Syd: Toll protest 26th June

PROTEST RIDE

MCC of NSW member clubs agreement last night.

"MOURNING THE TOLL"

June 26, 10 am, Hickson Road, The Rocks.

+---------------------------------------------+
| A FAIR GO FOR MOTORCYCLES |
| A TAG THAT WORKS & A TOLL THAT'S FAIR |
+---------------------------------------------+

This is a slow ride, a funeral procession, Mourning our Toll.
Wear an armband. Low level public inconvenience. Very High profile.

The purpose is to provide images for TV and ramp up the importance.
Toll issues will be won or lost in the press.
Make pollies worry about "what if we changed the time or the target?"

A show of strength. Be there. More detail as the Planners release it.

If you are certainly going to come, please email me at


Riders are happy to pay a toll
As long as the rate is fair
As long as we are not disadvantaged with fees or inappropriate technology or
forced to compromise safety.

CB equipped bikes needed.
Pillions with video cameras.
Pillions for sticker and pamphlet handouts
All over by 12:30
Media support from MCC of NSW

==============================

This is likely to be the first of several, as we negotiate with the toll
operators and the RTA to get a decent go for bikes. It will be a
marshalled disciplined ride, will leave dead on 10am, so be there by
latest 9:30 to have the route and method explained.

Note that the Cross City tunnel have stated that they will apply
processing fees for any bike whose tag doesn't work unless using
their tag. The other toll operators haven't said yea or nay yet.
