I bet they are laughing their heads off. Wet roads, dark longer, grit everywhere,less bikes on the road = less chance of a accident. When you register your bike in October you will still pay the motorcycle safety levy of $30.00 anyway, better weather,less grit and shit on the roads = less chance of an accident. My mate registered his diesel hilux ute and it cost about the same as his cbr1000rr.

I wonder what would happen next year.

Math said that "Half the population x similar cost = twice the levy per head".

Unless those with rego-on-hold stops riding.
But then again, they might not be the ones with accidents either.
Interesting.

Can't see the problem. Putting your rego on hold and not riding isn't exactly a protest is it, that's why you are allowed to do it. If you aren't riding then you aren't going to be involved in a bike crash so I am sure the ACC will be happy to lose the income, seeing as they will also reduce the payouts.

It is those people who are going to protest by putting the rego on hold and still ride that will cause the agro. Less income but no decrease in payouts will lead to some changes. I wonder what the ACC will do when they start seeing people getting injured who are riding bikes that have purposefully been put on hold as a big FU to them ? I wouldn't have thought that those claims are going to be very successful.

I refuse to pay the government any more than I have to in taxes. Rego on hold for me then!

[mrchips]

I can't complain, I drive a 5.7 L V8 tank & pay the same $ 281.61 yr rego as Mr & Mrs Greeny in their yota prius.

Although I feel sorry for private non-petrol vans & utes paying from $ 583.81 yr rego. When you compare that to a 600cc + bike the $ 517.25 yr rego doesn't seem to bad !

The biker still pays more to ACC - the diesel is cheaper than petrol partly because there is no ACC levy on diesel but there is on petrol.

The 'powers to be Dept' will laugh when they read this as you are making their new system work the way they want it to..."Another one off the road".

Lose out, no only you, as you now cannot ride your bike, as for the money if they do not make enough this year they will lift the costs higher next year, Matey they never lose!!

[rabidnz]

rego strike!

[Juzz976]

I'm only registering my bike, if I use the car I take bike rego with me and If I get pulled up I'll explain my reasoning

[Big Col]

Just put bike on rego hold today; lady at the Post Office said quite a few bikes were going on hold. I will still ride whenever I feel like it, Ive got one bike registered and one not. Not gonna pay two ACC levys, Ive only got one body to injure.

It sucks, why cant we reg the bike for the admin fee of $20? Or whatever it is, and then its $500 for the rider for the year…
For those with more than one bike it’s the fairer deal.
Or, how’s this for madness, teach people to look out of their fucking windows when they drive?

Still pissed off...

Can nobody ride the other bikes while you're out on one of them?

[Deano]

Govt and ACC revenue via rego is decreasing, but I don't think accident costs will decrease proportionally. 2 factors for this are fair weather riders (me included) having rego on hold over winter, but the same chances of a crash in summer cause I don't really ride in winter anyway.

Then there are those that will put rego on hold and still ride.

So, I'm picking the rego will rise even sharper in years to come for this shortfall.

No win situation.
