Yes I know this will piss off the public but remember we want a result and we can learn from Maori protesters and get what we want if we are prepared to take on weveryone.

    Thanks - sure for being good sports (I honestly think we made there evening quite exciting for them with no problems for them either).

    Sorry - no way, for what?

    merry xmas - sure, why not..

    edit..... PS - i'd be happy to come along if you just want some more cow around the place.

    Very good idea. That will definitely be seen as a nice act and might take away some of the heat that they were trying to put on bikers last night behind closed doors. (The politicians in general)

    Well done Wellington - this was a very effective and well-organised protest event - Stoney... cool - great work with the media. And thanks to those who took the lead and organised us so well. Cheers Rev.

    They were bloody good sports, the home owner spent the whole night outside with us admiring the bbikes, and agreeing the levies were way too high!

    Hard to treat that man as an enemy, he was a cool dude
    AND his Neighbour coming home on his Multistrada, was wrapt to see us all too!

    You need to be in Politics dude.

    The key (no pun intended) message is that we are impacting on the party members who want their party to be in longer. They will be passing the message back that this aint gona happen if they keep pissing core Communities (bikers are a Community) groups off...

    We need to keep the pressure up and target (peacefully) them.

    However next time we need to take a BBQ table, candles and a few lemonades...

    Have TV1 posted anything yet?

    It had sort of occurred to me that they might be stockpiling coverage for something more in depth. Here's hoping

    Great idea! Definitely say thanks & Merry Christmas but don't be saying sorry because we're not. I'm happy to join in too if you want some company.

    Yes I'm with Nasty on this one, due to my chosen profession I'd do not want to be involved in any illegal activities.

    Absolutly brilliant, pushed the right buttons and got a great result. All we now is more spontanious turn-ups and it really gets the message across. Great sound bit Stoney, just what TV is looking for.
