Westpac called to dirt bike crash Wgtn

[evoetr]

You could be right about the quad - I dont know the details, have just seen the little memorial up there for him.
I think if you want to ride down the coast road you have to get permission from the guys who own the farm station? There was a bit of a thread about it on here a few weeks back...
Dont know about riding down the end of Wgtn Road - is that Upper Fitzherbert Road or something? I've cycled down there but not gone down there on the dirt bike

Na upper fitzherbert is the next street over, Wellington road is ahh... if your going past the firestation heading north keep going north though the round about.

acc loves to pay for shit they shouldnt.

Hope they paid for their ACC levies - oh that's right, dirt bikes don't do that

Now now crazy horse don't get too excited, I think you will find that most people who own dirt bikes also own cars/utes/vans to transport them and quite a few also own road or dual purpose bikes.

FTR I own a ute, a road bike and 2 dirt bikes. If they decided to bring in reg for dirt bikes as well the upcoming exobitant reg for road bikes I would be up creek without paddle.

Yeah I know..... my kids both have them too, but the ACC thing is frustrating, and I would rather cage's get increased too. It should all be accross the board - fair and even

Hey, stop hassling the Nui!
I hear plenty of bikes in the firebreaks above my place, is very tempting to go up there but I've been up there once on the dirtbike and feel its just too dodgy. Didnt a guy on a dirtbike die up there a few years ago? (and not at the hands of Graham Burton)

Yeah it was quite a few years ago now that he died, thats why they decided no more bikes etc up there, to many accidents, doesn't stop anyone going up there though cos its a bloody good place to ride !!

Go da Nui !!

We're keeping our heads down hoping not to be noticed. Bastard levies certainly are a crock though, I feel your pain - from a distance.

are comparing the risk between a car and a road bike?

Hold on a minute, it was my understanding that the government takes a percentage out of ALL petrol taken from the pump and gives it to ACC and the other part to fix roads etc....

So for Motocross through to lawnmowers, anything that uses petrol is already being taxed for ACC through the cost of Fuel AND dirt bikes are already paying road tax in the fuel for the road we do not use.

He was riding a 400cc Motox Bike. Similar thing, crashed into his mate.

Apparently, Cages are going up as well. Not as much as what us bikers are getting hit with. But they are still gonna get hit..

without turning this into an ACC argument, the ACC content on a car reg is doubling and the ACC levies on earnings are going up too, thats the whole point they're screwing us many times over all for the sake of a bookkeeping glitch, road bike rider, dirt bike rider, car driver, pedestrian, we should all be pissed

[Hopeful Bastard]

we should all be pissed

Well then, Where's me piss?? Just make sure i dont do a Stunt man would ya?? Drunk outta my skull and take the Ag through that walkway..
