEN:

1. No
2. No
3. No
4. No
5. No

Progressives


The Progressive Party does not have policy positions on the matters you
raise, and is unlikely to develop policies specifically in this area.

The Progressives, unlike the way some other parties appear to operate, do
not set their policies solely on the basis of how many people they think
might vote for them if they take a particular line or position (although
they hope that their policies will be attractive enough for significant
numbers of people to do so). The policies are developed on the basis of
what the Progressives feel with be best for New Zealand and its citizens,
and in particular in the interests of maintaining and asserting that New
Zealand is a fair go society in which no-one if excluded or left behind.

Yours sincerely

Is United future serious? Parliamentary research team? For wheelstands on public roads... Ha Ha.. At least the greens are honest!

I'll add more if I get any more replies from any other parties.

[Riff Raff]

Well done there. Did you send one to Destiny? I'd be interested to see what Brian Tamaki comes up with. It should be an issue close to his heart - perhaps we should bribe him with a sportsbike and see what his reaction is!

[SuperDave]

Labour's is fucken classic. So is your issue one to respond to? I take it not. But then again, your questions arn't very serious or sensible and won't bring us motorcyclists any more favour, Nor do I think they will ensure that any political party gives more of a shit about us than they do at present.

Lol, very good

For "A representative of Don Brash". Without asking if I wanted to talk to him, he started with the political bullshit. I stopped him after about thirty seconds and asked him "whats 20 inches long and hangs from a c%#t"? The bloke paused and said "err, I have no idea". I quickly replied "Don Brash's tie"! and hung up quick. Hope he forwards that on to Don.

[Zapf]

How about NZ First? didn't he enter the stage on the back of a cruiser?

LMAO... now that was good!

Pushing your own agenda a bit aren't you, bartman10? High powered sports bikes, wheelies on public roads, preferential treatment for high powered "sprots bikes"? What about the rest of the biker community?

Interesting that the Greens obviously read it and replied while the others just sent an automated message of the "we are looking into it" variety. Shows exactly how much notice the political parties take of their constituents. They're too busy telling us they care about what we want to actually listen to what we want.

I'd almost vote for Green but I think there are too many flakes in it (LiasTZ will be surprised - I'm a "hippy" in his opinion).

It would be interesting to see the parties' responses to questions about cheese-cutter barriers, reducing the number of cars on the roads, amendments to the motorcycle restrictions on Learner and Restricted licences, promoting motorcycles as an alternative to "one person per car", additional free motorcycle parking in towns etc.

[DemonWolf]

I agree with Wolf.. would be interesting to see what 'our' political parties policies (if any) are concerning motorcycles, or do they all just view truck \ car owners as the only road users. Cheap and effective measures dont 'cut' it... Effective measures should the be the standard for all road users. bah, I'm just sick of all the freaking patch-work roadworks going on.. its just plain stupid IMHO

[Wolf]

Cheap and effective measures dont 'cut' it...

Sadly, one of their cheap measures does 'cut' things - like any poor sap of a biker that hits the barrier.

[ManDownUnder]

sick sick sick...

The Bish isn't after material goods - he's said so a thousand time - you only have to look at the man to see where his real interests lie..

(LiasTZ will be surprised - I'm a "hippy" in his opinion).

Then again I thiink everyone who's left of centre are hippies
