MAG-NZ launches in New Zealand

[scracha]

I am very aware of that. My question still stands. Is MA-NZ affiliated to KB?

If not, using the KB mailing facility seems somewhat strange.

KB sends out emails pertaining to anything relating to the ACC issue. It is clearly stated when you join KB.
From time to time, the administrators and/or other members may want to send you email notifications or messages. If you do not want to receive email from certain people then you may disable the options here

Not the first time emails have been sent out (Bikeoi and I think Bronz related stuff). They don't come very frequently either but if you don't like it, change the option in your user profile. If you still aren't happy then just leave, but please don't slam the door when you exit.

Oh, while you're at it...can you ask your lawyer to sort out NZ's most prolific spammer,, Richard Gee http://geewiz.co.nz/

From memory, the last protest we had in Auckland had over 100, not that long ago, sure someone will have the exact number, and it was a mite on the damp side...
We had a ball.

[oldrider]

both he and John Key are just puppets... I keep saying you want change cut the strings and find the puppeteers

True, no argument about that but they suffer no consequence from their political actions or affiliations!

Other than the three yearly MMP mock election, where they may get thrown out of a seat and then stroll back in through the party vote back door!

They think that they are untouchable under MMP!

We (motorcyclists) should target Nick Smith personally and really hound him into political oblivion!

If we do it well enough the National party will quickly abandon him in their own interest!

It would also establish motorcyclists as a group not to be fucked with in the future!

One objective, one target, one focus a clear time frame and a united front...I.E. his ACC crimes against us!

We have time to do it by the next election, just focus on "Smith" and nothing else and pound him every day 24/7!

Death by a thousand cuts is still death and we could cut him up good if we really "wanted to", thousands of us!

Cut him out of the mob and do him, that's the way nature does it! The bastard!

Never ONCE did I say it was a CLUB or lobby group or national body?....I am fully aware of what it does and how it works..............Its just a lot more useful to the everyday biker than the groups you have listed !

No, you didn't. But you did imply that KB is the only motorcycle-related 'organisation' that is needed. Which I pointed out, it isn't.
KB is not an agent for change, although it's members can be - by setting up an Incorporated Society to be the face of those wanting change/improvement for our chosen form of transport/recreation. Other Incorporated societies exist for much the same purpose - but their performance/s may fall short of what many want. Hence their desire to set up a new one that will serve that need.

So now all the crappy admin stuff is done.

When do we burn down the beehive?

[Pixie]

They have achieved quite a lot really - you just seem too generally miserable to notice.
The minister consults Les (amongst others that represent larger numbers of riders).
It was Les who put the 'put money aside for safety measures' is his clam-like.
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.

I was referring to MNZ

Just need to drop the money in the bank when I get home tonight... Congratulations to MAG-NZ et al, site looks great, plenty of concise information and a desire to look after the future health of your fellow country(wo)men... Actions speak louder than words ...

[shrub]

I think we're long overdue for an active national body representing motorcycling's interests in the same way that the AA do for car drivers. I'm keen to add my support to MAG NZ at this stage.

Having a Wellington MAG_NZ is all part of the grand plan. You may just have got yourself a little job

Dude - we have some people on a web site that 95% of the motorcycle owners in NZ don't belong to - with all good intentions - basically undermining the potential of the the existing organisation.

I think it's a lamentable state of affairs.

I'm out of politics for good.

And there you have it. It's realising that potential that counts...
And talking of lamentable states of affairs...I just spoke with a local m/c store. They had never even heard of that existing organisation.
