A question about rego.

[babysteps]

Hey team

As you are all aware a large portion of our Rego's is taken up but the ACC levy. My question is this......

I have 2 motorbikes, why do I have to pay the ACC levy on both rego's?

Secondly, is there any way around this?

Cheers

While we're at it:

- Why don't Harley riders wave to me?
- Can we start a KB wave?
- Shouldn't we start a debate about Religion?
- Aren't non-ATGATT people idiots?
- Is lane splitting legal?
- Where can I get some ice cream?

Short answer is No. Next time though, the search engine could prove fruitful.

[babysteps]

Thank you all for your constructive answers, now is there anyone out there who has anything positive to add?

Answer: Buy 2 Regos for 2 bikes, but make them last 2 years; or more if you don't rider when winter gets heavy.

Suspend one Rego and ride the other bike.

To change back, suspend the one being ridden and reinstate the other.

depending upon where you live, dont register your bike, just keep an uptodate WOF on it at all times and out the rego on hold.
I have only registered my bike twice in the past 5 years, both times were days I was stopped at a check point and given a ticket.
I reg the bike that day for three months, toook reciept of registration that day to police station, along with the ticket, they cancelled the ticket.
Thats called complying with enforcement . lol
Thus I have had 5 years riding for 6 mths rego.
This does not work for city dwellers an parking nazis will get you

There is a KB wave.

That sounds like a good idea. What about insurance though? If you have a WOF bike is obviously roadworthy but do you have to have REGO to get accident insurance?? That's the only reason I bother with it, otherwise would just risk getting pulled up.

Nope. Other way round. Must have WoF to get Rego.

If both your bikes were the same you would only need to register one and copy the plate.

You could then try and register them as cars.
you might have a hard time convincing the fine young gentlemen in blue that your car has only 2 wheels.

[varminter]

It's a tax, you're not supposed to avoid it, might as well ask for a refund for the days the car is left in the garage. Seems only fair for you fat cats that have more than one bike although I wouldn't think so if I had two.....or more<_<

Both bikes can be ridden on the road, and the law says they must both be registered. If you have a friend riding one of your bikes, would you expect them not to be covered by ACC?

The simple answer is only register one bike and don't ride the other on the road.

Yup, I think we have it fairly cheap here relative to some other countries. Some just load it onto the drivers licence fee yearly. Ask someone from Aussie or the UK and you will get the picture. ACC here has turned into a govt scam here. Don't think much of the levies go back to the ones who pay them.

There's no scam and any government would abolish ACC if they could. But in its place we'd have government workers compensation schemes, private insurance, court cases suing people, years and years of delay before you got a cent.....

NZ is admired internationally and I think only Denmark or Sweden have a similar system to ACC. Ozzies think we are lucky.

Yes. I'm positive you can't fuck with the system.

Listen here, you legal eagle whippersnapper. Prior to ACC, sure you had to sue. Even did it myself once, cos if I didn't he would have sued me. Pathetic system, but at least you had closeure. Now I feel all you have is a system, that is paying for your health aftercare, that was previously paid for in full by taxation. They have shifted the costs back to the victim for recompence for what was taken from them in the original accident ie ACC takes care of your health, but replacing what was taken from you damage wise is neglected. Beauracracy at it's finest in my opinion. The bean counters have removed so much that worked . 3rd party insurance used to be part of your registration levy. Then they fiddle with the gun laws. But hey why not stop Corporal punishment and hey why not lower the drinking age too.:clap:
