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

[actungbaby]

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.

yeah its horendous the rego i think if you got 2 bikes its crazy should be one fee per licence so out on your bike keyed into your

ownership of course, i think classic bikes are cheaper or has that changed too .

[actungbaby]

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

I was paying my by the month on the car mate ate one stage more expensive but you do what u must.

[actungbaby]

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

yeah thats why ones on tm are always de regestered well that ownership isssues you dont want somones eles fines learn that one hard

way this year. over grand in fines for car i got 850.00 for cant blelive so dumb

[jim.cox]

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

yeah its horendous the rego i think if you got 2 bikes its crazy should be one fee per licence .

Trouble with that though is that levies would have to go up. They still need X amount of money to cover accidents and if you're dividing that amount by the number of licence holders instead of the number of vehicles then it's a higher pro rata rate. Mate.

Just occured to me too though that it would be unfair on another level. Mrs Oakie and I have a car. Should we pay the same amount each as a single person with one car? When you get down to that level, levying by the licence holder is unworkable if your trying to provide a fair system.

[MrMarko]

I'm paying the highest bracket on 4 cars due to their classification...

At least the bike needs a rebuild so is on hold.... oh...

$80 a year I pay on my 74 BMW.

. They still need X amount of money to cover accidents .

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.

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 think that's exactly what they are aiming for.

Yeah, while I congratulate you on only having to pay that much (gnashing of teeth) I never really understood why that is. Classic bikes somehow soften the road / lamp posts / fences as they pass by? I guess it was a simpler time back then lol, so maybe you only get medical care commensurate with the age of the bike??

When driverless cars come in...

...(and don't hold your breath on that one) it will be the end of private vehicle ownership anyway. Suck on that, ACC!

[FJRider]

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

Those insured should get the price of their bike back (or close to at least). The uninsured get the joy of remaining rego refunded.

Lucky them ... eh

[Cosmik de Bris]

ACC should be applied to the owner not the vehicle, after all you can only drive one at a time. That would seem to me to be far fairer.

[WristTwister]

A primary registration fee for the owner and a smaller fee per vehicle registered would make sense for most people, as many people have bikes and cars ie: bike riders can own more than one vehicle, but only use one at a time.

Its because the VCC ( Vintage Car Club) is a large organization that has the resources to successfully petition Govt and get things approved Vs social media whining, park ups in Ponsonby, posting up helmet cams of non indicating vehicles whilst lane splitting and so on.
The AA and the NZMCA ( Campervan Association) are also ones that do this.
Also get good deals on insurance thru the VCC.
