    Rego exempt: 50,630 (38%)
    Unlicensed or expired: 13,103 (10%)

    ACC could probably learn something from the Laffer curve.

    I just got my first $150 fine after more than 5 years of running my two road legal bikes with exempt rego's, having saved over $5,000 in the process.

    Can the Police see this and ask for monies' back for the Government from your statement?

    Well it's something that's been mooted since the rego increases. As the rego went up, less would pay.

    However, basic stats are just that. Some people will have one rego'd motorcycle, which means 100% rego rate for them as an individual. Then others would have 5, 10, how ever many bikes (my boss has 6? and only 3 are probably live rego). There are various reasons for holding, off the road for restoration, not riding them all etc etc, along with, I'm riding but not paying.

    Easier when you only have one.

    I used to have 3 registered. With the cost of registration and a change of circumstances I normally only have 1 at a time registered.
    By my calculations they tried to stick me for an additional 2-300 per bike. Instead I now pay 600 less a year in registration.

    So from this pocket they get less money for the same kms. And without me taking a more appropriate bike on occasion.

    All the bikes I use are regoed, but some are ornaments, such as the Katana 1100 which has been on hold for 16 years because its an archaic pile of shit & only worth looking at, at best.

    They got to greedy and everyone voted with their feet and only registered what they rode or rode illegally.
    If its was the same as a car say $150 I'd register all mine just so I had a choice.
    You get greedy and everyone says fuck you :P

    That aside jeepers hasnt this good weather bought out floods and floods of half naked scooter riders???

    I equate it to the rip off 9 bucks for a drink in town. Everyone preloads or has drinks at home before they go out (even us old buggers).
    If the drinks where 5-6 bucks each you'd go in for the night and have a meal as well.
    Not just the last 1/2 of the night buy 1 drink to hold and listen to the band they paid for.
    Dont make sense??
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    Yes, precisely. The Law of Unintended Consequences strikes, again. Who'd have thunk it...

    This is true of both mechanical and humanoid Katanas. But. both types lack insight... I suspect we will have to suffer them a while longer.

    It's such a crap system.

    To top it off, there are 15 demerits for riding a bike while on hold.

    Joke, but not funny.

    So? Know two workshops that have dealer plates. Mind, it's fucken hard to get them first time these days. Used to be a piece of piss and just a renewal fee for the rest of time.
