Registration costs in that 7 years? = $0
WOF costs in that 7 years ?= $570
Fines for NO reg in that 7 years ? = $400
Times stopped by police in that 7 years? = 6

Bike Registration????..... yeah right

The first of the registration reminders for my (bikes) has arrived, so it must be getting on to a year since I last registered. The WOFs due as well.

I'll do the WOF on the Kawasaki next week, which will inform TNZ that I have travelled about 10,000 km during the period it has been on hold. I wonder if that will raise a flag on the computer.

I'm also considering doing a single month - or shorter period of rego if it is possible. This is because I am unsure of what happens if I get stopped. Do TNZ cancel the rego hold ? Do they try and backdate a rego fee to the last time paid ?

Anyone KNOW.

(Please don't offer a KB style opinion as fact.)

the ks.... they dont care.. and if someone gets all up in arms about it tell them you did if off the road.. irrelevant

if you get stopped while rego on hold you get a fine for not displaying a current rego.. thats it.. your bike stays on hold and you carry on.

All this talk of cheating the system by not paying rego is likely to backfire now as a sizeable portion of the levy being set aside for motorcycle safety initiatives is now being used to finance checkpoints to stop motorcyclists so their regos can be checked. Of course they tell us that they are using the levy for the purpose of providing us bike safety pointers, but really they are just using the levy to identify bikers who are protesting by not paying rego so that they get all of us.

Nick Smith must have laughed himself silly when he came up with that idea.

That was so obviously going ta happen and is why I decided not paying my rego would be a dumb move that would just play in Nick Myths Hands.

PS: How the F*CK can I get AD'S out of my posts? I don't mind them on the sit, but refuse to have them plonked in my post, making it look like I have posted it or am backing that ad :-(

Now the Ad has gone. WTF was all this about?

Xrl will go on hold after March.
Scrambler will stay registered 6mths a year.

Out of interest and boredom I noted down all the bike rego plates at Okoraire the other weekend. About 16 bikes. 50% were not registered

I can't help thinking that those of us who honestly pay our rego are gonna pay for you f*ckers one day soon.

Aye the fines will go up, and spot checks "to ensure our safety" will increase.

No, I mean ads. As you put in a new post the ads shifts into your post and stays there until the next person posts in that thread. Didn't mind the ads when they wheren't in ya post, but have a problem with them being added within your post. It makes it look like you are personally backing that advertiser (so yer bit like getting AIDs of KB).

Put on the blue uniform sunshine. Your lap dog material for sure.

You are dead right there.

The Govt accounting system works something like this;
We have 'x' number of bikes on the road, therefore we will collect 'x' number of dollars.

However if all the 'clever' people pull stunts and don't register their bikes the Govt will see they have collected 'x minus the clever peoples fees', therefore to get 'x' the Govt will have to put the fees up so that the Govt collects the fees they budgeted on.

Which will hopefully wake the apathetic fuckers up and they'll refuse to pay too. But I doubt it. They'll just do what they did this time last year... have a wee bleat then become resigned to it and pay anyway. What a truely pathetic nation of sheep we've become. It makes me embarrassed to be a NZer.
