    LOL. You haven't noticed he's a bit of a Labourite?
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Yes, it was worth the effort. We came and made a noise. The Union turn out was dissappointing but it has made me personally so much more up and behind this protest because it is the right thing to do. Stoney, Riffer and Co made this a true protest. If it comes down to us then FFS let it be us.
    Had a great chat with Caseye afterwards about where to from here and a fantastic inspring beer with some great people after, certainly made me want to push this even harder.
    So, it was worth it, every fecking minute of it. There is so much more to do but I'm up for it and I know the bikers are, so lets have it.
    Sorry for my wailings by the way, hope everyones ears are ok....

    Was worth every Kilometer I travelled both there and back.

    Awesome ride, well worth the effort.

    It was worth it in the sense we're telling the Govt & the (dis)honorable Nick Smith, that we're still here & aint going away anytime soon, but the turn out was kinda piss poor, I think the unions could have done much better then they did.
    I think we need BOKEOI ver2.0 (Just to throw a "Buzz" word in there) but this time we invite every car club & truckie org in NZ lets clog the streets of Wellington make some noise & show that New Zealands can be a force to reckon with and we want ACC to be as was intended!

    On a more important matter tho, does anyone know where I can catch a clip of Fatt Max's wicked ACC song?

    Fatt Max/casey awesome to say hi n Fatt awesome awesome songs mate .. you really did good

    good to get hugs from the regulars ..

    too right it was worth it.The line up at the front is looking very slick .the speakers were varied and interesting,goes to show there is an understanding about this issue across a wide cross section of society.I am sure you all noticed a LOT of people did peep out to see what was happening.The actual number s were disapoimting but we have raised the awareness that we aint finished with this.I think it was good even from that point of view
