License Plate Troubles

[Sniper]

While doing a bit of a clean and a tune of the bike yesterday I noticed that my license plate has a huge split along the top.
Now Im not 100% sure on what to do, do I go into and LTSA and get a new one (Whats the cost in that and will it have to be re-rego'd) or can I repair this one somehow.

I only ask because I had to walk to work this morning in fear of the thing flying off. Im scared because I hate walking and Im afraid of getting exercise.

clear duct tape?

It doesn't have to be re-regoed, they can replace the plate. I don't think it's all that expensive. Prison labour is cheap. It may even be free.

Have you checked the LTNZ (LTSA) web site?

yeah, if you give them your plate, they'll restamp a new one for ya.. can't remember how much it cost

Or it's just over $8 to get a new one with a different number.

Thats what I just found out by calling them. This is after I asked to speak to a supervisor after the silly girl informed me that I would have to deregister the bike and then reregister it. I almost fell off my chair

Oh well, a trip to the VINZ station today is in order then, damn, I liked my plate!

You shouldn't have to do that... Sam was hit from behind and Red Baron quoted up $11 for a new number plate... Call up Red Baron, speak with Mike in thwe workshop and he should be able to help you out he's a good guy

Speaking of which, how is the sams bike situation now? What is being done?

Sorry, just a nosy bastard.

A couple of bits of stainless rivetted on from behind might do the trick?

A lot of stuffing around though when it's only $8 to get a new one...

Ok my rego plate is totally falling apart after I had been hit from behind...

Anyways... I got a friend to make a steel plate the same size as the rego plate.. and its bolted to the bike. I use extra large washers to hold it all in place. The steel plate has had all the ends nicely rounded and the sides all smoothed off so that there is no rough or sharp bits on it.

I want to keep the same number plate, but the only way to do that is hand in my plate and apply for a personalised number plate with the same letters and numbers. Well I aint gonna pay over $400 buckaroos.

So I have the steel plate behind it now. It works.

Im just thinking that maybe I might glue the number plate to the steel plate...
Are we allowed to do that????

Being bored at work I gave them a ring and asked that and the answer I got was that as long as it doesn't get classed as a dangerous attachment by the WOF guys its fine with them

If you want to get cheeky try this. Drill 2 new holes somewhere near the middle (or preferably use the originals) and tie wire it back on upside down. Mr Plod then might find it difficuilt to read the plate at a glimpse. And your excuse is. "it fell off and i have just had to tie it on until i can get it replaced, Must have put it on upside down by mistake".
Or even better get a plate such as 'MOM' that you can flip over to say 'WOW' instead. should beat the speed cam's at least. Have heard of it working but don't quote me on it.
