wont it end up cheaper to be caught riding an unregistered bike and pay the fine than paying for the rego each year.

Gather your motorcycling buddies and ride down in your own time...bring food or money for food. If you're already in Wellington you have no excuse!

To make any sort of difference we need media coverage and we need them to know what we are actually protesting about.

For people in Auckland who can't afford to get down to Wellington etc, they should camp out the local MPs offices and the ACC buildings.

Motorcycle rider: 48/1314 = 3.7%
Motorcycle pillion: 2/82 = 2.4%

Next will be ACC trying to work out how to tax car passengers.

I've motorcycled on and off for 16 years. Never received a medical/hospital treatment as a result of biking.

I've played Rugby the last 18 years and been to hospital at least 6 times.

I played Indoor soccer for 2 years and went to hospital 3 times.

I've got 1 child and he had problems at birth. I went to the hospital over 40 times (Visited him every day for six weeks).

I can't work it out! Motorcyclists are very unfortunate.

This is such bull shit. IS it going to keep going up every year like it always does too? The govt should be encouraging bikers to free up parking and traffic instead of discriminating against them as per usual. Besides the majority crashes are not the bikers fault but some prick in a cage that takes it for granted that they own the road. The one at fault for an accident should be the one to pay any ACC costs required. I mean seriously, yea bike accidents are pretty up there in stats but much as we dont want to admit it if you do crash on a bike you are much more likely to cark it then if you were in a car. So in this case who needs ACC anyhow when your six feet under?
