    So what are YOUR issues.

    No rants - just 1 sentence or so please - what are the motorcyclists issues you want addressed by the Govt?

    Mine are:
    Hands free phones and the road surfaces/loose seal warnings.

    I don't fully understand the ACC levies injustice thing yet - someone may like to summarise that.

    What would you like to see us/we/them pick up and run with?

    Get rid of those cheese graters.

    Use less slippery paint on the new signs painted on roads.

    1. Get rid of the 70km/hr restriction on L plates, thats just stupid and dangerous IMO.

    2. Make Bus Lanes on MW's ok for bikes, and no penalties for filtering (say no faster than 60'ks and providing the traffic is below a ceratin speed or something along those lines.

    3. Policing dangerous behaviour (tailgating etc) rather than just focus on speed.

    Just a couple or three to add to this thread.
    Some days it's not even worth chewing through the restraints.

    1) Dispose of 70kph rule
    2) lane splitting should be legal
    3) poorly sign-posted loose metal

    and probably a few more when I've had a few minutes to think about it.

    250cc restriction when cagers have none even thou they are more dangerous to others

    ACC levies. Bloody ACC need to be more holistic in their thinking.

    What is government doing to encourage two wheeled transport. Whenever you see something in the media about traffic, motorbikes are never mentioned/considered.

    Cage licenses resrtictions based on the simaler rules of motorcycle.

    Cellphone usage

    Tarsnakes/loose seal

    Motorcycle speed discretion
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Awareness campaign for public about looking for bikes, being courteous to bikes where possible, etc.
    Thinking about bikes when deciding placement of steel manholes etc mid corner. Etc.

    The rest is covered already.

    budget road repair jobs (snakes)

    Acc levies... get the cagers who injure us to pay.
    Lump lingered last in line for brains,
    And the ones she got were sort of rotten and insane...

    ACC: (1) why separate out bikes.One single vehicle pool, every vehicel pays the same
    (2) Levies based on licence holder not vehicle . If you own more than one vehicle (eg cage and bike) you pay full rego and ACC on each, even though only one used at a time.

    White paint on roads

    Motorway bus lanes - bring Transit to heel

    70kph limit and 250 cc limit (should be approved list or HP). Simpler easier intro for young folk. Make it easier to start on two wheels instead of 4.

    Police to police for driving behaviour instead of revenue gathering

    Lane splitting. Follow the UK rules.

    And what Mr Motu siad. Seriously. Too much money spent on making roads "easy" for brain dead idiots to drive on. Concentrate money on selected highways (for said idiots), don't spend money on back roads 9so they stay fun, for us)

    That'll do to start with.

    (Oh, and nationalisation of the means of production, finance, and distribution, with legislative control vested in workers' soviets. But that can wait till the mext meeting)

    I hope I may get to the next BRONZ meeting. May be interesting.
