My number plate fell off.

[zeocen]

Well, it seems while riding on Sunday, I hit the sound barrier on my gpx, did a sonic boom and split my number plate clean in half.. leaving half on my bike and half somewhere in Port Waikato.

Thing is, the part that fell off also had my WOF and Rego on it, how do I go about getting those things back !? I'm pretty sure I can go to LTNZ and get a form for my number plate, but It only just hit me before that it had my wof and rego on it as well.

Also, what's the deal with being pulled over with half a number plate and no wof/rego? (Obviously the only places I'm going to be going are where I need to get all my stuff back).

Cheers ... :(

Post shop can print you a new Rego (when I lost mine they did it for free but I think it usually costs $2 or something?? lol!!)...
Warrant... I suspect you will have to just get a new one or go to the place that it was issued?? maybe they can help you with replacement?!... (not sure on the industry like rules etc... but im sure someone here does :))

Best of luck getting ya bits back...
I have lost my warrant (had it in my jacket for ages but no idea where it is now, has the old warrant on it still!, but it IS warranted!!) but I think its due again in mid sept so will just get new one n put that on... *cough*... 6 months with a warrant but it not being on my bike... :Oops:, my rego bracket thing fell off... but bike is registered till next year :clap:;) at least if I get pulled up they can check from cop car that rego is valid. (they cant check warrants however, so im told!)...
Edit: & just give me a ticket for 'failing to display'... Have the bracket at home, just havent screwed it back on

Number plate is about $9 and change, rego and warrant can be re-issued but for the warrant you need to go back to who issued it to you in the first place. Rego can be redone by post office/ltnz for about $2.
Good luck

Sorry to hijack this thread but....

The TR6C has one of the old gia normous square plates thats cracking to bits just like they all did. Can I get it replaced with a new shaped plate but keep my old rego?

Cheers

No, I dont think so unfortunatly Paul. I think if you wanted to keep your old rego, you need to get it done the same way as getting a personalised plate

How daft is that... But i assume i can get a new plate easy enough? How? Post shop? bring in the damaged one?

Yup, post shop or any LTNZ place.

Don't quote me on the above. Maybe the LTNZ guys know if there is a cheaper way to get your old rego plate remade or repaired?

VTNZ carry stock in most of their branches.

if you want to copy your old plate http://germannumberplates.com/
but it may take a little longer and not be worth the cost

Quoted for Pauls benefit as well :) Thanks for the info dude. Handy to know

just get a plate made up the size of the new ones cost little and still legal new plate just as easy to get at a cost of 9 bucks.

$9 is to get a premade plate and to hand yours in dude. If you want the same number, you need to have the plate remade which aint cheap

[Paul in NZ]

But the real question is - why can't i make my own plate???

[Max Preload]

Replacement plate, with license label - $8.55.

because you will get a ticket for not having a regulation plate

been tehre done that

however i did fight them in court and the charges were dropped

strange they never ticket e type jags with letters stuck to teh bonnet insteadd of a plate

on a tr6 why don't you just paint the numbers onto the numberplate fitting on the rear guard, its big enough

professionally done it would look good and nobody would question it unless you got some jobsworth out for his daily quota

and do what i did fight it in court, if every body questioned the plods the stupid leglistation would be thrown out
