It doesn't cost THAT much and united we can make valid representation to govt on vital aspect of motorcycling.
I haven't been to a BRONZ meeting for yonks but still support them, pay my sub

and recommend others do the same.

BRONZ is a pretty inconspicuous organisation. The column contributed to Kiwirider or BRM (can never remember which) is a pretty limp effort generally and certainly does nothing to inspire me to join.

it seems to me that the older generation are taking to their bikes in numbers however if you havent riden for a number of years and licences have lapsed what a hassle to get a full licence.i hold licences for car, truck & trailer ,self laying tracks,heavy wheels &rollers,and used to ride bikes.first i got to ride a bike with 250cc or less,i havent got one and dont want to ride a 250.next you got to attend a motorcycle handling course.the funny thing was that all the guys i did the course with owned and rode bikes of an average of 750cc and higher and were only doing the course because the fines for riding without a license were getting expensive.we all loaned a 50cc bike from the local bike shop what a laugh watching seasoned riders on the little 50

so we now put our L plates onto our triumph bonny 750 and were all legal.yer right still have to pay more for licencing and avoid the law for another 12 months. what bullshit.
