I have raised this before, Multi-bike Registration

[Voltaire]

Close. I'd add a glass of red and a coupla garlic cloves. Which reminds me, it's wine o' clock.

Hey....not bad off the top of my head in the middle of doing an asset report

Shariz? Originally I think an Iranian grape until about 1979 when they mysteriously pulled them all out

[rocketman1]

if each license is "regoed" instead of each bike , the total take will need to be the same ?The difference will be that most people will pay even more than they do now.And then there will be threads about paying to rego 3.5 bikes whilst they actually own only one.

The rider should pay for a rego licence, not too worried about ~$550? a year, its the other $550 i have to pay for the buike sitting in the shed.
Only the riders that crash and get fined regularly get demerit points etc pay an increase in licence fees. They Pay the 3 x$550 per year!!

[rocketman1]

Perhaps something like a 5-yearly rider WOF might be a good idea also?

I am not opposed to that idea, anything that keeps bikers alive and healthy is a good idea.

[rocketman1]

The problem with multi vehicles on one rego is groups of people getting together to defraud the system. It'd be almost overnight with tight families and the same for gangs... you'd get a guy out there 'owning' sixty bikes or cars for his patched mates. One rego. Awesome.

It'd be nice if they reduced classic for bikes to twenty years old + though.

Yeah thought about this, could be a problem but if you had to pay minimum rego for each bike, as well as rider licence fee, it may reduce the likelyhood of this happening.

nz is not interested in making bike ownership easy

on the contrary..

it is being discouraged

I agree with that, option is do away with ACC and make everyone pay medical insurance the govt would probably save heaps put the onus on the insurance companies and riders.

[rocketman1]

What about people with multiple cars?

I could insure 6 modern cars for the fee of one bike >600cc

[rocketman1]

The most realistic option to monitor and measure this would be more active tracking of bikes and riders.

Ie GPS units with codes which relate back to YOU and what bike you are on, what speed you are going.

You'll have to put in your creditcard when you get your license and you'll be automatically ticketed the instant you hit +4km over the limit.

AWESOME that sounds fucking rad lets make it happen nerds

Shhhh! The Minister might read this ,

[rocketman1]

The 40 year cheap rego is due to the lobbying of the Vintage Car Club, and probably a touch of the old boy network.

Unlikely to Government gives a toss about motorcycles or people with multiple vehicles.

At the end of the day is a bit of luxury having more than one means of transport so you just have to suck it up.

I've got a 'modern' 93 Ducati 900 and 83 BMW R80ST on full reg, I used to have them registered all year round now only during summer. Rest of year I only register a 42

year old BMW for about $70. I think they should base the rego on HP , all of mine have less than 70.

..........Its the old boy network I want to tap into... whats their Ph #

Your right that you can eat well for less.

We tried that Foodbag for a while, pretty good to start with but $190 a week for 5 meals for 4?
Some of the recipes are pretty good but some of them were pretty ordinary.
On the up side, I was able to get my two boys to do a meal each as it came with instructions.


What I was referring to was how many people claim " I can't cook" and buy some of those overpriced heat and eat meals at the supermarket or take away shit.


Crock Pot Stew.

1kg blade or chuck steak
Kidneys ( yum)
couple of carrots
some potatoes
Onion
Can chopped tomatoes
any other nearly past best by date veges in fridge.
oxo cube
soy sauce
Lea and Perrins
tble spoon flour
salt and pepper
If you have herb garden, oregano, rosemary, parsely
10 minutes prep
Dash of Tabasco if you like hot.
leave for day to cook
about $15- $20 for 4 and maybe lunch.

I do a good Lasagne too.

beef cheek works better, and is cheaper

The Govt will never make bike rego cheaper for multiple bikes, other than the 40 year old ones.

To change anything involves lots and lots of campaigning and lobbying, thats why the House always wins.


A nice IPA goes well with a stew...well anything really

Yeah Carbonnade Flamande has a bottle of beer in it but careful with the IPA, you don't want excessive hops in your stew or your dinner will be bitter.
Don't ask me how I know this.

From the stuff comments;
time fat people had a tax put on them I know so many fat people with back and ankel problems.
I would love to see the satistics around fat people on the benefits and acc


that's fair enough - smokers pay for their health issues (and more) via tax.
We pay more for rego because we are soft and squishy when we crash

why don't the fats get some sort of punishment too?

You mean like this?

I don't mind paying a registration fee for each vehicle but I do object to paying ACC on every vehicle. It is the driver or rider of the vehicle that should be charged. Rego is for the vehicle, ACC is for the operator.

I think we all feel the same, if not then most. However if it was done that way your ACC contribution would go up to cover the decreased revenue.
