Bike WOF

[Floppy disk]

Folks, this might sound like a weird question, but it's not. :mellow:

I have this 2008 bike for almost a year now, and I know its WOF is on a yearly basis, and I looked and searched the bike but I can't find where the hell its WOF sticker is. :scratch: So I don't know when it is due for WOF renewal.

I am not panicking cause I know where my friend lives, but I was wondering how would I be able to tell when is its WOF due without having to bash my friend until he tells the truth. :bash: Is there an online service from NZTA or a number to call or something? :sherlock:

Cheers

Should be able to put the number plate into carjam.co.nz - should say when there

[Floppy disk]

Thanks man. I just found that the WOF is finishing in under a week. :doh:

Haha, better than finding out from an officer a week after...

[Milts]

I've always found the WOF sticker on the underside of the seat on my bikes... always seemed odd to me but meh.

Oddly enough ... not having a Wof is not an (the) offence. Not displaying a current WoF label is.

As many given a ticket by a Council parking warden for (and because of) this ... will testify ...

"Under the seat" is not displaying ... be warned ...

Grrrr, previous owner of the GSX750es or the place she did the WOF at stuck the WOF sticker under the seat! :facepalm:

[ducatilover]

I've had it under the seat too... bit odd.
Mine get mounted to the back of the number plate now though, easier to find etc.

I've still had police puzzle over where it is, when I've said its behind the plate.

When they do find it, they don't bother looking. They just ask me if it's all valid. <_<

Funny you said that. There was once a police check point for driver licenses near the University of Auckland. When I reached my turn they asked me "You have a license and all is in order ey?" I said "yes" and they said "thank you. Have a nice day". I think they thought of the hustle to get the gloves off and get into my wallet etc. LoL

Had an occasion where I had just had the bike WOF'd but when the police checked behind the plate he said it was expired but he had the forethought to also check the other side where he found the current WOF. He let me off but I did find out at that point that it is illegal to display multiple WOfs.

I've been ticketed (in absence) before by a warden for not displaying my wof, ironicly it was clear as day on the side of my bike.

But tell you what, it was a nightmare getting them to drop the ticket, when I wrote in they sided with the warden, it took several phone calls and ultimately a letter telling them that there's no way in hell I was paying a ticket because the half witted parking warden had the inability to spot a clearly placed sticker.

When they backed down they had the nerve to mention in the letter that I needed to go to greater effort to ensure the visibility of my wof sticker, short of a neon sign pointing to it, I'm fairly sure it's as good as it gets!

[SMOKEU]

I usually expect them to be on the swingarm, windscreen, or behind the license plate.

Their search was for drunks ... cars have labels in their faces. Bikes they have to bend over to see the labels.

Most cops wont bend over for anybody ...

Thats because the sort of people who take these jobs are utter fuckwits who dont have an ounce of practical brain cells.

I wouldn't exactly use your words but I would agree that parking wardens are not the smartest people in town. Years back I worked for the City Council while at Uni and had the "chance" to deal with them. I came to conclude they are people who would struggle to find better jobs (or probably any other job). They are not very bright and since they have monthly quotas, they thrive to meet and exceed them sometimes through stupid things. I was even surprised to see them ticketing each other. There is no love in that business. LoL. I hope things have changed now...................:whistle:

Sorry I just tell it how it is

Give them some credit ... they can read and write (of sorts)

But that is as close as they will ever get ... to passing the police recruitment process ...

I'd love to see a parking warden get a parking ticket, that would make my day ahaha

Verdict: VTNZ is indeed the best place to go for a no-thrills WOF (thanks for the advices folks). I had a smooth run through their friendly process and the guy managed to find that my rear tire was fitted the wrong way (left side on the right and right is on the left). I couldn't believe my eyes.:shit: I was riding it that way for months and the bike went through service and the previous WOF unnoticed :angry:. I did notice the tire was a bit skiddy despite good threads but I thought it must be a Ninja "feature" :facepalm: I got it fixed at the mechanics and all was good to go after that. :Punk:

Erm.................isnt that a good thing?

Depends ... bending forward or backwards ?? ... and timing has a LOT to do with it ... :shifty:
