maybe not,apparently he is seen as a bit of a rogue and a fanatic....(The Nation this morning)

Gotta link to that?

Do we get a credit for the recent no crash weekend?

Probably not with more bikes regos on hold over the winter lowering the level of swill in the trough.

Funny enough there is a story in the Dom Post today about the huge increase in motorcycle and scroter sales this last 12 months (blamed on fuel prices) so.... I am starting to wonder at the accuracy of the rego on hold quotes and figures...........

I have 3 big bikes, one is on hold 2 are rego'd (Ducati is on hold coz its for sale)
I might just open a poll with 2 simple questions
How many bikes do you own?
How many are on hold or expired?

Wonder what the result will be................

I could imagine those with a healthy museum of bikes in their garage would have some legally parked.

I've got 175 cc spread out unevenly over two machines with two rego's...two warrants.......two insurance bills.............far canal, what am I doing?

[The Lone Rider]

Dear Mr. Smith,

Please enclose a check to me for the difference I paid registering my vehicles, to what you actually needed. I understand you were broke. I am broke now.

There's an extra 300+ to re-certify the fazer then.......... yeah I hear that Pete ya cant tell em jack.....

LOL then I must be at 200%. Two bikes both on hold.

Better that it was, had 4 at one time.

Still, by not paying the fee, saving well over $1k a year, and been doing it for a few years now, so have to be $4-5k up. Might even buy a new bike with the savings :-)

I'll cheerfully pay $150 if I ever get caught, but the simple process of not getting caught appears to work very well.

Its actually a 200$ fine Dave, but I get your maths.
I simply attract too much attention to run round un reg's or un warranted.....

[Winston001]

...the Government was attempting to change the funding model from a year to year basis ...to a self-sustaining insurance funding model where you amass enough capital to cover your liabilities in perpetuity.

And this is a bad thing how??

Its gone down.

Its $200 from a meter maid.

Or $150 and 20 demerits from a cop. Amazingly good deal really, considering it has never happened in years.

If I bought another 4 or 5 bikes I would be saving even more !

An issue I have recently spoken to TV1 about
The application of demerit points to a Tax revenue Collection issue is not IMO a good policy

Why should ones license be placed at risk over a tax issue?
Demerits have until recently only been reserved for safety related issues, where is the danger involved in someone not paying a tax fee?

Also, I thought this was not yet in effect?
