Problems re-registering

[bungbung]

WTF are on u about??? can I see your cert. for posting complete dribble?


the only thing you should be telling a monkey is where the peanuts are.


You gullible lot can go paying for repair certs if ya want. Be my guest.

As I said, this is my experience trying to get a write-off back on the road.

The local cert guy has been to the shop that assessed the original damage and has viewed the report. Your experience obviously differs.

This is the third bike I've had re-registered, and this one has been a lot of trouble. I understand the rules have changed recently with regard to repair certs.

The bikes I have got back on the road after they have been de-registered I have done the following:

1. Fixed up so all work and is OK for WOF. Where she is post 1990 and have discs she needs a cretificate stating that the brakes are OK, cost about $100.
2. Got a written statement from Police (form from VTNZ) saying that she is sweet and they have no claims on her.
3. Booked a time at VTNZ to get her back in the system.
4. Turned up on the day with a tidy bike
5. Paid my fees ($200 odd) and been given my new number plate and the WOF.
6. Paid the Rego for minimum of 5 months.
7 And away I go.

Never has anyone asked if she has been in a crash, and I have certanly NOT told them!!!

If they've been deregistered they can be flagged as accident damaged in the LTSA database. I think the rules changed about 18 months ago regarding repair certs and what-not.

U might be right. The bikes I have gotten my hands on are normally older ones that have been out of the system for a few years. In some cases even if she has a plate on her they can not find her in the system at all.

Yes. a while ago (couple years ?) they tightened up on vehicles that have been written off specifically as a result of a crash. Basically assume the chassis/frame is bent etc, until you prove it isn't. Not really aimed at bikes but we get caught up as usual. Doesn't apply to deregistered just cos someone didn't renew it cases.

Oh god...

Not good news. Alex came over today and checked out the bike. It's not straight. It's bent. FUCK!!!

I have a gay motorcycle!!!

Both the wheels were parallel to the ground, however the wheels were not in line with each other, which sucks hard.

His diagnosis is that the swingarms were out of place by 7mm... 7mm? FUCK

Not in a good mood, not angry, just sad. That my baby won't be on the road for some time.
