$522.96 - a complete bargain and i only wish I could pay more

[HenryDorsetCase]

thats for 12 months rego for the Street Triple.

Fucking marvellous. Plus another $33 for the WOF (which I dont begrudge) and call it just over a hundy for a four litre of oil, a filter and washer. And the old girl will need new shoes this year (Metzeler or Rosso Corsa).

Its an expensive pastime is wha I'm saying. Especially since I did like 2500 km last year.

[Scubbo]

reg it as a farm plow, sorted.

[pritch]

Yeah I got the letter in the mail last week. Think I'll just pay six months this time.

[Akzle]

hahahaha. pay jews.

[Gremlin]

I never pay for a year. If the bike is written off / stolen / something, no money back. Doing too often is a pain, so usually 6 months. WOFs are $50 at VTNZ, dealer is $45.

Try riding more. At one point I was wearing through sets of tyres in about 2-3 months (I never think of tyres as "I'll need them this year"), one after another. One set lasted less than a calendar month. Add in services, yeah, it got real expensive.

If you want value for your rego, ride more

The rego disparity has become a little more ridiculous because my big 2+ ton van is $86 a year... it's such a small amount it's a waste of time to buy less than a year.

Outstanding licensing fees are refundable if the vehicle is written off.

Yeah, thats not right. I've just had a refund for a written off bike.

You registered your bike?

A novel concept. When did this begin?

[sidecar bob]

Try owning a launch, or flying planes.
$522 gets you fuck all.

Yeah! Taxation is theft!

I usually leave it until November and just get six months, but this year I have a charity ride in Sept.

If I just gave 2 months of the rego money to the charity, it might be the very best win-win

Yeah but your insurance company takes ownership when they write it off and get this money back - not the rider.


I drip feed it too.

Tyres - Maybe try the new Ross III I spooned a Rosso II on the rear (replacing Rosso Corsa) and I'm very happy with it so far and the III is meant to be superior.

Keep a eye on Avon Suzuki as well - they usually have a bulk purchase tyre deal on the go.

2,500 kms for the year. You must take more time to enjoy yourself.

[avimistry]

For 'em crazy a#% rego rates, at least give us better roads and less inflamed motorcycle (and related products) prices! My solutions to the ginormous rego rates are:

1) Undertaking additional training gets you discounts on rego for that year
2) For every acc/insurance claim-free year, you get compounded discounts on rego.

Note: the above might have been mentioned before, so I don't take sole claim to them.

[mossy1200]

I got a bargain 2 regos for $1044 and 2,500km total. Time spent out of out of earshot of wife priceless.

I think my back tire is $520 odd including fitting.
But if I walked 2500km I would eat food and wear out shoes worth more.

There you go HDC, just be glad you don'thave to feed a Mossy.
