BIKEOI. What days work?

[Hopeful Bastard]

I'm as keen as everyone else for any day, so long as it is confirmed and we have enough notice to get tim eoff work. I think what really needs to happen is ONE person takes the bull by the horns and just says "this is when it is happening, everyone who can come, come, if you can't, sorry." You'll never be able to please everyone and have a date that works for everyone, so just set a date, and run with it. Those who are MAD KEEN will be bale to organise something so they can come, those who can't will probably organise a local BIKEOI in their own region.

Either way, count me in! Just need at least a week or 2 notice to appl for time off.

17th Of November buddy. Midday at the parly building

Wellington November 17th watch this space for co--ordinating instructions.

Hopefully will get some poll threads up with list of meeting points / departure times so people can register where they are going to start from .

Well I'm applying for time off work, hope I get it. Its a shame that its not a weekend, I always felt that a protest that consisted of large numbers of motorcyclists would have applied more pressure on politicians (via images in media etc...) than a much smaller protest while parliament is sitting. Asking the people from New Zealands largest population base (by a considerable margin) to take 2-3 days off work in the midst of a recession will undoubtedly have a serious impact on numbers.

That being said, I will be attending the Wellington protest, the Auckland protest and any other protest I can, and will fight this proposal in every way I can.

...to take 2-3 days off work in the midst of a recession will undoubtedly have a serious impact on numbers.

paying the proposed increases in ACC levies will cost you more in the long run than taking a couple of Annual days Leave (which you get paid for).

I have my accommodation booked for the three days from Auckland, everyone needs to put the excuses away and get down to Wellington...

Sweet, 17th it is is there a plan for a rally in wellington on the sunday before? or is it simply just en mass to parliment on the 17th?

I happen to be catching an early morning flight to Wellington on 17th November. Has anyone got a spare bike I could borrow to take to the BIKOI protest ride? I will bring my own helmet and gear.
