It's not a good effort. Stop encouraging them!
It was a half arsed piss poorly organised protest, out side an empty fucken building.
Whip it, whip it good!
No planning, no thought to timing, no publicity...
No SUPPORT!
Shame...
Waste of an opportunity...

Yep and god help us if someone in the beehive logs into kb and sees only about 30% are National voters.
Watching the news I wasn't sue about joining the newer vehicle safety rating thing. The last thing want is the boffins looking at hard data and seeing the monster power increases over last 15 years.
"Oh it has a switchable ignition map cause its a bone crippling accident monster when set to full power"
And they need to stick to a core message of we are paying too much. Don't get into the crybaby nonsense that we are discriminated because a few cagers can't tell the difference between ordinary biker and a 1%, especially when half of us ride just as crazy lol

Been the case for a while now. Apparently ACC was in such a loss position they HAD to screw Bikers in NZ?
The spin surrounding this issue was astounding. Some of us tried really hard to educate people to the bullshit that was being spouted.
We failed to generate enough support to continue.
A few voices in the wilderness were useless.
At least I can say I tried...

Ya know? All I see you do is flap your 'metaphorical lips' in here about anything and everything,,,,, the last keyboard warrior!!!
For once get off YOUR arse and actually DO something instead of whining and berating......

Well Drew thats what exactly we got when we really tried to get bikers united instead of what was needed ie positive practical input and bums on bike seats? Maybe you should get off your ass and actually do something?
True Mom Their own worst enemies. We did try but Same old same old on here still happening?
This half arsed badly organised protest still made the news, with only 100 bikes, on a day some fucktard shot two people dead.
If we all had of actually got on our bikes it may have sent a shit load stronger message of numbers and passion, even if that message was only that we are angry watch this space. But instead i read post after post from knockers and naysayers. Even though the ACC gap just got a shit load wider.
Buggered if I'm putting my hand up again to waste my valuable time and risk being possibly arrested on protests when no else gives a flying fuck.
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '

If for no other reason not to go, my bike has no reg or wof. Should I still have gone?

Sadly in 40 years of motorcycling both here and UK, apathy or probably more accurately; 'I'm a bad ass, individual biker, and I do what I want; no fucker's gonna tell me to protest, because!!' has always been the Achilles heel.
Am I an individual? Hell yes, I am probably one of the most 'non social' people out there, maybe that's a common personality trait for many of us? Certainly seems that getting people who are supposedly 'passionate' about their riding to have a common purpose, is next to impossible.
It's much more 'individual' to just spew out diatribe, and knock shit, 'just because'
. I will admit I think that it was the wrong time of year (parliament out of session/election) but I also 'get it' that the organisers believed a 'quick response' was needed.
The likes of Mr Rebel (akzle and Co) will be the ones sitting in a bar in their dotage spouting, "I was a hard arsed rebel biker", when motorcycles are one day 'legalised off the road'. I'm not a 'hard arsed rebel biker', and if there was a god, I'd thank him for that, I'm a MOTORCYCLIST pure and simple. I ride every day, every season, for commute, transport, pleasure and touring.
I'll suggest this again, maybe we need to follow the example MAG in the UK used for the Magna Carta rally (leg protector law) back in the 1980's. Hold a 'LONG' weekend Rally and do the protest ride on the SUNDAY arvo...??
