So it's settled then, a Labour weekend protest starts 6 am in the norf shore and blocks the bridge friday morning, then moves south to meet 6 am teusday morning On the kapiti coast for a very very slow ride into parliment (Hell some 200-400 odd bikes may get gridlocked at the Hutt coast interchange on the way in and not move for several hours) !!! Seem to recall they dont like bikes parked on the grass at parliment neither, so be carefull you park in the correct manner !!
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !
engine capacity is an easy, but retarded way of doing this I concur.
why should a CBR600RR with 125 hp cost more to register than your 75hp SV?
What they are doing is this (because by definition politicians are lying manipulative scumbags):
They've decided that the costs will double. They tell everyone they are going to treble. Pandemonium ensues. They agree to merely double the cost and everyone goes "its a triumph* for democracy"
Does anyone know enough to question this statistic-oid about a $70 "subsidy"
or indeed the underpinning statisticoids underpinning the justification for this?
Also, if I have more than one bike, I will be swapping the plate over. I can only ride one at a time and Ive got to get my moneys worth.
Oh, and it makes a trackday look bloody cheap, huh?
*as opposed to a Norton of democracy, or a Honda of democracy etc.
Remember kids: how do you know a politician is lying? Their lips are moving.

I am up for a protest rides too, auck or welly either or both or any place inbetween
Im up for whatever sensible protest is on
I have spare time right now to help organise
will be going to bronz meeting next week
If this happens I dont think I will pay rego or insurance and will spend more of my time overseas
time ACC stopped being part of the welfare system

Knowledge is realizing that the street is one-way, wisdom is looking both directions anyway
Make sure if anything is organised to post it up on a separate thread so it gets noticed. I think numbers is the key here. I wanna be part of something and am keen to help organise anything in the Waikato area. But I wanna do it in conjunction with other areas.
I think doing something at the same time all over the country would get things noticed. Or everyone converging on Wellington.
Time to band together. Shit that sounds gay!
I'm sure the 30-odd riders that I ride with will be keen for action.
Let us know what everyone plans.
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '
What's also stupid is how they are grouping the bikes to charge rego.
A GSXR600 would pay the $500 levy and a SV650 would pay $750.
How does that make any sense?
Lets do it block the fucking bridge for 3 hours on a monday morning, both ways too and a second block on upper highway so no way through.
Just emailed my thoughts to ACC
consultation@acc.co.nz
The thing that gets me is that ACC has enough in reserve for at least three years business operations. This is the biggest amount of reserves that they have had for some time. Some commentators are arguing that ACC is NOT BROKEN - so why is the govt trying to fix it?? Ah, politics...
But on the other hand - and thats the hand on my wallet - having just bought a litre bike and keeping the commuter wheels, a major increase like this will mean that I will probably just run one rego across two bikes...
And I'm keen on participating in any protest...
