Nice One!......

I like how you have effectivley made points without making sweeping generalisations and getting over the top angry at every little thing, more controlled and focussed letters like these are needed to get our point across.

Good on ya!

well worded stoneY!
if theres 1 thing we need more than anything at the moment its public support, and for that non motorcyclists need to realise, let the polliticians get away with this, and their next!

Off-road would be classed under a sport since its not on the road for the stats of ACC. ATV's on the farm would be work place accidents, and also under ATV in the sports stats as well.

Wrong.

I asked my ex colleaugue who works at STATISTICs and as far as the reporting goes, any motorcycle injury is classed AS a motorcycle injury, regardless of where and when with NO breakdown

Good on ya mate.
I certainly hope the wankers from parliment listen.

saw in another thread which had a link to ACC stats on sports, invovling motorcycling, and atv that seperate.

As for the atv farm stats I assume it would/should go there as it is a workplace.

It possibly does, but when they (Stats, the reports ACC presented on TV were from STATS NZ not internal) run a search query on 'motorcycle injuries' it brings up ALL of them, offroad, farm, road (4 wheelers at that which AINT a bloody bike) all get compiled dude.
