    Yes, and this issue is one close to my heart, and the hearts of many others. I attended a public meeting before Xmas where we got Nick Smith to agree that it was unfair to have your ACC ticket clipped so many times. If the next trip to Wellington needs a reason, then this will be it. See this one affects many, not just us bikers.

    So you two are a couple?

    With an axe to grind against MAG-NZ?

    ok, I give up trying to explain it. I can't deal with the net inept. Maybe someone else can try. Remember to speak slowly.

    You obviosly signed up to the ACC newsletters from KB as it says on the front/home page

    Keep up to date with the campaign against changes to our ACC.

    Sign up to the:
    ACC Levy Campaign Mailing List.

    If you want anything sent out on the mailing list, contact SpankMe.
    KB did not give MAG-NZ your email address... MAG most likely asked if an email could be sent about the launch of MAGNZ...

    as spank said if you don't want more info to be informed unsubscribe from it...

    Excuse me ...... I do NOT have an axe to grind against MAG. It has only just been set up.

    Go for your life. I like the one with the masturbating possum myself.

    Not a possum masturbating myself. Just to make that clear.

    He is. He is trying to finish his 6th book atm. He must have been really young when he got involved in MAG-UK

    Plenty of other things too. He has worked quite tirelessly and is close to becoming a player.
    BIKEOI etc.

    My opinion is 'we' don't need a MAG and a BRONZ. There isn't enough interested people.

    If one proves better than the other - well and good. If they serve to make each other weaker...time will tell huh.

    Ulysses is sponsoring talks on a 'motorcycle council'. But purport it to be non-political. I suspect that will change in time too.

    Good luck to all - said it all twice - I'm done - and will let the media make up their own minds.
    agreed ( except for the non political part )
    Les spoke really well for the motorcyclist, and like most thing we may not agree with most , but it doesn't matter as the only things those idiots in wellington see are money , and votes ( reputation ...im not sure they care based on some recent media )

    hike the rates , change the Acc the current government HAS done this

    Has done , finished , done, you pay

    Les and a lot of other worked their arse off , and the silent majority , had to go to work , ( insert cheap excuse )

    Now pay up and don't wine ,,,, or sell your bike

    As it says on the site, being politically neutral does not equate to being politically neutered..
    The main reason why MAG had so much clout was because it had so many members..and they where active and having some good times.

    Never tooo old mate, I mean I was on MAG runs in 76 FFS.
