WIMA Annual National Rally and AGM 13 - 15 November

Thanks to all who attended our rally at Camp Rangi Woods, Pohangina Valley, Manawatu. A good time was had by all.

Photos still coming soon!

BIKOI09 was a historic event - Tuesday 17 November 2009

Over 5000 motorcycles of all descriptions joined the convoy to ride in and we estimate another 1000 or so went straight to Parliament. The stadium concourse was literally full of motorcycles and it was both the biggest and the most peaceful protest Parliament has ever seen.

We need to protest - as a nation - what ACC is doing.
