$522.96 - a complete bargain and i only wish I could pay more

[HenryDorsetCase]

thats for 12 months rego for the Street Triple.

Fucking marvellous. Plus another $33 for the WOF (which I dont begrudge) and call it just over a hundy for a four litre of oil, a filter and washer. And the old girl will need new shoes this year (Metzeler or Rosso Corsa).

Its an expensive pastime is wha I'm saying. Especially since I did like 2500 km last year.

[Scubbo]

reg it as a farm plow, sorted.

[pritch]

Yeah I got the letter in the mail last week. Think I'll just pay six months this time.

[Akzle]

hahahaha. pay jews.

[Gremlin]

I never pay for a year. If the bike is written off / stolen / something, no money back. Doing too often is a pain, so usually 6 months. WOFs are $50 at VTNZ, dealer is $45.

Try riding more. At one point I was wearing through sets of tyres in about 2-3 months (I never think of tyres as "I'll need them this year"), one after another. One set lasted less than a calendar month. Add in services, yeah, it got real expensive.

If you want value for your rego, ride more :D

The rego disparity has become a little more ridiculous because my big 2+ ton van is $86 a year... it's such a small amount it's a waste of time to buy less than a year.

[Mike.Gayner]

Outstanding licensing fees are refundable if the vehicle is written off.

[Bassmatt]

I never pay for a year. If the bike is written off / stolen / something, no money back.

Yeah, thats not right. I've just had a refund for a written off bike.

[Swoop]

You registered your bike?

A novel concept. When did this begin?

[sidecar bob]

Try owning a launch, or flying planes.
$522 gets you fuck all.

[EJK]

Yeah! Taxation is theft!

[YellowDog]

I usually leave it until November and just get six months, but this year I have a charity ride in Sept.

If I just gave 2 months of the rego money to the charity, it might be the very best win-win :yes:

[AllanB]

Outstanding licensing fees are refundable if the vehicle is written off.

Yeah but your insurance company takes ownership when they write it off and get this money back - not the rider.


I drip feed it too.

Tyres - Maybe try the new Ross III I spooned a Rosso II on the rear (replacing Rosso Corsa) and I'm very happy with it so far and the III is meant to be superior.

Keep a eye on Avon Suzuki as well - they usually have a bulk purchase tyre deal on the go.

2,500 kms for the year. You must take more time to enjoy yourself.

[avimistry]

For 'em crazy a#% rego rates, at least give us better roads and less inflamed motorcycle (and related products) prices! My solutions to the ginormous rego rates are:

1) Undertaking additional training gets you discounts on rego for that year
2) For every acc/insurance claim-free year, you get compounded discounts on rego.

Note: the above might have been mentioned before, so I don't take sole claim to them. :D

[mossy1200]

I got a bargain 2 regos for $1044 and 2,500km total. Time spent out of out of earshot of wife priceless.

I think my back tire is $520 odd including fitting.
But if I walked 2500km I would eat food and wear out shoes worth more.

[F5 Dave]

There you go HDC, just be glad you don'thave to feed a Mossy.

yeah its horendous the rego i think if you got 2 bikes its crazy should be one fee per licence so out on your bike keyed into your

ownership of course, i think classic bikes are cheaper or has that changed too .

[actungbaby]

Yeah I got the letter in the mail last week. Think I'll just pay six months this time.

I was paying my by the month on the car mate ate one stage more expensive but you do what u must.

[actungbaby]

yeah thats why ones on tm are always de regestered well that ownership isssues you dont want somones eles fines learn that one hard

way this year. over grand in fines for car i got 850.00 for cant blelive so dumb

[jim.cox]

I used to put a year's rego on the Ducati as my birthday present to myself

But since it has gone up, I worked out that it was costing me around around $50 a ride - an absolute ripoff

So now a just keep her WoF'ed and run the risk

Its not long until she is eligable for the "classic" registration - I'll reconsider then

I do keep the DRZ up to date with both reg and wof

[Oakie]

yeah its horendous the rego i think if you got 2 bikes its crazy should be one fee per licence . Trouble with that though is that levies would have to go up. They still need X amount of money to cover accidents and if you're dividing that amount by the number of licence holders instead of the number of vehicles then it's a higher pro rata rate. Mate.

Just occured to me too though that it would be unfair on another level. Mrs Oakie and I have a car. Should we pay the same amount each as a single person with one car? When you get down to that level, levying by the licence holder is unworkable if your trying to provide a fair system.

[MrMarko]

I'm paying the highest bracket on 4 cars due to their classification...

At least the bike needs a rebuild so is on hold.... oh... :facepalm:

[Voltaire]

yeah its horendous the rego i think if you got 2 bikes its crazy should be one fee per licence so out on your bike keyed into your

[jasonu]

. They still need X amount of money to cover accidents .

But the ACC already gets more than X and make a huge profit every year?
Face it folks, you motorcycle types are all getting it right up the jacksie from the ACC every time you pay your rego.

How can you say that, cars are under $200 a year now and bikes nearly $600, that's how no blame ACC works. When driverless cars come in will they have riderless bikes?

[nerrrd]

$80 a year I pay on my 74 BMW.

Yeah, while I congratulate you on only having to pay that much (gnashing of teeth) I never really understood why that is. Classic bikes somehow soften the road / lamp posts / fences as they pass by? I guess it was a simpler time back then lol, so maybe you only get medical care commensurate with the age of the bike??


When driverless cars come in...

...(and don't hold your breath on that one) it will be the end of private vehicle ownership anyway. Suck on that, ACC!

[FJRider]

Yeah but your insurance company takes ownership when they write it off and get this money back - not the rider.

Those insured should get the price of their bike back (or close to at least). The uninsured get the joy of remaining rego refunded.

Lucky them ... eh <_<

[Cosmik de Bris]

ACC should be applied to the owner not the vehicle, after all you can only drive one at a time. That would seem to me to be far fairer.

[WristTwister]

A primary registration fee for the owner and a smaller fee per vehicle registered would make sense for most people, as many people have bikes and cars ie: bike riders can own more than one vehicle, but only use one at a time.

[Voltaire]

Its because the VCC ( Vintage Car Club) is a large organization that has the resources to successfully petition Govt and get things approved Vs social media whining, park ups in Ponsonby, posting up helmet cams of non indicating vehicles whilst lane splitting and so on.:msn-wink:
The AA and the NZMCA ( Campervan Association) are also ones that do this.
Also get good deals on insurance thru the VCC.

[Mike.Gayner]

Or it's because ACC uses acturial adjustments to determine rates, and it turns out that 99.9999% of classic bikes sit in a garage and do nothing 364 days a year.

[jasonu]

That sounds a bit anti-Jewish. How did axle get hold of your login details?:rolleyes:

It doesn't matter how many, or what type of vehicle the individual has.
That person has been examined and "permitted" to use that type of vehicle. The cost should be on the "licence" and not on the vehicle.

Should you pay a petrol tax/levy and a licence tax/levy to operate your lawn mower, or is the operator the "risk factor"?

[F5 Dave]

No, they are wanting bikeless riders.
I think you'll find I was making the same point. Please stop riding rather than some autopilot device.

And this rubbish about end of private ownership when driverless cars come in. People will look back and laugh at the prophets in the same way as the paperless office didn't happen as it ignores convenience and humannature.

Wake up folks and smell the roses...

The actual licence fee for me to ride my 650cc bike on the road is $24.50! The ACC levy is $397.18 plus ACC Safety Lee of $25: a total going to ACC of $422.18.

If you consider the ACC levy [$397.18] as accident insurance then I think we are getting a good deal. I challenge anyone on here to come up with an accident insurance policy that is as comprehensive as that which ACC provides - including the payment of wages/salary component - for less than $400 a year, especially when you start talking about riding a motorcycle.

Yes, we pay it for each vehicle. So I pay $397.18 plus $297.91 [400cc bike] plus $84.98 for a car which is a total of $780.07. This is still less than what my health insurance costs per year and that policy is not going to deal with any accident I may suffer.

Those of you who are reading USA motorbike forums will have seen, no doubt, the threads about some rider who has had an accident and the members are fund raising to help pay the rider's hospital bills. We could do away with ACC and some of us could be in that position - how would you feel about that?

ACC may not be the best - there are problems with it - but it is certainly better than many of the alternatives.

[Voltaire]

If you were riding/driving an unregistered vehicle would they leave you on the side of the road or do the lovely taxpayers pick up the tab?

[Mike.Gayner]

ACC cover ALL accidents of ANY type, by ANYONE in the country, including visitors, unemployed, children etc.

ACC is a fantastic and comprehensive accident insurance scheme, but yes it's imperfect, particularly as far as raising funds. The ACC levy on vehicle registration is really a "premium" in the traditional sense, and I'm not sure how you'd realistically get around the fact that some people shirk the law, if you want to maintain a good universal healthcare system (which we definitely do).

[Moi]

You asking about the USA situation?

My understanding - and I stand to be corrected on this - is that if you have a road accident you will be given emergency medical care and very basic care. As for anything else, if you have no medical insurance then you have to pay for it yourself. The quality of care and rehabilitation depends on the quality of your medical insurance.

+1

Perhaps... if you drive/ride an unlicenced vehicle/bike and are involved in an accident, then ACC will cover the costs, perhaps with exceptions such as wages, and then when you are feeling better they take you to court to recover costs. That might make a few people's eye water...

By law they must provide proper and adequate care. They can't just put a bandaid on your leaky skull and kick you out because you don't have insurance.
After the fact they WILL come after you, your house and all your shit.

It's not rubbish, dammit! Well, maybe I overstated it a little, but for the average city-dweller there'll be no point in 'owning' a driverless car. Much better to subscribe to a service like 'uber' which will send a car to them on request, take them where they want to go for a minimal charge, then bugger off. Don't have to worry about parking, garages, maintenance, keeping the car's OS up to date (which will be quite important I'm thinking) etc. That sounds like it would appeal to most people's human nature.

On top of that, the safest way to integrate driverless cars into traffic will be to gradually remove the still-being-driven cars from the software equation. You know, by increasing ACC levies for the owner's of 'dangerous' self-driven cars, for example.


ACC is a fantastic and comprehensive accident insurance scheme...

If it's insurance, where's my massive no claims bonus?? Methinks it's only an 'insurance' scheme when it suits the suits paid massive amounts to run it.

Wonder how much money the country would have saved if the scheme had been allowed to continue unchanged in it's original form. Quite 'disruptive' in it's day, and look how that turned out.

[Maha]

I create my own 'No Claims Bonus' by having the rego on hold for as long as I can get away with it. ACC don't actually pay me the bonus, they just don't receive it.

Yes if you live in the cbd no car needed. For the other 99% we'll all decide we want to go to work at the same time. Hey maybe we should all take public transport like we don't now.

[Night Falcon]

I've gotten way more from ACC than I'll ever pay out to them.....unfortunately :facepalm:


I think what we pay is fair, my only beef is with pushbikers...no rego or WOF and they get their own lanes for peddlin down, and they wear lycra

Other than the Lyca I think its great that they make lanes for pushbikes, each one takes a phone fiddlin', knob twiddlin' Cager off the road :Punk:, in fact instead of a fine they should impound cars for a month and give them pushbikes.

yeah ... I had that thought too ...


How much would you pay for an insurance plan that (on a no-fault basis):

Pays 80% of your salary until you are ready to return to work

Pays all medical bills following an accident. (Including ambulance/helicopter rescue, any surgery, all hospital bills.)

Will pay for any house repairs should you be disabled following the accident (i.e. build wheelchair ramps, modify kitchen, bathroom (etc)

Will pay for wheelchair and support people if needed following an accident (including house cleaners)

Will pay for retraining fees if you are no longer able to do your job as a result of an accident.

Will pay for 24-hour care if you need it as a result of an accident.

Go to an insurance company and ask how much you would have to pay.

thats for 12 months rego for the Street Triple.

Fucking marvellous. Plus another $33 for the WOF (which I dont begrudge) and call it just over a hundy for a four litre of oil, a filter and washer. And the old girl will need new shoes this year (Metzeler or Rosso Corsa).

Its an expensive pastime is wha I'm saying. Especially since I did like 2500 km last year.

Think of it this way, you could buy two sessions with a hooker for that, but how many rides in a year can you get for $522.96? LOL

Think of it this way, you could buy two sessions with a hooker for that, but how many rides in a year can you get for $522.96? LOL

Y'all are using some expensive hookers, son. All I'm sayin.

My usual hookers I would get 50 goes for $500. Plus bonus crabs and syphilis

Well just went to extend my rego hold on the GSXR (its been too cold to get any meaningful work done in shed) before the current exemption runs out in October.
First the site says cant process my request, second attempt says as its already on hold I have to extend it at an LTSA agent..... oh well have to go give them 522 for the DR anyway....
Welcome to the technological age....

I got a bargain 2 regos for $1044 and 2,500km total. Time spent out of out of earshot of wife priceless.

I think my back tire is $520 odd including fitting.
But if I walked 2500km I would eat food and wear out shoes worth more.

...And you would have been WALKING......

Funny how a little knowledge (even if it's just looked up) can make such a difference...

The fundraising efforts done by St John act as a top-up to Govt funding. The balance of Govt funding vs funds raised will vary according to who you get your info from...

[Mike.Gayner]

Nonsense, St John receive 80% of their funding from the government (between MOH and ACC).

ahhhhhh you are in correct, they get paid by acc to pick up accident victims whether it be sports accident or motor accident etc. St John is a very poorly run fuck up at the moment and those in charge need to be told to go find real jobs then they may actually get more volunteers to help out
