hypothetical situation # 427

[scumdog]

I'd imagine you'd only get nicked if you crashed it and there was an insurance investigation or something.

I mean, no officer is going to check the chassis and engine numbers on the vehicle.

Hmmm, well I know of one who does if there's even a whiff that all is not kosher. (and sometimes does it anyway)

Wow...vigilant...I guess if it looked like it'd just come from the track it might be wise though.

As long the bike is the same colour as his then he'll be sweet..... you'll be surprised how many cars are running around in the same situation!

Yeh and they can and do check the VIN and Engine # if they get suscpious of any thing

There'd be a bazillion cars around with non matching engine numbers, cos they've had a recon engine. Bikes, too.

If my friend attached his VIN, the only thing that would catch my friend out is his frame number...

If its just a means to get it home, fine, just blend in, dont draw attention, stay cool if pulled up. In the long run, its like anything, we make our choices (Im not going to quote one my mothers sayings ringing in my head, grrrrrrrr).

I just happen to know this guy that lives out Southwest Auckland that does this type of thing.Currently owns two bikes,one of which has it's Reg'o on hold,but he uses the same plate on both.
He's quite well known to the local plod but doesn't get any flack because he's such a nice guy.

Rode one of my bikes every day for 3 years Inconspicuously without a Warrant and Rego and didn't get caught. I think the fine is around $200 for that and after 3 years I was way ahead with the fine being cheaper than the Rego.

Just wait untill some bright spark decides to do the same with regos as they do with road user tax. Back date it to when the vehicle was last registed!!!!!

I got caught riding a new bike with my old bike's rego plate on it. I bought it a couple of days or so before xmas and the Post Office was closed, so I couldn't register it. Randomly stopped by cops looking out for drunk drivers.

He checked up and found that I had the wrong rego plate on. I explained that everything was shut so I couldn't register it, but couldn't resist riding it.

After a little bit of a wind up at my expense he let me go scot free. This was "Gunner" from Pram. He knew me fairly well also from previous 'encounters' and work contacts.

They do. Unless the rego's on hold, when you reregister, it will be abckdated until the last time it was registered.

[Divot]

Leave it too long and you will have to have it re VINed.

I had the Rego on Hold..!

Im thinking odoing the same thing with a frame I just brought. I'm putting all the parts from the old bandit onto the frame however the frame is a 1997 so I was going to swap the VIN plates over to reg it back as a 2000.
