MSL Council to be lead by Gareth Morgan

[Mom]

Hi Anne,
You can request information from ACC using the freedom of information act or there is information on the ACC website which answers most of the things you raise.
www.acc.co.nz Then under the "individuals" heading click motorcyclists, you can subscribe to receive updates.

Thank you for this. In fact I am registered for updates about this from ACC, I have not received any...

I may have to register again.

Hey, I'm only guessing. I was only 2 in 1966.

Another youngster in our midst

And I was only fweeeeee!.

I blame it all on flares, sideburns and platform go-go boots.




Any altruistic system has always been prey to those who want to screw it. Perhaps all those who used to have a sense of propriety and honour got sick of being rooted while those ripping off the system got away with it (or even rewarded for it).

Honour, integrity and pride seem to have lost their way in our society.

Ain't that the truth.

Ok, so if in, say, 5 years time, there is no appreciable change in the accident stats, what then?

Scrap the MSL?

Increase the levy, in order to fund more of the same?

[StoneY]

Well I have had to edit this post



I will no longer post anything about the MSL on this forum

[riffer]

Thanks for the update dude. Shocking spelling but I'll let you off this time.

Get some bloody rest will ya!

[James Deuce]

Fuck the AA. And the horseless carriage they rode in on.

I think it's great you're being paid. It's the whole point of Quangos and it wasn't fair that you were missing out.

[Big Dave]

Your desication is very dry.

Ah ....typo fixed BD thanks for that - sorry all S is next to D and I am seeing 20 fingers hovering over my keyboard.......

Off to bed soon cheers

[Usarka]

Thanks for the post, get some reast!

he seems very sincere in this.

All that tells me is that he is experienced in politics...... Time will tell I guess.

ps - and remember he admits AA's bias and he is there as an AA employee and will have a mandate from them.

Let he who is without typo cast the firts stone - y.

or there wasn't anything else worth bitching about.

I thought IT people were really well paid???? Must be wrong!!

Having taken the time to go and speak with the AA on several occasions I have no concerns. Those most against the AA are those that have never taken the opportunity to speak with them about their agenda and plans, and rely on hearsay.

StoneY, there are always going to be unhappy people. All you can do is proceed with doing what you feel is best, and make sure you take care of yourself, your health, and those that are close to you.

Generalise much?

I've also spoken to them in the context of the Bikoi and the discussions were unusable in a journalistic sense because they were inflammatory in the extreme and a certain chap with the initials MN thought it was high time motorcycles were banned.

The AA have consistently let bikers down both in a real sense (not responding to call outs for AA members having issues with bikes) and in the sense of helping to develop roading policy that includes motorcycles.

I actually find your blithe attitude and inability to acknowledge anyone else's opinions, feelings, experiences or facts that are at odds with your own jolly annoying Mr D'Ath. What ever sunny field you woke up in isn't necessarily the experience of the bloke who just pushed a bike 12kms because the AA wouldn't honour their contract.

From a policy perspective, the inability of the AA to create an inclusive policy for all road users does not bode well for their participation in the MSL. Their approach around the recent plight of motorcyclists has always been that everything the Government says about bikes is true, along with wholeheartedly buying into the concept of making motorcyclists pay for their injuries, rehab and funerals despite no other "accounts" being singled out.

Thats is certainly the impression that I got when I made complaints about the misleading statements made on behalf of the AA. I hope the new guy is able to change that, but I wouldn't bet on it.
