    Which would be fine, if having them arbitrarily charge some of their clients two or three times as much based on their completely irrelevant bike ownership in order for them to make budget was more important to their clients than equitable contributions.

    I suspect that for most it's not.

    Thats my point.....now onto yours

    If i was bothered about what you or anybody else thinks about me then your comments are fair.

    But Im not so I shall carry on......if you dont like it use the numerous privacy functions available to you, thats the freedom of the interweb net thing rather than bang on at me when quite frankly I couldnt give a rats arse.

    Or do you need a hug as well?

    xoxoxox
    Me bangin' on. I simply answered your question. I actually agree with your main point about the action part or lack thereof but ho hum. Go choke on a pie im off for a caramel latte!

    Sounds like you want them to come to you - doesn't work like that mate! Try hunting for a woman in the same fashion; it simply won't happen! You got to fight for every freaking inch! And At the end of the day this is a forum, lets be honest - probably not the place you want to go to for a balanced argument! A very varied one certainly, but there are better methods to obtain reliable data (and I agree, Facebook is not one of them). Having said all of this however, they probably play the silent-worm and from time to time, check out some of the things going on here.

    If they solely wanted the feedback from a forum arguably their entire website could consist of a single pinned thread.


    On an unrelated note, someone close to me in the health profession had this to say (concerning injuries):

    "You would not believe the number of ACC claims from motorbike crashes and the substantial long term treatment these people need. It would blow your mind!!!
    For example: hospital fees for;

    Concussion
    Traumatic brain injury
    Spinal fractures
    Leg fractures
    Lung collapse/ puncture
    Multi organ damage
    ACC payment for lost wages..."

    They (MAG) more than likely still hold to the directive that their members should do the work by expressing their concerns via email to TPTB. Being part of the organisation (I use that word loosely) in the past, the frustration levels quickly grew with the lack of protest action, which is primarily the reason it lasted about a year before folded. Some core members got fed up with the lame 'Ride to point A and park up for an hour' carry on. Once a major protest idea was put forward and all of a sudden, it got real.....that's when the committee divided, and subsequently some left as a result.

    They will have members that are on here, they always did..MAG also has a KB login though clearly it has not been used for some time. http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/me...760-MAG-NZ-Inc

    only because they were trying to keep up, now if it wasn't a group ride and as long as they were all taking their cat food seriously then they may make it to the destination without crashing and if they do then it wouldn't be their fault so it would be ok, but only as long as it is not a group ride

    yup sounds like any number of sports or activities that people do which most do not pay an acc levy directly associated with.

    that being said, i wonder how people would react if we had no ACC and had to pay for insurance to cover, i dare say it would be costing us a whole lot more

    Anyhoo don't forget to add to calendar 19th May, 27th July, and 31 August.

    Do you think it is only vehicles that have to pay ACC.

    Most sport clubs levies include an ACC fee ...

    My apologies,I never knew that.-But shirley you don't pay road type ACC levies for your farm bike,and don't get me started on the cost of rugby accidents-and-the number of them annually.
