Rego cost (not a complaint thread!)

[mylodon]

Well tell ya what folks, I donate my stolen 650cc's license fees to whoever out there that needs moral elbowroom to save some cash. I just registered the thing before it was stolen so you get nearly a YEAR -- till July 2013

This is what I get back from the transport folk:

'I can confirm that when a vehicle is stolen, the vehicle can not be cancelled off the Motor Vehicle Register for reasons such as recovery and Police Investigation for example.

There are no provisions to issue refunds on stolen vehicles. The licence is attached to the vehicle not the person.'


enjoy... I'm not sure another way around this...

As the owner can you not de-register it, and claim the refund.
You would have to weigh up the option of ever seeing it again.

that is what i asked when i got the above reply.

perhaps i would have to contact the police, tell them that the bike was not stolen, and then unregister it.

still seems fishy though... isn't there a kind of no-operation registration you can do where you are allowed to own it but not drive it? i.e. no acc levy then...?

Thanks for your comment.

+++ I have Never had motor bike insurance.....so another $1000 per annum saving per bike ???...dunno how much it costs...

that's a healthy fine budget.....if you pay them, that is...

I'm not going to get into the rego argument. However, "saving" buy not having 3rd party insurance is not worth the risk. What you gonna do if you write off someone else's vehicle? Have a spare $150K lying around?

no you can't change the story or you'll end up in hot water yourself.
You should enquire further up the ladder within LTSA. One of their staff is a KB member and she knows jack shit about her own job.

What happens if the bike is not recovered in 12 months, do you have to put it on hold or pay further rego?
I think you need to get to the right person.

How many $150k vehicles have you seen on the road?

With all the money you've pissed away into insurance over the years you could have put it into a separate bank account and covered yourself.

Thanks for your comment.

as i have not paid rego for many years l did not know how much l was actually 'saving.



l have just looked it up.
approx....

400 cc...... $450
650cc...... $600
car...... $430

+ 6x WOFs.......$250

adds up to approx $1700 per annum x (eg) 5years = $8500

Wrong. You are bludging like a fucking leech off of the rest of us who pay our dues, irrespective of wether or not we approve of the system.

Not only that but since she does not pay, it makes the rest of our rates go up because of it.....and she did not even say "thank you" to any of us....or at least not to me .... I guess she is a lot smarter than the rest of us and I know when I am out smarted. She is so smart, it is not like she posted that she committed a crime for the past 5 years on a public forum in the section "Biker Politics and Law" that is known to have popo..or that she rides a XR650R, DRZ 400.....or her name is Neve Rollinson in her profile.....or if you do a KB search, you can see she posted her address on this same site

Now, I'm no Dick Tracy but, if I was a police officer, I would definitely keep an eye out for the so called Tina....If that is her real name. Isn't there a show called worlds dumbest criminals? Now if we only knew who she was and if some good Samaritan wanted to file a complaint with the local police department. I would think the more complaints the better.

[Madness]

If that is her real name.

No, it's not. Tina is actually (or was) a bloke called Tony from Hawkes Bay. He's since been banned, again. Neve is probably his ex wife or something.

I feel for you - I now register online in 3 mth installments only - at least I will only be hit for 3 months worth.

Yeah. And while you stand the writing the tickets you can enjoy the abuse you get about quotas, revenue collection,picking on bikers, getting a real job, catching a real criminal, blah blah blah.

Imagine the fun you could have armed with a copy of this' picking him up and advising that all unpaid costs will be backdated for the period he has publicly owned up to!!!

Dang it, I knew I was no detective.

Actually, I look at it this way. You play, you pay. Do I think the laws could be improved.... probably. However, you are doing what you are suppose to be doing. If people don't like the law, they need to write a letter to their representative and not make snide remarks. Finally, these same people that make those type of comments....who will be the first person they call when their bike gets stolen begging for help? Keep up the good work.
