After BIKEOI by Car?

[mashman]

Me is a Ginga!
You saying you would not let Nicole Kidman drive the lead car????

if it's between you and Nicole... nah, fair point huff... (i saw your pic in the paper Stones...) no gingas

Seriously, this is how the BIKEOI started, a jest...and we ran with it
So, set a parameter Mashy mate

I had thought it through a little further, where you're having the traffic at a stand still, have people (read bikers maybe) walking the streets of static traffic, canvassing passers by, drivers etc... gathering the thoughts of the people, educating them all about the potential for ACC hikes across the board!!! find out what the public would like to have done with THEIR health system...

Now, the "petition" would have to be an exceedingly well thought out document, something that can be printed onto a single side of paper and formatted in such a way that it's tick boxes etc... that way the "petition" can be filled in uber quickly (less harrassment) and the results can be OCR'd into a DB for some "real" analysis...

there's more to it than a mere mortal such as myself can take on (hence the suggestion)... More than happy to check out, i mean, interview the glamour section of the protest...

another good idea! buy up tons of those fake blood capsules. [theres heaps at work!]

with a sign above it asking who should be paying for the accident... it's that kind of imagery that's needed to gain maximum publicity... shame, but true!

If its a big enough truck maybe have a car crshed into a bike on it even...

another good idea! maybe one of those trucks with the curtain sides open? might be big enough, or one with a really long flatdeck?

Don't see the point of the crashed bike senario really-sorry folks. I DO see the point in making sure the general public is well aware how it will impact THEM if bikers are forced off their bikes.

I know what ya mean and whilst it seems like a joke, could you imagine pulling back the curtains and seeing a scene of death (not just a bike, but kids under cars, people falling of ladders impaled on fences etc...), similar to the style of looking in through a shop window... As i mentioned before, you need a striking image to get your point across, start debate, picture telling a thousand words etc... couple that with the education side of things and you have quite a powerful weapon? Reason enough Frosty?

I reckon a mass bikoi in cars, would be a good idea. Somehow(flags) identify that the whole line of cars is bikers forced into cages cos of ACC levies.

Ok heres my POV --I see a scene of carnage -bike all busted up etc quite frankly my thought would be -'well there ya go this is WHY acc wants bigger levvies for bikes" Kinda like with that poor sod that crashed on saturday media focus from one station was on the accident not on the 300 bikes that were peacefully protesting

I agree... totally... lets show them the future, if they allow this to happen, these are the repurcussions!!!

I agree. Crashing too much is the image we want people to remember less. Whilst there are plenty of bike crashes caused by cars we don't want to parrot that line too much given the amount we crash without cars.

I certainly agree with involving some cars in it as well as bikes in order to highlight that most bikers are already paying ACC for more than one vehicle.

Heh, i had a feeling that that last line would make it in there... hence why i'm suggesting that we also have kids crushed under cars, people falling off ladders, women falling of chairs whilst hanging their new curtains whilst all the time discussing shoes with their mate (it's easily done apparently ) etc... but i fully understand the point you're making and don't disagree with it at all...

ha ha ha... nice!!! and not a kick in the ass off being true... can anyone say carbon emissions tax!!!

I think something that has been very underused, thus far, is taking a leaf out of the governments books... I mean, there's plenty of twisted fuckers on here that could quite happily and easily play spin doctor so that our agenda looks better than theres!!!

me Id suggest another line-- A full on rugby scrum
With every player wearing a shirt with a big target on it
The sighn simply saying -- ACC---ARE THEY NEXT???

Definitely. Government is trying to privatise ACC and we're bravely defending it. We just happen to be the first victims of their dastardly scheme. As a continuation of the "Who's next?" theme I like it a lot.

And a cyclist. And a bunch of fat kids sitting in front of a TV watching how pollution from cars has killed the world.
