You shit stirrer you

As I say none IN the meeting.....do what ya like at the bar bro

Reasons:
Top Cop in attendance
Reporters (rumor has it TV3 are coming)

All jokes aside, how DO we want this to be seen?
Drunken, brawling, leather clad morons?
Or sensible, tax paying contributors to society?

And the Parrot was the only sympathetic venue I could find.......(only one I rang tbh)

I didn't think they were mutually exclusive - I consider myself a drunken brawling leather clad sensible tax paying contributor to society.

[i draw the line at moronic]

Will try to make it for a listen - but have a meeting at work which will no doubt overlap.

Ulysses Club President got it wrong with the Truckies protest.

Yep, they blocked up the motorway and a few dumbarse car drivers got pissed with them, but the made their point well known depite media over hype.

Its a pity we are not rallying yesterady and today since they have been arguing the ACC changes in the house (well Maori party just said they would support it so they don't have to turn up for work).

Whilst I'm not recommending any hoonisism (that has to be a word)... I don't think we should be handing out flowers. It is a protest.

I do wonder how they really lost 10-13 Billion dollars.... I don't buy the "Antie Helen said it was okay to over spend" bit,

If this gets as big as i think it could the last thing we are going to need is some one going for a skid and the media all over it. Headlines would go some thing like
"Big biker ACC meeting ends in horrific crash"
or
"Biker clocked at (insert speed here) after ACC meeting"

I would like to put forward a call for all people on anything with 2 wheels for the day that we plan this ride to be Nanas for the day understand the reason and respect why.

I know this is an ego blow on my part as i,m nothing of no one but I really felt it needed to be said.

Totally totally agree zjet ! I think EVERYONE has to be on their game totally. The term herding cats has been used. A few thousand people on bikes could become very messy.

Wouldn't want to jinx anything but I def think everyone has to be extra careful.

I've bunny hopped a few bikes after a peleton has come down in front of me in a cycle race - but my condor is 6kgs. The Thruxton is 220kgs...

I heard you can bunny hop daytonas tho

Bring the megaphone on the day bro ! There will prolly be a couple of thousand riders there, that would not have read that post !!

It happened at the last protest, where the media picked up on some hoonish riding as ppl were leaving parliment !

Wasn't me !

Big thumbs up to you both.

Tonights meeting at the P & J was great.
Stoney, it is incredible the amount of work you have put into this already.
And Nasty, you make a great public speaker.
There were lots of good positive contributions and ideas from the floor as well.
Well done everyone.

Mwah hah hah!!! You posted it tooooo late, too laaaaaaaate!!!

Well done StoneY!!! It was a great meeting with excellent and valid discussion and clear ideas about what everyone there wanted, i.e. not to piss off the public but to educate them and get them on our side.

I've got the email addresses and will be setting up a group email so everyone who attended can be sent the notes taken and some of the keys ideas we came up with.

Good work everyone!!

Hi, any chance those notes can be shared further afield with those that couldn't be there?
