Are you registering your bike?

[Gubb]

Mine expires on July 7. Shit.

New bill is for $517.25 for 12 months. Looks like i'm off to fill out an MR27 tomorrow to get it at the old rate.

[gsx katana]

Nope, time to get a flip up plate

Won't work for me, however, as I ride every day anyway. I guess that means that I'm already getting pretty good value for money.

My beef is not whether or not ACC is good value or whether or not I can afford the levy, it's that there is an inequity with cagers and the stated reason just doesn't hold water.

Yeah, agreed on that for sure, and don't get me wrong, I helped protest, didn't want it happening etc. However, I do usually do 40,000km+ a year, odds of getting a fine or stopped could be high, bikes are parked in public places etc, its just not worth the risk to me.

Certainly WONT BE registering, Im covered by insurance and WILL accept a ticket if I get one......none for 6 years

The way it seems is the biking community (or a large percentage of it) are complete pushovers, good protest people.

FUCK ACC "yeah right".......................pussies!

Said in gest ;-)

nah, you're not getting away with that! Handbags at 10 paces

[blossomsowner]

I agree with Quasi...........my rego has been on hold since before the big protest in welly which I went down to. I will continue to keep it on hold indefinitely. What has happened to the rest of you........stop whining and just don't pay the fees.
I do keep WOF up to date though.

But it's against the LAW!!!??????

yeah and ? civil disobedience is an obligation in this case............I have no choice

Think I'll end up de-registering, all the perks of not paying BS ACC levies with the added bonus of no camera scams & not being easily tracked.

[Ixion]

De registering doesn't prevent your number being tracked if you still have the plate on. They don't remove the records from the system when you de-register a vehicle.

No plate at all would be a magnet for cops. Better , if you want to go down that path (not advocating it of course, cos it would be ILLEGAL), is to get a dead plate from a wrecked bike.

How do you manage to get a wof without having current rego ?

[Ixion]

Don't need rego to get a wof. They don't check it. It's the other way round, you need wof to get rego

[st00ji]

you could have a KB swap meet - everyone de-reg their bikes and meet up to trade plates.

course, im sure the penalties for getting snapped with such a plate would be much worse than the no rego ones... you'd need to be fairly certain of your gingerbread man skills i'd have thought.

Rich enough to ride, rich enough to prop up a corrupt system that lost its purpose and ideals a long time ago. Now the system is so screwed up its easier to shaft the minority than fix it. So no, my protest will be to pay my money and keep riding, no ones forcing me to give up what i enjoy doing or force me to break the law doing it.

A well thought out and mature response to a rather rediculous question, one of the better posts in recent tmes in my opinion.

I agree with every word and will also be paying.

A rather rediculous question??? >how is enquiring to the KB community a rediculous question??

Thank you to all for sharing your opinions, As previously stated, this thread was to inquire into what people are "ACTUALLY" doing in regards to the exorborant fees ACC has dumped on us.
And as far a insurance goes, check with your agent...you might be surprised! most insurance companys DO-NOT! require a rego...yup thats right (checked with 5 companys and all stated rego is not a factor in cover or payouts..YAY!!).
WOF...if it aint safe...dont put it on the road! - Keep ya wof upto date and prove your bike is safe and your not an idiot lol
Thanks again for the great feed back everyone, ride safe and keep the post's coming!

PS: Only through actions will change come about, talking & doing.....big difference! -and only one gets things done!

[sinfull]

And if every man jack goes out and puts their rego on hold what will happen, they will change the rules so you cant put them on hold ! Then legitimate folk who want to store a vehical get slammed in responce to your not paying up !

The op's original question was WHO will be putting reg on hold ? Well why don't you all put ya hand up , oh and ya reg number and address to make it easier for some of the cops on here to find ya if they wanted to !

It's done, the levies have been raised ! A stunt like this will only push for more legeslation against bikers ! I currently have 5 plates on hold, both cars and bikes in various stage projects, do i want to see legeslation brought about that stops me being able to do this ? Rediculous question huh, cost me around 3 hundy for each plate if i have to go back over the pits, which will happen if too many ride (and get caught with plates on hold) !
By the way i think the fine is 200 for non reged bike but the fine goes up dramatically if you ride with a plate on hold, or will you be riding to get a warrent every time ?
