New ACC motorcycle levies confirmed

[Kiwi B]

This is such fucking bullshit - along with the whole levy increase scenario, how can we be going down the same road as the old/soon to be changed 250cc learner limit??? its taken the morons years to figure out that power to weight is the most important figure and now we are back to square one again with ACC and their CC spilt- for fucks sake who are these people??? If they are hell bent of a split of some sort AT LEAST MAKE IT BASED ON POWER TO WEIGHT!!

Soon it will be learner cage drivers can only drive less than 2000cc and they will just go a buy an Evo 10 with 300+hp.

This whole ACC thing really pisses me off mostly because of all the obvious fundamental cock ups - nothing makes any sense!!

sorry rant over

[Deano]

Still not acceptable.

And how can they, at what seems the stroke of a pen, now lower the proposed increase and still hope to keep ACC on track budget wise ? (According to their own rationale/justification)

Is this an admission that the first proposed levy figures were incorrect ?

BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT

[MSTRS:Me]

The thing that Fucks me off is that the media have really been obliviouse to the whole thing really - STILL NO ONE HAS ASKED HIM FACE TO FACE TO JUSTIFY HIS FIGURES and secondly NO MEDIA HAVE ASKED HIM WHY KEEP HITTING THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY PAYING A HIGH LEVY NOW IN PROPORTION TO THEIR USAGE and NOT TRY TO COLLECT FROM THE OTHER GROUPS THAT GOBBLE UP ACC FUNDS - RUGBY, SOCCER, NETBALL, DIRTBIKES, MOUNTAIN BIKE, ROAD CYCLISTS!!! FOR FUCK SAKE!!!!!

Have a happy day

Sorry...you are wrong....except for the oblivious media. One and all, the hard questions (and facts) have been put to them. But no media reporting, and no truthful response from The Prick.

still wont be regestering

[DEVVIL]

Its still a bigger percentage rise than the other road users (except for mopeds), and does in no way fit in with ACC's no fault system. The cc groups are absurd, I ride more carefully on my 650 than I did on my 250. NOT FUCKING HAPPY. Actually I think that a good protest that fucks up heaps of peoples' travel for the day would make me feel better. We tried being nice and it did work but not to the extent we wanted. Im all for pissing off the public now.

Lets do it!!
Rolling road blocks!!

Would like to know how much the average wage earner would lose over a year with these new figures. The media mentioned before around $500, is that still the case?

[MSTRS:Me]

About $150

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

About $150

The Majestic 12 are at it again... give with this hand I get a tax cut... while they secretly take with the other... its an old magican trick slight of hand...

I've already decided to license our bikes for six months of the year only, so they'll be losing. We'll just take a punt during the winter months.

That's for when John Deere amalgamates with Hogley Fergusson

Kawasaki make a militarised KLR650 with a diesel engine. There are others and they will be increasing in numbers and availability. Diesel engines just need oil that will go bang when you squeeze it.

[Muppet]

Bollocks!!!!!!

[chanceyy]

its still no where near acceptable in my opinion. So still in with protest actions

[k2w3]

The protest on the 19th now just seems, well, a bit soft. No disrespect intended to the organisers, but a soft protest might be viewed by the politicians as the last gasp of a hardcore few remaining 'angry bikers' who'll eventually drift away as the numbers start to fade, given the fact they're probably feeling as though they've 'met us halfway'. Bollocks to that.
