    Learn to read. Most bikes will be over 600cc
    Pretty much every cruiser fits over that.

    What did I say? Your public submissions did what exactly?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    No they're not. 50% are people falling off on corners. By themselves.

    Because of what do for a living, I got the details on all the proposals at work today. Attached is the motor vehicle proposal and the details are on page three. Happy reading. I haven't taken it all in yet but I reckon the first graduated step should be 0 - 250cc, not 0 - 125. That way you'd take in all the learners in one category.

    Before you slash your wrists though (oh, that won't be covered now either) check out the figures at the bottom of page three also. Interesting to note what our actual expense could be levied at if it wasn't for cross-funding.

    And what about reg on hold? Pretty sure they'll put the fine up for both.

    That's to keep people happy and make them feel involved.

    Well not in all cases

    If it's about cost allocation then surely cyclists and off-roaders (sorry dirt bikers) are some how included?
    Ahh, but with fuel tax you pay based on the amount of fuel you use. Most motorcycles use a lot less fuel than cars, and trucks have a separate tax.

    And off-roaders still use petrol.

    Cars a subsidising because the fuckers hit us!!!!

    Fuck that!!! That's insane shit! Remember that's only the ACC part of the rego. Add the other parts and we're slidding towards $1,000 JUST for rego!!!

    Fucken nuts.

    I'm keen for a user pays system and insurance paying for injuries. If you don't crash why should you pay more? It's lumping everyone together. Yes it's the easiest way to do things. But $500 hike to make things easier is gonna kill a lot of people from heart attacks!!

    Ixion - how about the immediate publication of a notice supporting motorcyclists not paying their rego.

    That's the only protest left fellas and fellesses.

    those greedy bastards, if I average 3000k/year, that's 25 cents per km! Twice that if I have 2 big bikes (is 601cc big??)
    Shaken, not stirred in the shakey city!

    People who don't pay their rego and crash still get paid out under ACC. So win-win.
