Les just rolled over

[dpex]

The whole response to Nix Myth from Les Mason and the dude from Ulysses wants to make me puke.

We all knew the game-plan was for ACC to come out proclaiming a huge increase then have Aunty Nikki make us all feel good with a 'significant' reduction.

And what happened? Les Mason and the dude from Ulysses got in the media asserting it was a good outcome and just goes to show how our voices were heard.

Jesus! But what planet are you guys on? We got shafted, as did all other registered road users and employees.

Did any beneficiary get a direct increase? Any superannuant? Any tourist? Did any other road-user, or off-road user get clouted?

The answer is a resounding NO!

Did Tricky Nikki come out and confirm that ACC is now an insurance company? NO!

Did he confirm that in line with all insurance companies, non-claimants would get a no-claims bonus? NO

We got shafted and our so-called representatives just rolled over and took it up the arse.

Les, I didn't ride all the way to Welly, and/or spend the time and money I have spent on fighting the increases just to have the likes of you roll over like a satisfied doormat.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

WELL SAID DPEX, i believe in what you are saying, i thought the whole idea of protesting and organising was for a 0% increase and we got shafted big time. the dishonorable nick smith has come out looking like he has listened to all the bikers and submissions, what a load of BULLSHIT, nick smith i hope you rot in hell.

[Squiggles]

christ, lets all start threads rather than reading the other one eh? Nobody has accepted the increase...

[Hopeful Bastard]

Fuck me.. You are a stuck up cunt aint ya? Next time, How about you go and take the role of Media Communications.. See how you do it?

All i can say is Well done Les and Anyone else that was in the Media spotlight. You done me, And most likely everyone else, Proud! I congratulate you for all the hard work you guys done. Well done!

I think Les and BRONZ did a great job, and we have got a much better outcome than we could have anticipated at the begining.

But I think ACC have been reading our own posts.

They now know that sticking on $175 each and every year will get them to the same place in just 3 1/2 years, with no protests, just grumpy compliance.

They can get fucked, I'm not paying. Its very easy for a biker to avoid checkpoints and random stops and I don't get speeding tickets so they will have to catch me.

With 3 bikes to register, my break-even is a ticket every 6 weeks.

That's if they don't raise the ticket price. Speaking of which, how long would the process of trying to do that actually take?

I'm using the money I save by not paying...to buy a faster bike.

Fuckers are going to have to keep the helicopter on standby if they are going to have a chance.

Dpex... go fuck yourself

Les (Ixion)... much appreciation for your fine efforts!

[Qkkid]

Actually, dude, it wasn't all about you.

I second that.

Even if Les said fuck the lot of you and walked away he would still be deserving of massive respect for what has been done.

[Okey Dokey]

I thought Les did a very good job on checkpoint on radio NZ National tonight. Didn't say bikers were happy- and didn't rule out further agitation once BRONZ had discussed the announcement. Thanks again Les.

bullshit it was a good outcome ,we were never going to get a zero increase,its there next move that needs to be watched ,the message must have got though to some of the polys , opinions are like arseholes everyones got one

[slofox]

If ANYONE expected to get NO increase, then they live in cloud-cuckoo land...

No matter how much protest there was, some increase was inevitable. Once the drones at ACC had made up their minds, we had no show at all of zero increase...get real here people...
