BRONZ BIKEOI ! Man up or bend over and spread them

[peasea]

We need to do something. even if we dont plan anything every biker that sees nick smith will be quick to serve the middle finger with the 2 words to match

Not very constructive and just the kind of bad publicity we don't need. I think this time we need to pull our heads in when it comes to abuse and middle fingers. I sympathise though.

Is there a date for a run to Welly yet????

[Swoop]

Forgot.

There has to be a specific bikeoi to Nick Smith's electorate office. Make him totally aware that we are thinking of him...

I heard a rumour one was being arranged but as yet no Nelsonians I know have got any details. Anyone got info???

PM me if you have and I'll get texting.

Going to his house would be better wouldn't it?

once in Wellington, the Mormon Few could ride their bikes up the stairs and into parliament building, kind of what that farmer did a few years back over the 'fart tax' I think it was...

Ixion, are these our only two choices? I'm not intending to 'man up' (eeewww!) and I save the other option for special occasions - definitely not involving Nick Smith!

I have another option I have a friend of a friend who is a news reporter for 20/20 NZ who would be willing to be interviewed for this???? male and females. Females kinda just turn peoples conceptions of what being a biker is, on their head.

Your bikehoi is a great idea, but we also have to show people what will happen if all bike & Scooter riders were to abandon their vehicles and return to tin tops. How about we have a motorcycle free day - where we all go one car per driver. All over the country will be chaos. Mummies can take their precious darlings to school. There will be no parking spaces for the workers - they will have to walk twice as far. Traffic jams will reign sopreme. Road rage will increase with the traffic congestion. Car related accidents (ergo ACC Claims) will skyrocket - JUSTICE FOR ALL

I'm in!
I'll even volunteer to speak if nobody better qualified puts their hand up....

I agree: mass protests mainly in Wellington but if possible in all major cities in NZ. I'm in for Welly and any other in the extended area (lower half of north island).

At the end of the day the only thing they care about is public opinion. If they see if enough of us showing them the finger, they will start thinking about the future elections and be more carefull when decidin what's what. And on top of that the only way of getting public attention and really involving the media is by public meetings: as many as possible, as big as possible and as loud as possible.

Even if they are 100% legal demonstrations - if we get enough numbers to grind the traffic in the CBD to a halt and then do it again in Auck a couple of days later, and so on... the media will take notice.

I'm in and if anyone needs a place to stay (Paremata -25k north of Wellington SH1) - plenty of room for bike in garage as well. Name the day!

The date for the BIKEOI should be when parliament is in session and Nick Smith is present. It should also be well before submissions close so that those at the BIKEOI can exchange ideas on what to include in their submissions. Parliament is in session
October 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28 and 29
November 17, 18, 19, 24, 25 and 26

I would suggest the last week of October with the 28th as being the best date.

Excellent idea. Has to be done!
