so basically
how do i go about getting this bike into my name?

ltsa says....

Step 1

Take the vehicle to a TSD agent with proof that it has been previously registered in New Zealand and that you’re the person entitled to reregister the vehicle.
The proof of previous registration can be old registration papers or documentation that verifies the vehicle’s VIN or chassis number. For instance, registration plates and a warrant of fitness checksheet, or registration plates and insurance policy documents that show the VIN or chassis number.
The TSD agent will need to be satisfied that these documents demonstrate that the vehicle, when originally registered, was designed and constructed according to the requirements applying at that time. For example, vehicles manufactured before 1991 don’t need to meet as many vehicle standards.
Step 2

The TSD agent will inspect the vehicle, attach a VIN to it if necessary, and issue a Record of Certification for compliance with registration requirements. The TSD agent will charge a fee for the vehicle inspection and certification. Information about the vehicle will be added to the Motor Vehicle Register.
Step 3

The vehicle will qualify for a warrant of fitness from the date it passes the TSD agent’s inspection.
Step 4

The TSD agent can reregister and license the vehicle for you so that you can legally drive it on the road. The reregistration and licensing fee includes the cost of the new registration plates and the necessary licence labels. The vehicle can be reregistered immediately by the TSD agent or within the period for which the Record of Certification is valid.
Step 5

Your vehicle may be driven on the road when it has its new registration plates, licence label, warrant of fitness label and (if applicable) RUC licence attached.


as step one says i need documentation showing that model bike and i assume...that it's actually mine?,yes the wrecker can give me a receipt, but is that enough proof...and if i show them the vir saying they dunno who the old owner is...and that i have a receipt from the wrecker i bought it off, is that enough proof to allow me a revin ...yes it is still a complete bike.

i want to get this bike back on the road but i'm at a loss

put simply

help!

Cheers: a very concerned SM

In the words of the old guy from Blazing Saddles: "Son, you're on your own"

It's a bloody 'mare, I'll have another look in the clear hard light of day and see if I can help.

[rwh]

Any chance you can contact Damian Hooper and work forward?
Probably a bit of a stretch though ...

as far as i have been told by the wreckers the new owner did not give any details when he bought it as he moved and didn't want ltsa or anybody i think for that matter...finding him.

no idea why.

[Grub]

From reading the LTSA information, isn't it easy? The TSD Agent wants proof of the bike's details and history, you have that in the VIR Report.

Why not just go to the Agent and ask them?????

[skidMark]

but how do i prove that i own it when current registered owner is persons unknown? how do i put that into my name

[bungbung]

Because it's been deregistered, they don't care who the last registered owner is. It may have passed through several other sets of hands, it doesn't really matter. As long as it has been reg'd in NZ and hasn't been reported stolen you'll be listed as the new owner.

I did this with about a month ago.

but how do i prove that i own it when current registered owner is persons unknown? how do i put that into my name

You have proof in that you should have a bill of sale from the wreckers. This with the police report saying it is of no interest should be enough. You also have a history of the bike as well.

Bikes and cars do get lapses in registration, left in garages or at wreckers and sold on. This is all that has happened to your bike.

I went through this process with my current bike. No VIN and no WOF. It took a trip to the police station to get the poice to say there is no interest and then over the road in Wairau Park to the place next to the AA testing station to get my VIN. I think I got the WOF first, can't remember it was a while ago. The process was straight forward, the only one freaking out about it and being nervous was me. All the people I dealt with were super helpful and some even helped out by tweaking one or two bits on the bike.

Good luck.

Take it to AA in Glenfeild --Get a receipt from the wrecker and keep a copy of the stuff you just printed out.
They will tell you if you need a brake cert --If ya do give Alex a yell He can do one if you do.
Wait a couple of days and you'll have your compliance and ya WOF
Check all ya lenses have compliance marks on em,the tyres are all legal.No leaking fork seals -ends areon brake n clutch levers --other wise no compliance.

[skidMark]

thanks for that guys,

also, for brake cert does anybody know how much meat the discs have gotta have,

if i need new discs that will be expensive

[FROSTY:Me]

read the min thickness numbers on the disks -its clearly stamped

[johnnyflash]

Another point you may be able to use if all else fails is to go to a JP (justice of the Peace) and fill at a sworn statement saying that you are the legal owner, he will witness it and LTSA or Compliance agent will have to accept it, you wll ofcourse need to ensure it has a engine/chassis number attached to relevant items and that it meets current LTSA standards... then just proceed normally.. get it approved by Compliance Centre and rego's & warranted...

[johnnyflash]

PS... you will need to take Proof OF Identity, ie photo id/licence etc) along to a JP, the JP services are free btw... and are dotted all over the city..
