Classic Rego

[eelracing]

Just got my Rego renewel notice for the Norton and fuck me it's only $57.59 for 12 months.

Now I thought it was only car rego that was going down...but classic biking has just had what nearly represents a 50% reduction.

Consider tho that at the same time my 350LC rego arrived...a bike that is less powered ,better braked and argueably better handling and only 6 years younger and I still have to pay a fucking whopping great $408.

Roll on 2021

Makes little sense to me other than I'm bloody happy to pay the $57 rego for the Triumph....

I cant work out why my classic BMW is bugger all to rego, yet the one with the ABS & traction control is $500ish.

I'll explain it for you.

The VCC lobbied the Govt and got the 40 year rule for people who owned Vintage Cars.

People who own vintage cars tend to drive them carefully and not very often.

The British had a similar system of 30 years but in 2003 stopped it at 1972 as from memory they worked out there were a few million cars of that age still in regular use and not weekend classics.

All very well having traction control and ABS but do bikes really need 100+ HP?

My plan is to go all vintage when I retire as I know how to fix them-I'm over bike and car shops.

Some of the more practical ones are now 40, my daily rider is 1974. Did 250 ks on it last Saturday.

Parts availability on BMW's is very good, can get all maintenance items from the UK in a matter of days.

Just respoked the wheels, $120 per wheel for SS spokes

Looking forward to 2018 when Ducati Darmah turns 40, a mere 31 years after I bought it.

Pension kicks in perhaps?

[Moise]

Hmm, there's a few nice bikes that were made before 1976.

Why?

Overpriced shitty handling piles of noise and smoke.

[Voltaire]

Got a WOf on my R90s yesterday, OMG its nearly half the price of the rego.....

WOF guy has done his back in badly and is on ACC due to a motorcycle incident.

Trying to check wheel bearings on bikes with no centre stand and cant be jacked up due to fairings.

" I'm not doing them any more no centre stand no WOF"

You would think with classic bikes not being built to the same safety standards as modern bikes there would be no discount on them considering how ACC in every other respect considers motorcycling unsafe. Maybe classic bike riding groups were able to convince the govt that our reg should be much lower than other bikes as we only ride our bikes to the odd show and rally.

Its not the bike that causes accidents its the rider.

You can ride your bike 24/7 , if you only want to ride it to the odd show and rally its not the Governments problem that you under use your bike.

Classic Bike clubs do not give a toss about you.

[Voltaire]

If ACC used that logic for riders then every rider who has held a bike license for over 30 years should qualify for a registration discount too.

your Honda will be cheap rego in 6 more years, then you can stop moaning.
