WTF, new rego costs!

[imdying]

No reg - $200 fine.
No WoF - $200 fine.
Total fine - $400.

Pssh, I could get both of those twice over and still be saving money. I have full surgical cover, they can stick their ACC levy up their bum

[Squiggles]

just as likely as a 500hp Turbo 'busa? I think not pal.

Yer, a 500hp Turbo 'busa is unlikely to ever find itself on the road here in little old NZ...

[bogan]

Onyer electric bike bogan? Fill us in...

will chuck a thread up when shes going, later this month hopefully

[danchop]

one is a 03 gsxr1000 that ive owned since new and only done 14000kms,the only time ive either registered it or had a wof was the first initial time when it was new,im not paying that kind of shit for doing stuff all kms a year,5 odd years saving money from the pricks,if they bring in a user pays system similar to kms covered(like diesels),i will consider being legal

[HenryDorsetCase]

Thats frickin sick, when did that price hike happen?! Its more to rego a bike than a car now?

significantly more.

car drivers kill motorcyclists, and motorcyclists pay more? that shit don't seem right...

[HenryDorsetCase]

I just find it a bit fukn rich for that much of an increase. Wheres the AA when you need them to be b1tching and whining.

the AA are effectively the media relations division of LTSA. they have zero credibility when it comes to standing up for the rights of their members against government incursion of their rights. Remember the typical AA member is a brown cardie flat cap wearer, driving a ten year old Honda Accord and tsk tsking about how dangerous it is to exceed 100kph on the open road.

Advocacy comes from organisations like BRONZ. Support them instead of whinging on the internets.

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?

Apparently you dont have to be very bright to work in the gubbermint. Im sure that if asked they would say that if its got two wheels then its a motorcycle and if its got smaller wheels then its a moped. Just like how my wheelchair is actually classed as a pushchair. Its got two bigger wheels at the back and the little ones at the frount. I bet that when they started making those wheelchairs with the 3 wheels of equal sizes that the twats got confused and had a meltdown, ending in one person getting the blame and everyone in the beahive behaving like it was a kindy on that day...

You dont stop for the flashing lights when out on the gixxer then?

Yeah true, unless ghostrider goes on tour....

[unrealone]

I'm sorry to say guys but we'll be in for an even bigger shock next year. Can't say anymore though

C'mon. We can keep a secret!

it does make me feel a bit cautious when travelling by myself,i was stopped on one occassion at a checkpoint about 2006/07 and still had my 03 expiry sticker on,shitted myself but the cop just did a breathtest,looked at rego but he must just have looked at the month not year?didnt worry about wof and sent me on my way,but really i only take it on group rides now cause i have the safe feeling of being in a pack

[duckonin]

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).

Won't happen untill those driving cars play fair..Large percentage of bike accidents are caused by the motorist,(cars) they should be the ones paying the costs....

[SMOKEU]

Someone should get a jet powered bike and see what happens when they get pulled over on it by the constabulary. Technically it's not a motor vehicle if you bolt a Boeing 747 engine onto a GN250.

In one of the major cities Oz quite a few years ago, bikers protested by taking up car parking spaces in the CBD. I don't remember what the issue was but the authorities 'got the message' and backed down, $320 pa is just over the friggin top!!!
