Printing your own rego plate?

[Mr Skid]

Thanks everyone for clearing that up for me. I guess going for a new plate for 9 bucks seems like the easiest thing to do.

You guys have been most helpful. Cheers!

Oh, don't forget you'll need to get a reprint of your WOF sticker too.
I'm pretty sure from memory that the whole lot comes to just under $20.

I do the rego's at AMPS, anything other than an 'as issued' plate is illegal, even trimmed ones. A new plate is around $9.00 and vifferman is right, you can't choose your plate. Although, if it helps we're up to --WTN now.

Far out. From WTL to WTN in a couple of weeks.

A lot of bikes sold or maybe a lot of trailers?

Hopefully bikes

Yea but you know how the UK bikes have minature plates that look pretty cool? I was wondering if I could get away with one of them, here in NZ. The size I am talking about would be smaller than a mordern rectangular plate.

Just saw this thread. You must display the plate issued by LTSA, (or whoever they are now). $200 pill for having a home made job displayed.

Yeah, the plate on my VFR750 got 'lost' too, because it was way too big and I wanted to cut the back mudguard down as well. Easy as pie - just go to one of the licensing places, tell them it's lost, give them the details, pay your ~$8, and there you go. Disappointingly, you aren't allowed to choose from the ones they have, as they are supposed to issue them in sequence.

I've replaced a couple of plates, both times I asked the girl behind the counter if I could choose the number and both times she was more than happy.

When I got the Beemer done, they were up to WFR. Not bad (woofer), but I was hoping they'd be up to WMD......

If I want the same one again it then becomes a personalised number plate $400 and there is no way I am paying out that kind of money.

$400 for a personalised plate? How long since you last priced one? I got a personalised plate for the Goose and discovered the standard ones are now $531! Someone wants to buy the personalised plate off the Beemer but when I told them I wanted $500 for it, they said they weren't prepared to pay that much - well, if it was still available they would be paying more, so I'm not letting it go for less.

We had WMD. I nearly bought one.

yea but in the UK you get pulled over in a shot for those. Do look cool though...

Cycosis cut his rectangular plate back to the letters/numbers to make it smaller.

[Racer X]

Make sure that when you print off the new plate, you change some off the letters around aye

Back when I was working at head office I used to park the bike outside our office area. Rolled into work one morning, dismounted, went into work, came outside at morning tea time for a cigarette, took a couple of puffs, looking at the bike, suddenly realised I was seeing more tread than I should - numberplate was missing (one of the square ones so it used to obscure a fair chunk of rear wheel). I went and inspected and it looked like it had just snapped off while I was riding into work (crappy alloy plate secured by 2 bolts at the top edge on a single-banger - could easily have vibrated apart).

Got it replaced during my lunch break - a little over $8 for the plate and a few cents to get the rego ticket reprinted. WoF was fine as it was still in its plastic case on the back of the plate bracket. The new plate was one of the new rectangular ones - and it didn't come with holes in it, had to borrow a drill.

Anyone got any plates that they 'lost' for sale? Could be quite a market for those.

What's the fine for displaying an incorrect number plate? Not that I'd have the balls, but just curious.

The minature plates are still illegal in the UK, but as there are harldy any traffic cops on the road there peops tend to take the risk.
