Firstly my 78 Z1R 1000 Classic has a completely different insurance rate! Its much reduced from what was on my VTR1000. I don't see ACC proposing that at all!
You assume the only system is to attach ACC levies to vehicles! Which is the heart of our argument about fairness, Its simply not and possibly illegal. which is what we are asking in this thread? With rego at the present levels its manageable, basically we don't mind paying a bit extra, but put them up to $800 and its discriminatory and unfair!
Secondly as we all know very very rarely do any of us let others ride our bikes! Even if we own more than one! Its the one question you never ever ask "can I ride your baby?" You wait to be offered usually! So the sharing a bike thing is a red herring!
BTW: If you where a mechanic wouldn't you have a current license with an ACC levy attached or have paid for the petrol in it if the levies where on those suggestions put forward??
Or have ACC levies already paid though your company/job/occupation ACC charges?? Shouldn't all the professionals in the trade already be covered even Bike salesman. Their employers pay ACC don't they? How many times to they want to charge for riding a bike!!
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
