    There is nothing united about motorcyclists.
    I can float anything I like as I do not need any permission on here.

    But the party could be called anything that would be suitable.

    And you are wrong. There is a couple of things that unite us:
    1. A like of Bikes.
    2. Hate of bike thieves
    3. Dislike of things that cuts down our freedom to ride.
    4. A deep desire to lock up forever any drink driver who repeatedly make our riding unsafe.

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    Ok, I've been playing with this idea before, sounds like a plan. At the very least if someone votes for the party it is a vote the lying scum mainstream parties would get. That in itself is a win, isnt it not?

    So, how, who, where and when...??

    Lets find out... If Bill and Ben can do it then surely...

    It might have become obvious, but if not: I am in!

    Will be in Paeroa tomorrow, but I get stuck in and figure out what is needed on Monday. (Or if someone else has the time please feel free to figure stuff out and post here)

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    Found this:

    http://www.elections.org.nz/rules/pa...ter-party.html

    And it states that we would need 500 members and that there is no fee to pay to register...

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    1.I only like my bikes, I hate everyone elses
    2. Agreed
    3.Other motorcyclists do a good job of that
    4.Drink drivers are only a portion, but safest while they are still drinking.

    See, you already agreed that you were wrong re your first posting. Who knows, there might be other things that you actually would agree on...

    If I change that first point to: Bikers like their own bikes. Then suddenly we agree on two things!!

    I can just sense Bikers United gathering momentum!!!

    Yeah man , why the fuck not.....atleast even forming a party will make the powers to be ,quake in thier boots somewhat, & make them realise that after the ACC kerfuffle that theres a minority thats getting oraganised to stand up & be heard which is something they dont really want as it may encourage others....

    2 things guys................. plus 2 other things


    1. Would we have to be nice to bicycle riders?

    2. As elections are help on wknds, that's a lot of absentee votes to rely on (everyone will be out riding)

    3. Any political rallies should be held at Bike Rallies to maximize numbers.

    4. Just remembered, I'm not a NZer

    1. No

    2. Postal votes!

    3. I like your thinking!

    4. Race, sexual orientation, religion, or any other difference does not matter as long as you are a biker!

    1. Yay

    2. This is my point... how many votes are 'lost' due to postal/absentee non-votes.

    3. Bike riders are used to milling around in large groups making grumbling noises & sounding out the occasional cheer. True that usually involves some-one dropping their bike or a bit of a titty flash.

    4. Hmmm... so is OK I'm from OZ? I do visit a lot. Cool! You got my vote
