These guys ain't my cup of tea, but their motives (on this initiative anyway) are good, any support can't be bad.

And an excuse to ride through City traffic, have a chin wag with some of the like minded and a latte with some mates.

They aren't my cup of tea either but I'll consider joining them for the protest...
It's been many a year since I've been on the steps of Parliament protesting, probably back in the days of the MRAA.

While they are at it, maybe they can also protest the discriminatory Motorcycle Safety Levy which, (this year) is now up to $80.
As of the 1st July 2022, they had $27,672,000 sitting in this fund, unused... :||||
I wonder how much is sitting there now?
Hard to justify continuing this "tax" in the name of safety when it's actually not being used... :well
