MAG-NZ launches in New Zealand

[Pixie]

The system worked very well in that particular case. It could well have been worse!

Very well except the truck crossed into opposing traffic and crushed a car before coming to rest against a tree-pffft

Sounds like you won't be joining us then, thanks for your interest in the thread anyway.....

I sincerely wish the group well, it appears honourable. You're correct though I wont be joining MAG, if anything I'll join Ulysses and provide my support through them. Have been considering that move for a while.

It will be interesting to watch how far your team get though.

Best of luck

So a question, what caused the crash?

• Poor driving skills
• Speed
• Maintenance of the truck

Had the truck hit concrete barriers, it could well have climbed those; rolled over, or bounced its way down the motorway causing havoc, possible death.

My point - Look at the cause of the crash.

Not trying to stifle debate are ya?

Not at all, however this thread is about the launch of MAG-NZ and not the WRB's

Can you please take this discussion into a thread relating to the Cheesecutters.

So do new member get stickers? or access to purchase stickers? Got 2 cars and a bike that seem rather naked without some cool stickers.... Just thinking that the more opportunity to get the name and logo out, the better. Maybe MAG logo for the bike and the same but with the url for the cages.

How about getting a shit load of flyers out to motorcycle businesses?

The thread is about what people want to talk about.

For me it's about seeing how this new group handles the cut & thrust of competing agenda's, skepticism, kiwi knocking, band-waggoning and all the other stuff that goes along with putting yourself in the public eye here in Godzone.

I'm interested to find out about the types of people you are and how you handle yourselves. Y'see I'm part of the great unwashed that hasn't joined your, or anyone else's, action/political group and I wanna see if there is a reason to change that.

I don't know for sure either. Les has kicked some goals. Finn has worked tirelessly for years. Peggy is Stoic. Stoney - Riffer - ya know - they have put in.

There is no member of my committee bagging the people that have worked so hard over many years. They are to be respected and applauded for their efforts. We would never bag the newcomers either, for they have worked equally as hard as a lot of us have in the past 10 months.

However, there is a place for a group that is not afraid to stand up and be counted. The Action group have a proven track record of organising sucessful protest rides. We are going to take this WRB issue back to the government. We are not going to stop lobbying against unfair treatment of bikers, we will stand up for the little guy. We will make it easy for our members to have a voice.

We also will not forget that bikers are social beasts and need to have fun from time to time. We will be organising "events" to give our members an opportunity to have a bit of fun.

We are new, there is more, much more in the pipeline.

Come along to our launch on October 3rd and meet the lot of us and pick our brains on what we are all about.

You know, you are the 2nd person today to ask about stickers. We have badges on the way, and are looking into some patches as well. It looks like we might have to organise some stickers as well

[St_Gabriel]

and are looking into some patches as well.

But but but, if you do that we will never be allowed to visit W(h)anganui will we?????, I mean, didnt they ban patched members? (Does that also exclude John Wayne Bobbit?)

[Mom]

I emailed a heap of shops today, our flyer for our launch is a work in progress at this stage, hopefully completed this coming week. Flick one of us an email @mag-nz.org with your email addy and we will email you a copy when we have it ready. We can print and post you some too, just tell us where to send them. If you can help us build our contact database please feel free to add as many other emails etc as you can.

Stickers? Stickers?...Oh the humanity, what bout the bleedin paint?
Bobbit, shmobbit, small man syndrome....dead I think, not enough blood to the brain.

[Conquiztador]

I know I should really care, but...

[Squiggles]

BRONZ are still very much in evidence Bren. Read the website, MAG-NZ is definately NOT a politically motivated group.

I dont understand the action part not being political? Do you mean not aligned with National/Labour?

I'll prolly join next pay, belong to most groups (BRONZ, MNZ, SMC, not-ulysses-because-im-not-ancient-although-i-attended-one-of-their-meetings-once-)

Why do NZ bike related shops/clubs all gravitate towards black and yellow?
