WHAT are they going to DO with THAT money.
Have a recession and all of a sudden we've got to pay more, i think perhaps they just FUCKED their investments and WE have to COVER that shit.
I'm going to fuck myself before they pop my cherry!

This should not be news to any motorcyclist but emphasises why you should not be a member of the AA. This is what your subscription is used for - supporting this levy increase. I quit some years ago.

Oh...and I forgot - 4. If you are a member of the AA, and/or have insurance through them CANCEL IT NOW and demand a refund of any remaining membership/insurance stating the reason that they are actively anti motorcycling.
Hit the wankers in the pocket!

Mr ACC says HMMM Im gonna get these bastards bikers (BB) I need more money.

Simple, double the levies...what will this actually do though.
Firstly less (BB) will get their bikes registered, say 40-50% would look at 6 month only or not at all. What has this achieved? no more money for the my ACC bank, Oh BUGGER,..........
Well maybe less ACC payouts as less (BB) riding, not many though as most people will ride unregistered, Oh BUGGER,.......hey but it they the (BB) do that its against the law....(you just watch em eh eh).
HMMMM If the (BB) are not registered they probably wont be warranted either and which will create other safety issues.... more acc payouts.... Oh..BUGGER
Well we will just have get the police to catch the (BB) with no rego and WOF, HMMM but.........some (BB) wont stop and there may be more police chases, oh no! more police chase accidents...more ACC payouts.... (BB) won again.

HMMM maybe some of these 50cc (BB) will get off their Bastard bikes and ride pushbikes...oh BUGGER....no that wont work, too many cyclists on the Auckland waterfront their getting run over like hedge hogs at the moment.
more ACC payouts... BUGGER

Hey what if we dont pay ACC to any biker that has an accident, oh that would be mean, What about all the snow skiers and rugby players, and league players, and thousands of other sports persons that fill A&E each Saturday afternoon...yeah but they arent (BB) are they. No cant do this... to racist HMMM

Maybe if we say we are going to put it up to $750 then after all the fuss has been made we reduce it back to say $550 then it wont look that bad, and the (BB) wont revolt, and cause chaos (BB) protest rides, then we will be the good guys,yeah lets do that.

HMMM also, maybe we will have to do this now well before the next elections, cant have 200,000 (BB) voting Labour now can we..

Yeah, I'm cancelling my membership tomorrow. WTF all motorists together!?!

Here is the Automobile Association position on the matter:

http://www.aa.co.nz/about/issues/roa...motorists.aspx

Any of you who are members should voice your concerns as to, after taking your subscription money, how well they are looking after your interests as a member, make as many call outs as you can, get as many free maps as possible and then quit when your subscription next comes due. In my view you certainly should consider not insuring (anything) with AA insurance or supporting any of their financial products.

Pass it on.

Is it fair to say we should all lodge claim each in small claims court against government for lost money due excessive registration costs.

10,000 small claims appearances will show them the finger.Even if every claim is lost think of the headache for them.

I was thinking the same thing. Surely some smart lawyer type on KB could clarify.

Well I'll be fucked! I'm going in sometime to get me some maps. Someone should start a thread urging people to reconsider their AA memberships.
