And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Ah, Riffer, right on cue.
Hey, you don't have to try and tell me bout National, been fighting that particular bunch of bastards for many a year.
National set up this particular mess, no?
National set up the MSL Establishment Group, no?
National are behind the ongoing MSL group, no?
Erm...no
From memory the MSL was set up by the first (and hopefully only) Key government...yes, I'm sure that's right.

12 mth Rego for > 5700cc car = $287.87
Something just doesn't seem to add up, but then again.....
I hope the young lass wearing a mini skirt, jandals & t-shirt weaving all over the road on her scooter whilst in wellytown CBD rush hour made it home alright last night.
It wil be interesting to see if scooter use drops off due to the cost of the new regos.

Yes, I too had that personal assurance from Mr Goff, have since attempted to have him repeat it, without success.
Couple of us set up a meeting recently with Darren Hughes and put the same question to him, again no success.
The opposition have, at the moment, reneged on that promise. The NZ Riders Are Voters campaign looks like our best bet at reminding those who seek power that such promises have been made. That many many thousands of bikers, and their families, and their friends, expect this particular promise to be kept.
NZRAV may also be able to soften the next blow if the Nat coalition is returned and remind them that we will not go away, nor will this issue.
Despite what many say, it aint over, and some will continue to fight the ridiculous and unwarranted levy hikes.

Er, let me think..... no! Don't get me wrong I am sure some are there because they really think they can do some good, sadly some are there for the perks and the power. Same everywhere, they rate alongside Car Dealers and Traffic Wardens in popularity...
I think also a lot of the trouble is not the Politicians as much as the senior people in the Civil Service that advise them, too many "Sir Humphrey's" do not like bikes, bikers or the tags and images that go with them... Some of that is Media inspired hype but some is down to the guys riding
60-600cc in the same category is the biggest bullshit since global warming.
Mopeds are still a lower price @ around 173 pa. Interesting that a quick glance at their licensing page would have you believe they are hugely expensive though, yet more discouragement of those who wish to ride?
As to the OP, I don't think it's really causing much cost to ACC, tbh the 24 probably covers it, 3 extra labels and an extra 10mins of staff time, rest is all computerised I would imagine.
