Christchurch bikers

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

If I were 20 years younger and had better boobs I'd be happy to stage a naked protest ride.

I'd still watch and take notice now. mmmm boobies

[Papa Bear]

last thing we want to do is piss off everybody in cages. fuck most of them hate bikes already........ nice quite sunday morning, in Akld,Wgtn,Chch and Dundn, as many bikes meet up in there respective citys, to a legal ride for a couple of hours, but instead of sticking to city centers, go for a ride passed all the MP's house's then just have a ride around the smaller streets where Joe Public is just going about there own lives. Ride in a staggered, fucking huge group...... just so people can see we just ride for fun. Keep it all legal, have a good ride with lots of bikers and just been seen by as many people as possiable.... hell, could even let TV stations know this is happening around the NZ at the same time.

Just a thought

where am i going to put my part in?

Yup I wont participate if the idea is to annoy other road users, we need there support as well.

How bout we take our bikes to the gift horse? Organise a ride to Nelson and protest outside Nick Smiths office along side our nelson counterparts?

Damn straight, alienating other road users would play right into the government's hands. Look at how the boyracers got hung out to dry because they'd alienated Joe Public. Incidentally, has anyone floated the idea of a noticeable group ride from ChCh to any protest in Wellington?

How is pissing off car drivers going to encourage support?

We need to get away from holding up traffic, that is not going to achieve anything we will aim for a saturday morning meet just outside of town maybe at robbie's on main north road and then ride into the square and do a peaceful protest and for god sakes we will not let it get out of control and i think the tv stations might get to hear about it (if you know what i mean). Any more ideas lets hear them.

Congestion of the city streets worked for Truckies when there was a feared increase of road user charges and no-one got totally upset about that as everyone knew what they were doing it for. And it wasn't just the city congestion it was their convoys in & out of town before & after that cause just as much trouble.
The maori and their march across Auckland harbour bridge caused major disruption and no-one threw their toys out of the cot about that

Passive protest isn't effective in getting a point across (ask the jews & buddists)

Do you have any suggestions then if so lets hear them

Though at the moment the missus & I have more important things to worry about: popping nearly $500k for a house and land takes precedent over worrying about rego fees even though between us we've got 4 bikes to consider.
If somethings cemented into place we'll be there

pre election time I remember saying in a thread that the Nats will eventually ream the majority of us......looks like it's starting to happen

I'm all for an organised ride to Nick the Prick's

[Mikkel]

Lets do it, we need to organise a day that we can do it, it also has to be legal the last thing we want to portray is a bunch of idiot bikers, i will get in contact with some of the motorbike shops around town, the more bikes we have the better it will look, soladarity and unity, i think protesting outside the ACC office and then around to the city councill offices, not sure about holding up traffic but we will see. If you are in let me know, keep bringing on the suggestions then we will have a game plan. I will keep everyone posted, my number is 0275918523

I believe the Chch ACC offices are situated here: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=-...343.79,,0,0.26

And for what it is worth, I agree, pissing off everybody else isn't going to resolve the issue. But blocking ACC on a saturday might not have a significant effect.

Passive? As in opposed to armed riots... I have to disagree. It worked quite well for Gandhi.
First thing is to make sure everyone knows that motorcyclists are pissed off with the proposed increases. If that fact is ignored, then we can look at making a nuisance of ourselves.

That'd be a good one I reckon,target the figurehead who is also not that popular for one or two other things......

We just have to make sure he's home at the time.

Yes that's the place to start. A well organised night ride and park in all the availble parking metres for the day would get the point across. And it's all lawfull too. Just might cost to keep topping up the metres but then if ya stayed with ya bikes ya just need to top them up when the parking warden comes along. But ya going to need to find out how many parking metres the town has and one bike for each metre. Should be an interesting result one way or the other if it is pulled off.
