Waa?
Now as I have an A.V.I. cert (authorised vehicle inspector) I may be able to help here.
The manual is vague, not a little vague, very fucking vague…
There is a paragraph at the front that states that if I think your car, bike, light truck is unsafe for a reason that is not covered in the usual inspection, I can still fail it.
Cool eh?
But I have to prove it.
The other side of the coin is that a huge amount in there is “up to the discretion of the inspector”
So your rotor float may pass my test, yet fail another one later that day by someone ether less, or more experienced than I am.
If you die because of something I thought was Okay, I’m in deep shit.
Oddly enough, if I fail your vehicle, and you still die, and it was something that I may have missed, even though you didn’t have a warrant, I’m still in the shit.
Bike too loud?
I doubt I would think so unless it made my ears bleed, and I’m not spending the money on the gear, or riding out to a deserted airfield, on a windless day, with no cloud cover to test the thing is under the 95Db.
So then I’ll pass it.
If the ex mechanic/panel beating/auto sparky/ car valeting cops keep their cert’s up to date, then they are more committed than I am.
At the end of the day, if your bike has a little sticker on it, chances are they will wave you through and move on to the next in line.
But, if they do test your bike they are limited to tyres, are they down to the wear indicators? The lights, horn, high beam warning light, all working?
Nothing hanging off it?
Not actually much on a bike, and not much you can do on the side of the road in the small amount of time they legally have, unless they want to arrest or fine you.
Anyone who fought them in court shouldn’t have to do much to win.
And no, I no longer do, or want to do any warrant inspections.
Its not worth the drama.
I have a nice new job, my hands are clean, my tools are at home and life is good.
We all have our little obsessions...

yeh they got some good shit going on over there. The ACC issue isn't over and done with though, however it seems rider apathy may be a bigger enemy than the politicians, I hope to be proved wrong though.

The instructions are simple...
NO possibility of revenue in sending you a leaflet.still waiting for a copy of the safety flyeror am I gonna have to come find a checkpoint to get one?
See - it's quite clear - you have to go get one, meaning you are likely to be on the road on your bike, and they have a chance of nabbing you for something.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

We can, Wellington for instance could easily be bunged up legally around the Beehive or ACC building, with just a few bikes each taking a car space and doing the legal min.

Oooh how about Lambton Quay -or perhaps not just keep it to politicians - the common 'foe'
Pasta La Vista
Actually no.In Welly bikes are not allowed to park in car spaces but have to stick to the bike specific ones.Sucks eh.

So don't park. A measly couple hundred bikes strategically circulating through Welly “looking for bike-parks” about 07:30 of a Monday morning could just about shut the city down for the day. Pollie’s got a plane to catch? Oh dear.
Oh yeah, Ms Wade-Brown finding it difficult to get to work on her treadly? Hard fucking luck, change the parking legislation m’dear. Fucksakes, do I have to think of everything?
Only sucks if you don’t have the balls to spit it out.
Actually, I wonder where ‘eronner does park the Mayoral treadly… can it be done legally in our fair town? Are there treadly-specific parks? Do they cost a lot?
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
