There goes the rent money

A Bikoi!

Now, now, must remember ettiquitte.
we need to take three months off work, get a benefit for that period and take the whole period to get there.
Wahoo Three month riding holiday sposored by the Govt, we could probably get every biker in the country involved in that.

One of us will also need to get shorn for Charity/Publicity or aunty Helen won't even see us, just send out her most junior mp's that come from our demographic while she partakes of some Farm animal love.

Under better circumstances I might have enjoyed the spanking too

Which part was not to your liking?
The uniform or that it was at a roadside?

I have had a couple of big fines too.

What can I say, Dude, my comiserations.

My brother paid his $500 fine in coins, the biggest coin being a 50 cent peice. took 1/2 hour to count it. Apparently they have to re-count it all at the end of the day too!

Car sales man pissed me off once so I paid him the last $50 in 5c peices. I took them out of their bags and put them in a bigger bag and took 1 out.
He pig headedly counted it three times. Just as he tipped it out over his desk a fourth time I said here have another and tossed him the remaining coin. :

Write a nice letter with a copy of your newly purchased rego and explain the situation, if your driving/criminal record is good, and you aint young you could get out of it.( Spud?? )

Yes it is. Don't like it? Change the law... not so easy - but not impossible.

I wrote a submission on the last ACC levy increase - the options were to load up motorcycle levies alone, or an accross the board increase onto fuel prices, thus costing everyone on the road....I chose the latter naturally.

Been on two protest rides tp parliament now. First one had more effect back in 91-92? A minister that rode a bike at Uni got behind and supported our cause. I recall the LTSA wanted to increase rego's to about $1500 per year.

This has become almost an Urban Legend. My sister in-law works at the parking warden office for ChCh city council, so I asked her about that. She said they only have to accept $5 in silver and not a cent more. She wasn't sure about $1 & $2 coins but most people who try that do it in 5 and 10 cent pieces. They actually have the cut out from the legislation to show people when they try it on. I just spoke to her and the last guy who tried it had $200 in 5 cent pieces.

If other councils/agencies take more than the $5 then they either don't care or don't know about it.

Not sure how a private company would deal with this but I imagine the big ones (phone/power/insurance) would of put limits in place already.

Haha that sucks bout gettin caught o well now you no wut cars to look out for. i got a $80 fine to pay and it is my fault i jus hate how its for only 115km i could have done alot better.

Yeah I saw you. I was the 972nd bike from the front, red Harley if that helps. What a turn out!! I wrote letters to the Editor and Police the next day about the total absence of the usual crowd control that every other 2 bit protest gets. Remember a rider got hurt when a car tried to force its way across the bike flow. We won.

Or if you are in a hurry/ have a sore a$$, take some faster means of transport.... hang on there probably isnt one... Seriously though.... the bikoi isnt a bad idea and would be very topical after the hikoi....

We need a celebrity voice, anyone run into John Banks or Tawera Nikau lately? I'm sure either would love an excuse to head down to wellies on a bike ride.
