Motorcyclists rally against ACC changes

Hundreds of motorcyclists turned out in today to protest the Government's plan to raise ACC charges.

The bikers rallied in Auckland and Christchurch tooting horns and revving engines in a loud display of opposition to put up levies by as much as three times current levels.

The new levies are proposed in a controversial bill which also cuts back some ACC entitlements as the Government tries to bring under control huge deficits at the department.
