Stop making so many claims on your insurance and the premiums go down ... this whole angry reaction is just head in sand stuff... keep the bugger upright and your premiums will go down ( and mine too!!)

It could be argued that your stance is also head in the sand stuff, bow to this victimisation of a minority group and the present issues will be only the tip of the iceberg.
Remember, as per Rick Barker's argument - this is supposedly a no fault system.

Are you sure about this? I bought a car that had its rego on hold. I changed ownership and then tried to register it for one month. The NZ post staff weren't aware that I couldn't do it but each time they tried to process it for one month the computer spat it out. In the end they rang the higher ups who said when coming off hold you have to register for a minimum of 3 months. The computer took the 3 months no problem.

Yes, he's correct - there is no provision for a minimum 3 month period of vehicle licencing under any regulation.

Also when the registered owner is changed on a vehicle that has a current exemption to continuous licensing - the 3 month minimum exemption period does not apply if the new registered owner then relicences it. Also if it has outstanding licence fees they don't have to be paid before the new registered owner can relicence it - they are the liability of the previous owner who incurred them.

That's weird then. Maybe their computer was playing up but that was what the girl was told when she rang up too.

just had a man come around to pick up something we sold on trademe. He apologised for being late and said it was due to his work being in 'crisis mode'. I asked him if he worked for acc and he does. I then told him Nick Smith was a knob jockey and he said that he (Nick Smith) is very concerned about mass bike protests, especially at parliament.

carver and sidewinder can organise Hamilton one as long as they don't pull wheelies on protest rides.

OR lead us up n over the humps of the fairfeild bridge

Tried to read this whole thread but gave up @ page 20 or so. Thought I saw some maths somewhere that there were about 10,000 road registered bikes in NZ. Has anyone thought how many ATV's there are in NZ, on farms & recreationally?? From memory I think there are about 14,000 dairy farms , most of which would have at least 1 ATV. 14,000 ATV's not counting the sheep and cattle farms that would have 1 as well, & 2 wheel dirt bikes added to the total . Would have to be in excess of 20,000 bikes easily!! This sector it would be fair to say have their fair share of "misfortune". Farming accidents stats feature at the top of the most dangerous occupations list. Is the cost of those accidents being lumped into the total ACC cost of 'bike' accidents & if so some thought needs to be put into recovering some of that cost from the users (abusers) of ATV's.
Was a sharemilker with 2 ATV's & had staff that did DUMB DUMB things on them, one of them ending up in hospital!! No rego's on them then , either !!
