Who exactly are we going to be disrupting on a Thursday night?

A reasonable sized group riding @ a low speed will cause some disruption to the flow on the motorway

VTR250... with a shredded L plate lol... but it was a nice bike for me to ride, I felt really comfy on it... ignored the speed limit, and rode in my own zone... no pressure. First time on it.. and I really enjoyed the gears, and feel of it.

My 2¢ (and I ain't knocking the slow ride idea) but I think right now, after the media have flooded the public with positive footage of lots & lots of bikes, we simply need to maintain visibility (no pun intended). So even if we did a blat on the motorway this Thursday night at regular speed, any group of a few or more bikes is going to be noticed (especially if there's a few protest messages in view) and will maintain in the public's mind that bikers are not happy with Nick Smith, John Key, National, ACT, ACC etc etc etc.

Have to make sure you are squeaky clean if you take up that idea.
Ginga has taken to parking outside the pub and doing random licence, rego, breath testing of bike riders.

His obsession continues.

**idleidolidyll** · 18th November 2009, 05:35

So how about a meeting at the ATNR to discuss what we are gonna do?

**idleidolidyll** · 18th November 2009, 05:54

I've posted a message on the ATNR thread (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...postcount=6963) suggesting we might head their way to discuss what the next step is for protest action:

Motorcycle Disruption!

Who is keen?
We don't have to ride, I'm happy to drive and take passengers. I'd like to show a few banner ideas etc
