Minutes from BRONZ meeting with ACC minister on safety and levy reduction

[RDJ]

They are thieves. They cloak their theft with socialist principles. They are the political equivalent of what the Toilet Duck was designed to remove from the Bowl of Society.

[Voltaire]

MAG are doing a big protest ride on 18th July for every biker that wants to have their voice heard so if you want to go along you will find all the details on Facebook

Pinching Tui's add and disrupting people going about their business....

What we will be doing in the Event will be legal, but will disruptive. We need to get noticed and show we are not happy with the unfair ACC levy towards motorcyclists.
So come along and join us.

What next...Golfers complaining about green fees.....

I'd get her and Jacinda Adern working together on something.

Marks out of ten? I'd give them both 1.

[RDJ]

I would take them out of the equation entirely, based on both the extreme unlikelihood that they could produce a result positive in terms of global utility, and because there are some combinations that are just two vomitious to contemplate. And I freely admit, this is an ad hominem (more accurately, ad feminem) argument. Yet despite being so, not entirely inaccurate.

No idea what MAG is to be honest,was going to search but then saw the Facebook thing and well...

That is just not the attitude we expect from a bloke of your maturity and sensibility - you should have become very excited and, possibly, emotional at the very thought that you had to interact with a FaceBook account...

quick, someone pass me the puking bucket...

MAG = Mount Albert Grammar

[Berries]

Facebook can fuck off. Sorry Fat Max, I like you as a pork pie brother from the mother country, but I don't Facebook so I have no idea what the protest is about. if you come on here tell us about it, or post a link, but don't tell us that the info is on FB because you might as well not bother.



Here's one I made earier..........

MAG = Mount Albert Grammar

It is MAGS
Mt Albert Grammar School.

Did you go there?
I did in the early 1980's and this guy was my 3rd form maths teacher.

This is what MAG have put on the Facebook page:

Get off your arse, and help us to help you fight for fair ACC levies. We have a major event up our sleeves, Auckland based, and WE NEED YOU TO MAKE AN IMPACT!

What we will be doing in the Event will be legal, but will disruptive. We need to get noticed and show we are not happy with the unfair ACC levy towards motorcyclists.
So come along and join us.


Any questions, please message MAG committee via our page or email us on info@magnz.org, or phone / text us 022 649 6917.

I suppose a text or email will tell you time and location but as far as I know its the 18th July.

Looks like they are really stepping up, good on em I reckon

Hey matey, good on you for doing this! However, I feel flogging a dead horse might apply when you see the response to this post.

I actually did a hunt earlier today, looked at both the "OMFG We dont DO IDIOTBOOK" Facebook page, and the MAG website. Nowhere does it state what is planned, nor what MAG is trying to achieve. I dont want to knock them, but asking someone to email them for information about a protest is always going to be a fail in my book.

Sad. Rego on hold here...

[Fatt Max]

Just getting the word out

[Voltaire]

Yes, agree with Mom, I'm not a Facebook fan but that's the platform some of the bike crowds I like are on.....

Instead of lots of splinter bike groups one large one would be better. Bureaucrats have all day every day paid to say no, everyone else does it in their spare time.


Jumping up and down and making noise is good for a day but not for the long haul.

But hey, have fun, but don't expect Niki Kaye to say " you guys are right, lets drop the ACC component to the same as cars"

If we want our bike reg to be lowered to the price of cars all we need to do is sell them and buy one of those 3 wheel Yamaha Scooters and we will then be as safe as being in a car having 3 wheels or maybe attaching a side car would qualify for car reg too.

Gawd your posts are hard to read. Is Engrish a second language?

in 7 more years you CB 750 turns 40 and automatically becomes safer to ride as the Rego will be about $80 in todays money. My Norton Commando has safety features like mostly sitting in the garage, and anti lock decelerators
