would be good to see some big number on this poll, another weapon hopefully against ACC. would be great if we could get reduced costs for multiple vehicles

used to have 7 cars 2 bikes but got to expensive so sold nearly all of them just left with 2 bikes and two cars (actually rego is on hold on one....)

Thats why they will never put the ACC on fuel we will pay less:woohoo:, and they will never go for that:angry:.
They will add ACC to fuel and drop off some of their rego and we will get screwed over again.
Bikers we have dropped $200 off you're rego but now petrol is $2.50 per ltr:shutup:

Sorry I just don't trust them scumbags (the ones in the $200,000 BMW's)
Looks to me the extra rego we are paying= to cost of their BMW's!

2 cars and 2 bikes one on hold.(edit)

When did $80k fairmonts suddenly become beneath them again?

(Oh thats right, when JK was elected)

As far as I'm concerned he can afford his own fucking beemer if he wants one.

Agreed

I even agree with blackdog on this one and thos in the know will measure THAT statement on its historic merits - right is right and a 200k limo is just fucking wrong
65k standard commodore or falcon, big enough, flash enough and far cheaper to maintain ffs

I agree bad move, but based on quotes being thrown around - we'd need to have the contract fully disclosed in the 'public interest' to see the clauses..perhaps even an OIA request would do it?

(No, I'm not offering :p but shirley media would be onto it...?)

I hear rumours there are penalties or litigation promised if the contract is not fullfilled, I also hear there's an opt out clause..

Who knows.. only the facts will spell it out.. sorry to take off topic..

i have 2 bikes and 2 cars - would drop to one car but the 4wd is too exspensive to run. might be about to add a third bike - not going to reg them all for 12 months tho. probably drop my car when my daughter is old enough to get to school herself

my partner has 2 cars - a cheap run about for work and a ute

too much $$$ when u add insurance as well

No mention of trailers but I guess the ACC on them is minimal although it does add up!

We have 1 car a light (Diesel 4x4) truck, a trailer and a motorbike!

The bike, the truck and trailer are for our hobbies fitness, health and general quality of life!

The car is essential but the overall costs associated with the latter three items is crippling.

Politicians constantly badger the electorate about saving and preparing for your retirement.

We did all that to the best of our ability, only to have repeated (unelected, self selected MMP) governments devalue our savings, investments and purchasing power like, Shylock on steroids!

Whatever action you take, if you follow the instructions of the MP's you are shagged and if you do your own thing they will shag you anyway! :yes:

I have vored but its pretty meaningless i.e.less everyone honestly say how many people use the vehicle (including your kids)

eg. if you have 2 cars and 1 bike but your partner and kids use them its not the same as a single person who has 2 cars and 1 bike. (I asume this is in comparison with a person based levy)

Four vehicles in the family, two bikes one car and a van. One bike is on hold until further notice so effectively paying for three.

True, they inherited it but they now own it, like when you buy something unconditionally!

Can't understand why they allowed it to continue under current situation, bad advice perhaps or contractually committed by the previous government!

Checkmate to Labour on that one I suppose! ( :o National)

No.

A motor vehicle lease is usually for 3 years. I doubt very much that 'the reds' could guarantee anything beyond that.

Any current decisions are squarely on the shoulders of 'TPTB' (I fucking hate anagrams BTW)

16th February 2011, 17:54

Yeah, I presumed numbers based on family (household) unit (although I clicked the wrong bloody option in the poll). Two bikes, four cars, and a trailer. Keeping track of WOFs and Regos is a nightmare.

I went with the more than 2 bikes and more than 2 cars and thats just me.
We as a family have 4 cars,4 bikes,2 quads,3 trailers, a light truck, a diesel hilux and a camper bus. Mind you there are 4 of us.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think the decision at present belongs to the current government.

Labour directed and sanctioned, through Internal Affairs, a contract to be signed for a nine year roll over. If Govt (regardless of the party) breech those there are serious financial penalties. I would suggest around the same value as the contract period.

16th February 2011, 18:25

I cut back from 4 or more cars and 3 bikes to 2 cars and one bike,and one of those cars is a freebee that I can't sell,so have to run it into the ground,otherwise it would be one car.

I'm happy to be back on one bike,I've gone back to my '70's roots,and made one bike to do it all.

With the $1.8billion more than projected over the last 6 months made by ACC, does there really need to be a big increase across the board? Not saying it wouldn't happen, but does it need to happen?

Cars are for transport, unless our Govt. feel the need to show off to others around the world whats wrong with a fleet of Mondeos even? What a waste of valuable revenue on the cars, fuel etc... I have an idea, one good second hand Rolls Royce to pick up Hillary Clinton from the Airport and put all the govt. muppets on.... Motorbikes and scooters...:innocent:

Blame the previous Govt.....:facepalm: It was the Labrats that signed the contract!

Does it matter? wrong is wrong regardless of who signed the agreement both sides will happily use them when in power.

One levy for all, place the shortfall on Fuel

Interestingly, polling round the pollies this last two months, I have met EVERY acc spokesperson in oppostion and the ACC minister

All feel Fuel would be a good way to go, the opposition crews say they are committed to returning to Woodhouse principles and placing all required fallout funding onto Fuel.
In an election year that's a highly relevant fact to be known......

Hmm, my 67 cost me the same as the other cages, doing the math, 1967, hmm, older than 40 years...

Edit, forgot to add, 1 x pissed off V8, 1 x mild V8, 1 x pissed off big block V8, 1 x non functional V8 (which runs 9mpg when it did run...) and the mighty 1.6 litre Wagoon. Which pulls the chicks. And the bikes (it's the only one with a tow bar). How many bikes? Well, enough, almost. When is enough, enough? How much power becomes too much? Why are all the beautiful girls ugly on the inside? Are all the ugly girls beautiful on the inside? Is Inner Beauty like ZXRider says poetically - when it's in-her, it's beauty!

We get taxed on petrol. We pay GST on petrol. We already pay income tax. So petrol is triple taxed. Sounds like a fucking scam to me. In the US, the gang-sta's ride around in pimped out BMW 7 series - it's the way you can tell crooks from honest folk... Ahem...

Its a 2006 Honda Civic - same as the standard car. Looks great, sounds like a sewing machine. My bike has the same size engine at 1300cc. The electric motor adds enough spunk to take it up to an 1800cc equivalent.

It's shit to ride in town with a long 1st gear and no power down low. It's rubbish on gas too. I've had a heater on the back seat, 2 doz on the tank and my back pack full of misc stuff, so carrying things isn't really an issue..

But I want something that is fun when I get out of town.. Seeing as how I don't have enough manners to get a big bike and keep my license, can't really justify the expense of a car as well, I'm sticking with the status quo for the foreseeable..

No problemo, ride the bike to work in stupid 2 degree temperatures with summer gear whoop whoop. Well that was good while it lasted (all of two weeks) I'm now without a fecking bike and I've got fecking nothing. Bike's getting fixed from an off feck it all.

mossy1200

22nd July 2014, 20:31

pussy.

Own =/= rego.

Ride equals risk (acc). Owning the licence that enables the ability to perform the risk should be the defining factor. Don't want to ride then put licence on hold rather than rego etc. Fall of bike while licence on hold or no licence pay to get yourself medicated.

My way doesn't make you pay for the risk factor several times over.
