Yeah I worded that wrong. I meant there's no difference between 599cc and 600cc.

New KB Record last night with 321 users on line at once!! Wonder if this is a new record with 79 people viewing the thread.

Anyone any ideas how I tell my wife I'm selling her bike and does anyone want to buy one now???

Like I said I hate the no fault system... because us as bikers pay for other peoples fuckups... oh I didn't see you...

How much ACC did those push bikers pay to be on the road when the were taken out by the car for not giving way... if the no fault system is going to stay then they need to pay as well if they are to be on the road...

The answer is for hundreds of bikes to block rush hour traffic EVERY day until this madness is reversed. Why should bikers pay for foreign tourists who don't bother with insurance, thugby players who injure themselves for life and worst of all bludgers who can't be arsed to come off ACC and get back to work...

Lucky me, I got a 600... A if my bike is any safer than a 650...

Good point.

Surely though if we have private medical insurance then we shouldnt have to pay extra ACC...

Stop falling off on corners you noobs.

I must be broken - I don't feel anything much about it at all. Perhaps a tad annoyed. Not really enough emotion to goad me into action.

Maybe (perhaps) [however] {although} we're looking at it all wrong? We're costing us HEAPS for bike crash injuries, and someone has to pay for it. Aren't WE someone? And aren't WE the someones involved? Shouldn't we pay for ourselves?

Or get out and protest?

When was the last BRONZ Protest ride... 1993

BRONZ has lost its will to do anything...

You are right, I got it wrong (which is unlike me

) well, back to the drawing board.

f'king insane, 2 X 900cc plus bikes = $1400 a year + insurance + all the other f'king costs. Well thats what you get from a nanny state.

lets protest !!!

if they dont reconsider, i'm selling the bikes, getting a fooken large sticker made saying "EX Biker", stiking it on the back of my car and driving a slow as to work every day holding up the traffic. if only half of the biker on SH2 in wellington do that everyday, we shoudl be able to hold up a few of these morons and make them late for work by a few hours !!!.
