"A shark on whiskey is mighty risky, but a shark on beer is a beer engineer" - Tad Ghostal
I don't know whether BRONZ see this whole thing as a joke or not but they would be well advised to note that there's many motorcyclists that are fast losing all confidence in them.
Who is BRONZ??? He's made 6 posts on Kiwibiker and wants us to all go on a crusade with him.
Where do Ixion or some of the more reputable kiwibiker protest leaders sit on this.
Do mom, maha, caseye, fatt max, stoney and others know anything about this???
Maybe all will be revealed closer to the time???

THE AIMS OF BRONZ ARE:
To promote road safety through road user education.
Education rather than legislation saves lives.
To protect and promote the rights of the motorcyclist to decide his/her own future as a road user.
Let those who ride decide.
To promote and protect the general welfare of the motorcycling public.

I don't see how sneaking around in balaclavas at unknown locations is going to raise our profile and protect our rights as motorcyclist's.

We'll update you with exact location , and game plan nearer the day. Sufficiently nearer that it's too late for TPTB to stop it.

I have found that a large bunch of bikes is anything but quietthey can take up a huge amount of space if parked correctly
and cause a bit of confusion for the constabulary when they group in large numbers on the motorways despite plod being made aware they would be there

As someone said earlier, this could be seen by those we are trying to influence as a break in bikers solidarity. None of us want that cos it simply does not help.
I have to agree with Mom that whatever is being planned, it is being sold in a way that is almost....dare I say it....elite-ist (scuse spelling please). I joined BRONZ back in March because I felt there was a good angle in getting behind them. Trouble is, I have not heard anything from them as a member, only what has been posted here. I am a bit pissed off that there is the possibility of division especially after the AAG got the blood pumping again a couple of months ago.
In my humble and overweight opinion, can BRONZ please step on up, give both members and subscribers to this site (who are all bikers by the way.....apart from me at the minute cos my hand hurts....and I dont have a bike till next week....and my mum dressed me funny...) some true definition and purpose to what is happening here.
Bottom line is, if we divide we leave ourselves wide open for Smiffy and his cronies to spin the old 'see, the bikers cant even agree what was all the noise for' scenario.
Mom's comment re taking up a lot of space, well, I'm fecking good at that. No matter where you are on a ride, I'll be beside ya.....
As I said, my humble opinion
Unconfirmed just mean unconfirmed. BRONZ are seeking official permission for three sites. Hopefully one will be definite by tomorrow night. One is bike accessible but not trike/car (bollardy things).
If we don't get permission they'll fall back to one that doesn't need it or just do it anyway.
Them as is sensitively concerned about not causing any disruption or problems, need not come. But many have pointed out that an apologetic "excuse me please' approach hasn't done an awful lot so far.
