Ulysses please explain why you're selling us out

While we're on that subject, can you give us any idea how many motorcyclists have bothered to join BRONZ since this ACC thing started?

There will be a few on Monday in Wellington, that's for sure!

I been getting hammered with PMs and replies saying 'in joining'

Between 100 and 200 in Auckland. Peggy's a bit behind, not used to ahving so many to process.

Thinking of joining there ol Katman?

Hmmm just a question while on the subject, does the Palmy area have a BRONZ presence?

I don't believe so, but talk to Les.
Or join us in Wellington, not too far away

Taranaki would cover it I imagine?

EDIT. I think Mr Katman has already joined up.

So it's safe to say that though most every ordinary motorcyclist in NZ now knows that the event they attended in Wellington was organised by BRONZ only a mere 200 have actually bothered to join up.
WOW, they're really serious.
We should become pro active and encourage anyone who doesn't have an affiliation with ANY motorcycle group to do so!
Obviously for our own(BRONZ) devious ends it'd be best if they joined us.

I have to admit the thought of having a nice little patch sewed onto my jacket sounds tempting.

[NONONO]

The reason's fairly simple. Ulysses is a club. And has the usual club activities - rides, club nights and so on. People are conditioned to pay for that.

BRONZ isn't a club, it's an advocacy group. Most of the time , bikers aren't being targeted. So no-one sees any reason to join BRONZ. Then of course when we ARE targeted , everyone wants BRONZ to "do something" - but still very few actually join up.

Same thing as KiwiBiker - how much money has that raised from the thousands of "members" it has? Mr Spankme has to scramble to even try to cover costs on his T shirts.

If there's 100000 riders in the country and 10% of them put in $50 each, we'd be able to fund a proper professional publicity campaign. They won't, we can't.

For Fucks Sake Les..Ask for the donation!
Start the fighting fund, my $50.00 is here and waiting.

I have not joined BRONZ. It is quite deliberate too. I want to be able to do my own thing without being hampered (for want of a better word) by the mandates that they operate under. I may reconsider my position later down the track, but for now I want to be me - Mom - biker of NZ. When I am asked what group I belong to I can hand on heart say none. I am just me, a pissed off biker who seems to have lots of pissed off friends.

I fully support BRONZ and what they are doing, I do that in person, hands on when I can.

I only ever saw my $20 as a donation.

I don't belong to anyone.

Sorry Mom had a look at that link and it looks like a fund raiser for the Welly ride.
Think we need something updated, raising funds for specifics, such as the newspaper add or a lobbyist's fees.
Maybe a new thread with specifics eh?

It was intended to carry through beyond the Welly protest ride but bear in mind this all happened rather quickly. But I can see what you mean from the initial thread.

I am more than happy to continue to administer any fundraising required to fight the ACC campaign.

For some strange reason I can no longer update the thread - I have advised the Mods. So a new thread is more than probable

Not a new thread, I am sure the mods have enough to do. Maybe a re-vamp of the original. Thank you for pointing it out. I have not been near it since it started, though I no longer have a functioning iron, mine died ironing transfers
