They actually show where it should be displayed which is good, because everyone had different ideas where about wof/rego should be put on the bike.

ps. Good that they edited "enf is enf part" ay steven lol... :spanking:

A really good result - and the world's most famous Zeal...

The council looked like the inflexible, bureaucratic twats that they are (who were only shamed into 'reasonableness' by media attention rather than resolving a genuine admin error).

I laffed and larfed and laughed at the end segment. Priceless.

I'll be emailing Mr Tomlinson to see if my case is an 'administrative error' and pointing out the strong likelihood that they will loose based on High Court precedent (and waste ratepayers' money doing it).

Unfortunately, I suffer from a lack of time and no interwebby at home.

Will keep y'all posted.

who the hell is going to put a WOF on the windshield of a bike! both of mine are screwed onto back of number plate, and that is where the motobike shop put them!

Good on ya for sticking to your guns and fighting it, cause that is just pathetic! :2guns:

on my old viffer i had the wof holder bolted to the wingmirror mount, but really the "normal" place is by the number plate

but then again since when did a beurocracy adhere to common sense and best practice? i'll be sticking them at the back unless the front becomes convienient spot again.

The windscreen is a bit off idea, i agree. I'm guessing you would have to put one of those plastic sieves i got on my bike atm with wof and rego, wouldnt you have to drill a hole through your windscreen though? :blank:

As has been noted, no motorcycle has a legal windscreen (just as well, because if we did it would have to have windscreen wipers and washers too.) we have a "wind deflector". So no bike can have its WoF mounted on the windscreen

However I do have von Klunken's on the wind deflector. But it is an unusually large wind deflector. I just stick it on with one of those "sticky round the edges" plastic covers that AA have for free.

:doh: That's true. It is pretty sad that stuff like that isnt specified like it is for cars. It gives everyone a lot of room to exploit it or be creative, however you would call it.

Well, I would disagree. If the law specified it, they would be bound to write some rule that a significant proportion of bikes could not easily comply with.

The reality is that bikes have far fewer places for such things than cars, and the greatly variable characteristics of bike design mean that what will be practical on one model will be difficult on another.

The law , quite sensibly, requires that it be "displayed" and readily visible. That should be enough. If the stickers can be espied with a few seconds looking I think no-one has a right to object.

on my xs, it had a wof and rego mounted on a swing-out-able bit behind the plate, but it'd sit behind the plate unless you moved it.

So i moved it to 'the side' of the bike, right by the motorbike

Here is a square diagram:
rego | | wof

I remember I came up to a cop stop, they were checking rego's it seemed, and they just asked "wheres your rego", and looked at it when i pointed in roughly the direction. Didn't have to specify it, just pointed to a side and tehy looked, and went "k, you can go".

:P

But I've seen Goldwings with a windscreen wiper.....

I know. I have serious considered one for the BMW. The only thing that stopped me was the problem of adapting it to the electric blade.

good on ya boys! caught the rerun over the weekend. well done all of you! loved the bit at the end with that jerk missing another notch in his belt, lmfao.

rego here is below the plate, and wof is bolted behind the plate. the bottom part of the wof holder is clearly visible if you look for it a tad.
