Would we need to get bikes inside?

catch up with all at Levin. and 14th.

cheers,

Bob

We don't care. What's important is that you ride, and will be there to support ALL motorcyclists in their fight against the juggernaut.
Good on you.

Can you point me to a place, on here ,that has the facts on why we are protesting this? What are the representatives going to say on our behalf? One of the reasons I was going to protest was, incorrectly as it would appear, that all motorcycle accidents where listed as motorcycle accidents. IE farm etc. But if that is not the case, what are the grounds we are protesting on?

What facts do you need pointing at? I know you are on dialup and that's a pain, but there's thread after thread with the sort of claims/bullshit ACC are dribbling.
For instance, your question re what is a motorcycle claim...
I don't know for sure, AND NEITHER DO ACC, that motorcycle claims are all on the road. There is good evidence out of Waikato Hospital that riders presenting for treatment are put on the claim form as having had a motorcycle accident, with no requirement for location to be recorded...yet as many as 80% of them were dirtbike riders. Who don't pay a levy on those machines. ACC lumps them in the cost side of things., and it's one of the reasons that there is a big difference between their crash numbers and those of the MOT. I can't speak for farmbike accidents, but one does have to wonder...
ACC is apparently losing money? Oh really?
You can find some interesting things in here...ao, and here too.
