Motorcycle ACTION Now!

[nosebleed]

Your posts have been bugging me, but not for the reasons that others are responding to.
You post coherent sentences and then make schoolboy references with user names.
These jibes don't sit right in the posts you're making and seem awkwardly antogonistic.

But I've just worked it out with "layman". You're using a spellchecker.
This is why you made reference to "mama" and "layman".
Either turn it off, or recheck your posts after the spellchecker has been through and undo the correction on the usernames.

Unless of course i'm widly mistaken and you are being deliberate, in which case, as you were.

You guys aren't seriously suggesting they might use the earthquake in Christchurch as an excuse to suspend the election now are you?

Buy a tin foil hat guys...

I dunno, hadn't thought about that.

I just don't trust them.
There was no need to give Brownlee the powers of a dictator last time and many of our lawyers and judges are VERY concerned about that one.
I see them looking for whatever advantage they can get and I don't automatically believe they will not use the situation to their advantage

Politicians are liars and manipulative by definition

[idleidolidyll]

And again with the insults. The question is when are you gonna grow up and actually be constructive. What are your proposals - what are the actual options that you are wanting considered - actually say something rather than antagonise for no gain.

What insult? Please be a little clearer;
Did you miss where Katman was trying to put words in my mouth?

No, I've stated that I'm not gonna post tactics here (yet), I don't trust any of the coppers and pollies watching these spaces.

Correct, bloody iPhone!

Spare us the fucking theatrics.

The motorcyclist most likely to die in your arms would have been trying to keep up with your public road/racetrack heroics.

Katman

Please pull head in; a KB rider died (literally) in my arms late 2009 on a KB ride after crashing having hit gravel.
The cops arrived and before speaking to a single witness, pronounced their verdict; 'he was speeding'

Fact is he wasn't at that point and three other KB members can attest to that

As for trying to keep up; he left he previous stop quite a while before us as he knew he was a slower rider. He was in front of us not behind.

Frankly; that comment is your most outrageous yet and highly offensive not only to me but to the memory of our downed biker and his family.

Oh I see, you think Layman is the insult

FYI; it's Apples bloody spellcheck on the iPhone and I often miss these as I type.
Sometimes I catch them afterward and change em

[idleidolidyll]

so what happens if we don't want you to "fight" on our behalf?????????.

All of you or just a few vociferous ones?

In the end, as Caseye noted; if bikers don't get off their arises and act or at least support those prepared to act on their behalf; they are pretty much GUARANTEED to get an ass reaming

Of course Caseye said it somewhat more eloquently than that..........

[BoristheBiter]

What is the ONLY thing that hasn't actually been tried yet?

That's right: ACTION

until it's tried, we will never know if it works or not.
Are you prepared to give up before it is tried?

As I said in another post: about the only thing I've ever seen really get a result for bikers was ACTION against Auckland City over parking. We took over half the city just once and they capitulated.

Are you gonna let the detractors stop you even trying?
You have bugger all to lose but a lot to gain.

Are you trying to be a politician, trying to sound more intelligent than you are or have you responded to the wrong post?
That post doesn't answer any of the questions i asked you, you just asked some question that I didn't care about in the first place

So again why do you think the powers that be are trying to get ride of bikers and in your opinion what has been done so far to have this assumption?

And what is this about taking over half the city in regards to parking, first i have heard of it, heard about the Wellington one, and Auckland is a very large city to take over half.

En masse refusal to pay your rego and clogging the court system works for me.

Everyone should put their rego on hold immediately. You can still ride legally since the "on hold" only comes into force at the end of the rego period.
If all bikers did that??? Who knows.

Or, take your rego money donate the lot to the Christchurch Quake appeal.

Then, when the authorities ask "where is your rego", tell them where their money went.....then tell them to fuck off....

Tell ya what, leave off the idiot personal attacks and I'll discuss with you. Continue and I wont bother.

1. Action in Akl City re parking. You may be too young to have known it or an immigrant.
That was over 30 years ago and we took action that achieved the desired result.
FYI; you don't have to take over a whole city; just take damn near every carpark in the CBD with one bike each space.

Most of the leaders of the various biker orgs know about that one but they ignore it in favor of PC bullshit.

2. Re ridding the roads of bikers.
Go read the MAG website, it discusses Aucklands anti bike policy.
In the past, roads were swept clean, now they are not. Draw a conclusion: even Gough the regulations require roads to be left clean and swept, it is not enforced and Govt doesn't give a shit.
Past politicians have indicated they want to see less bikes. However, you don't have to hear that said to understand; you only have to consider how they ignore our calls re cheesecutters, gravel, potholes, bad road design for motorbikes n bicycles etc etc

Not everything is spelled out in B&W, in fact politicians prefer that it isn't so they can blame someone else.

That's all you get for now. A polite reply will get you more, another silly attack will guarantee nothing comes your way

Doesn't cost them a red cent and they know you'll reg again when the hold ends

Can't see it working but thanks for offering a valid option

[idleidolidyll]

THAT one I really like!

[Katman]

If all bikers did that??? Who knows.

And once others saw motorcyclists doing it en masse, those who feel they are being hit by the ACC levies (cue the "Who's next" theme) could be easily encouraged to do likewise.

It's the only action I can see that would gain widespread support.

[Usarka]

People are/have already put rego's on hold and that is why we are seeing motorcyclists being targeted by the cops for safety reasons.
