It's soooooo unfair (sniffle)

[HenryDorsetCase]

I almost concur. But...
Rego is where the funds come from to cover some aspects of roading and all aspects of injury on those roads. Everyone should pay their way. But no-one should be paying any more than anyone else. Equal rights, equal cover, equal responsibility.

which is of course the point of ACC, and the fundamental basis of the woodhouse report upon which it was based. Its the death of a thousand cuts aspect that pisses me off.

And as a practical solution to your objection, add ACC levy to petrol and diesel cost: bingo INSTANT user pays in proportion to use. Then registration reverts to what it actually is for: ensuring roadworthiness of vehicles and drivers.

Not to re-hash the points I argued in the various ACC threads....

Ha, wota joke. There's only three intellegent people here. Two are at work and I've just come back from a meeting. The rest have proved beyond a shadow of doubt that they're brain dead and incapable of seeing, or having any logic or common sense. The only idea those fuckwits will 'get' is that civil disobedience, and blaming everybody else for their problems is the answer.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Gotta catch a plane home shortly, and then going fishing for the weekend, so see ya next week.

re your lunch with the munsters yesterday: It doesnt count if you were filling their wineglasses and putting plates down in front of them and then taking it away after they'd snouted the trough for a while. I'm just saying.

It's a bit silly, I know a chap who has some beaut cars and has never reg'd a car in his life... he's never been caught and is also getting on in years.
Thankfully I have an uber beige shitheap and don't tend to get troubled at the nana speeds I go.

Yeh, I just wash all the cobwebs and dust off the van before using it if I have to, worked so far!

It's the minority that cause all the hassle friend and make our ACC levies and insurance premiums rise. If you want to have a cry about it then I have a box of tissues in my office! For example, thanks to the people the minority of people who can't make a bike go around a corner on State Highway 75, you will be seeing the Highway Patrol out there in numbers (I was stopped in Tai Tapu last week at a bike specific checkpoint). Thanks to the 40 worst juvenille criminal offenders in Christchurch who are targeted by the Youth Crime Squad, your insurance premiums go up. If your bike doesn't have a reg or wof and you're unlicenced then I hope you get what you deserve. The sooner police have the power to impound vehicles with no reg, wof or insurance the better, just like the poms do, get the trash off the road I say!

How did anything I say indicate I was having a cry? I'm not affected by this in any way. Every vehicle I have ever owned has always been WOF'd, Rego'd and Fully insured.

My point was that it is rather dumb for a cop to brag on a biking website that they deliberatley target bikes. It would be the same as a cop parking somewhere in Otara and telling locals at the dairy he is targeting blacks. Simply stupid and regardless of whether or not the targeting is justified, the NZ Police has a bad enough rep in regards to traffic fines etc, and this type of publicity does not help. Simple as that.

But it IS nice to have confirmation that we're not paranoid...

Ha, what a joke. There's only three unintellegent people here. Two are at work and I've just come back from a meeting. The rest have proved beyond a shadow of doubt that they're brainy and capable of logic or common sense.

Your grammars doing good but your spelling could be improved, you must learn the meanings of words and use them where correct.
I have highlighted in red a few places you went wrong, keep practising and you'll get it right eventually. Otherwise good work C+

well you didn't make the cut so i don't hold out much hope for the other two you nominated.

I'm sure that's a contraction...

Innit a pity, the five oh didn't have this smart thing before the reg costs went up. To give us a comparison as to how many more people are failing to register their bikes now.

I like the way, Rastuscat, that you are proud of what you're doing.

Can you not see the long game and the only way it can turn out? Penalties go up, so more of us run. Of the ones that don't run, some will get their bikes legal dispite the increased (unjustified) hikes in cost, the rest will say "fuck it". and give up riding altogether.

So, per rider on the roads, the percentage of runners goes up...LOTS.

Bikers are then seriously frowned apon by the general public, and the only cunts left riding bikes are the stupidly wealthy, and criminals.

By the way, I'll be a criminal. Catch me if ya can fuckers!

From what you've written, you're the fuckin joke dickhead.

You a product of your father fuckin his sister or what?

They know how many more bikes have reg on hold, how many bikes are sold and how many are cancelled (written-off). They know the number of active regos have dropped for the number of bikes out there. Therefore they don't need the cops to tell them how many unrego'd bikes are on the road, they need them to have the fancy gear to try to force us into compliance or compliant obedance
Run Drew, run.

[Drew]

Run Drew, run.

I do, and will.

rastuscat is going to have to get one of those smart phone things, he is missing all the fun whilst he is at work. I am sure he could manage to eat donuts and post too.

I'm sure he prefers to read a bunch of posts at once, rather than drips and drabs. I know I do when I'm trolling for a bite or seven.
