[actungbaby]

$80 a year I pay on my 74 BMW.

You think buy a 74 bmw twin with a lime green kawak surpercharged 1000 look oficer i adeed just few mods ;-)

Worlds fastest beemer

[actungbaby]

But the ACC already gets more than X and make a huge profit every year?
Face it folks, you motorcycle types are all getting it right up the jacksie from the ACC every time you pay your rego.

Spot not just on the bikes either those Lucky ones with jobs too through there rates rents boss pays the acc been so long since worked

I think emplyee pays acc levies small amount too. i remmber when you got you pay in little pay envolope .

Mind you used to pay through the nose for import dutys on the bikes too and had pay 2/3 deposits on new bikes

And the bikes are far better tires are fantasic radials . cross pys where shit . helmets clothing way better

celbrate good times and bikes are Just better .

I used to put a year's rego on the Ducati as my birthday present to myself

But since it has gone up, I worked out that it was costing me around around $50 a ride - an absolute ripoff

So now a just keep her WoF'ed and run the risk

Its not long until she is eligable for the "classic" registration - I'll reconsider then

I do keep the DRZ up to date with both reg and wof

Good on you mate have treat yourself at least once a year imgaine got out the car with dark glasses unfolded you cane

give the officer thing to pnder am sorry i cant read my rego ticket least have one in brail ya pricks ;-)

I chhc used have vans blind driver hehe always made me double loook.

Then kung fu his ass if tryed arrest you cllaiming disabilty harresment . and acc claim for unude stress

[actungbaby]

How can you say that, cars are under $200 a year now and bikes nearly $600, that's how no blame ACC works. When driverless cars come in will they have riderless bikes?

I be glad be of the road by then FEck that my apple phone needs update ever five mins. you loose your paasword

U have walk home . turning iengine is free but full version has all the gears and full power . and lights

Imagine some tight ass leave his lights of to save power .

Wake up folks and smell the roses...

The actual licence fee for me to ride my 650cc bike on the road is $24.50! The ACC levy is $397.18 plus ACC Safety Lee of $25: a total going to ACC of $422.18.

If you consider the ACC levy [$397.18] as accident insurance then I think we are getting a good deal. I challenge anyone on here to come up with an accident insurance policy that is as comprehensive as that which ACC provides - including the payment of wages/salary component - for less than $400 a year, especially when you start talking about riding a motorcycle.

Yes, we pay it for each vehicle. So I pay $397.18 plus $297.91 [400cc bike] plus $84.98 for a car which is a total of $780.07. This is still less than what my health insurance costs per year and that policy is not going to deal with any accident I may suffer.

Those of you who are reading USA motorbike forums will have seen, no doubt, the threads about some rider who has had an accident and the members are fund raising to help pay the rider's hospital bills. We could do away with ACC and some of us could be in that position - how would you feel about that?

ACC may not be the best - there are problems with it - but it is certainly better than many of the alternatives.

Thats very good way looking at it . and after all nothing more certain in life but death and taxes . if we miss on this

They get another it another way . you know you pass away overseas Austrila even if you havent got uptodate passport

U realtives have to get you one from weelington go down . before your body can be shiped back. crazy

yeah ... I had that thought too ...


How much would you pay for an insurance plan that (on a no-fault basis):

Pays 80% of your salary until you are ready to return to work

Pays all medical bills following an accident. (Including ambulance/helicopter rescue, any surgery, all hospital bills.)

Will pay for any house repairs should you be disabled following the accident (i.e. build wheelchair ramps, modify kitchen, bathroom (etc)

Will pay for wheelchair and support people if needed following an accident (including house cleaners)

Will pay for retraining fees if you are no longer able to do your job as a result of an accident.

Will pay for 24-hour care if you need it as a result of an accident.

Go to an insurance company and ask how much you would have to pay.

I'm waiting, but not holding my breath, for some of those who moan about ACC to take up the challenge and get a costing from an insurance company...

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.

Think of it this way, you could buy two sessions with a hooker for that, but how many rides in a year can you get for $522.96? LOL

[Big Dog]

Most years I get about 600 journeys in.

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

Power boating. Like standing in a cold shower ripping up hundred dollar notes.

Y'all are using some expensive hookers, son. All I'm sayin.

My usual hookers I would get 50 goes for $500. Plus bonus crabs and syphilis

Well just went to extend my rego hold on the GSXR (its been too cold to get any meaningful work done in shed) before the current exemption runs out in October.
First the site says cant process my request, second attempt says as its already on hold I have to extend it at an LTSA agent..... oh well have to go give them 522 for the DR anyway....
Welcome to the technological age....

[Pist'n'broke]

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.

...And you would have been WALKING......

[HenryDorsetCase]

my trailer is $35 and I dont need a WOF
