WTF, new rego costs!

If only they would off balance the ACC levy with the fact we do not wear the road out like the cages do....

how about we assasinate the prime minister, not that it will work because its not very hard to replace him. fly a plane into the bee hive maybe?

what we need to do is tell the government up yours. but all at the same time

Please someone tell me I am horribly mistaken and being a flippin idiot but, it looks to me like it now costs $310 to register a scooter for 12 mths FFS.

I guess your going to sell your bike then? With the price of petrol the way that it is, I would have thought that amount more was nothing. Plus with the shi-art that ACC is in, one should be thankful that the govt has not said to tripple the cost of doing anything dangerious!

After reading that dribble it might be a matter of time until it is trippled.

Glad I don't have to worry about mine till May next year.

Ohhh assasinate John Key - well the guy from Qmoto doesn't seem to mind taking a fall so we could put Mr. Key on the back - with no gear, and the guy from Qmoto can just high-side the bike and do some more flips like he did the other day!

I'd love to see us crashing less.

Fwiw transact (LTSA's online transaction website) is still only charging $90/year for MOPED rego. Note i said MOPED (Not Motorcycle, BIG DIFFERENCE).

I bet that moped crashes are included in the stats for NZ motorcycle crashes.

Yep they are, Better still there is a breakdown of them. Just under 20% are under 50cc, the same % for up to 250, 25% up to 750 and 35% are 750cc+. (approx's from 2007 data as found here: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...4&postcount=62 )

I hate to think what the cost is going to be next year

Code:

	
Road fatalities in New Zealand as at Monday, 10 August 2009
             Year from 1 Jan     12 months to 10/08
               2008     2009     2008    2009 

Drivers         100      127     182     190
	
Passengers      71         72    120    105 	

MC Riders        23        28     37	    53

MC Pillions       1        -      4       2

The part that is most unfair is how all bikes over 61cc are put into the same category. How the fuck can those fucking retards justify charging the same fucking cost for vehicle licensing for a Honda C90 and a Hayabusa?
