If the road to hell is paved with good intentions; and a man is judged by his deeds and his actions, why say it's the thought that counts? -GrayWolf
old white men, complaining to old white men, about old white men.
Vote up, crackers.
So is this for reak or not. I did the last big one and yes it achieved 1/10th of nothing. But I'd felt better for trying and failing than doing nothing and still moaning about the situation.
Hard pressed with work meetings this morning to make it though. Might have to speed to get there.
Happiness is a means of travel, not a destination
According to the facebook event, there are 109 people attending.

Now don't take me the wrong way, I am all for protest. Not necessarily peaceful either but organising something of a magnitude that will be noticed was always going to take more time, effort and solidarity than this attempt. There has been plenty of advice and offers of assistance to make that happen, which from my point of view was all summarily dismissed.
And hey, if I was able to ride right now I'd be there too but with very little hope of achieving anything. If nothing else it's a fecking lovely day for a ride, if you can get down there, I certainly can't think of a reason not to.

I've spent my money on bikes, booze and babes. The rest I've wasted....
In round figures there are 100,00 registered bikes in NZ and 109 attending? that's pretty limp.
What is needed (bikers have no persuasion as a group, that's a given and it's been proven...) is a protest involving an 'All Road Users Collective' for maximum exposure and disruption ability. Totally fuck things up in the Capital for the best part of a day and ensure the Pollies that you WILL be back, and back, and back, and back some more. The one time should be suffice if there were 20,000+ bikes/cycles/scooters/trucks/car clubs etc.
Far to late to have any effect now, should have been done during the last week of sitting prior to Election day, once again, for maximum exposure.

Looks like it went off!
They were doing pretty well as far as news coverage and then some nut job goes loose with a shotgun and gone... Which is fair as its a big story and a bloody sad horrible one
Saw the 3 news Article.
Small group of 150 still made the news good effort!
Its a pity we didn't have more protests everywhere in these Election campaign times.
Also a bloody pity we cant stick together enough to really make it work.
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '
