with the folder because it keeps slipping down over one of my numbers, slightly obscurring the plate.

Imagine that happening on two bikes. Wonder how we get away with it

does anyone know what is required by law on this matter?

Well when ever i get one i will either have it in its holder thingy on the backside of my number plate or in my wallet wich ever will be safer.

I've had both an entire number plate and WoFs nicked at various times, so I used to keep the WoF under the seat. However for my current bike the WoF is in a plastic holder completely behind the number plate. That way it's hard to break off, but is still visible if a cop wants to see it. The registration sticker (interesting we still call them that) is taped onto the rear mudguard with waterproof clear adhesive tape.

the wofs behind the number plare and the rego is in a holder on the frame - but they have both run out -

oops

My WOF expires 6 days before I can get my restricted, and I haven't got the money for it and the bike isn't in good shape and is unlikely to get it anyway

There should be multiple options!!!

On my beemer I have 3 (2 are current)

The origional one was under the seat, but the dude in the bike shop could not find it so he stuck one behind the wind sheild.

After 2 * $200 parking tickets I went back to the shop and asked the dude at the counter to put a new one in the holder. after about 15 mins and a bit of toing and froing it was done... took a bit long me thought, then they want ed to charge me... wot i said... then realised theat I now had a new holder on the number plate about 3" away from the original. I told them not to be silly and they agreed.

So now I have three, and I am happy.

Used to get away with behind the numberplate or under the seat - even with the police - but that was before the various city/regional councils got even more greedy than usual and started exploring the revenue gathering potential to be had in vehicle reg and WOF checks.

These days you've pretty much got to have everything bolted to the back of the bike and a few animated neon arrows pointing at them lest you return to find a couple of $200 fines plastered on your bike because a cursory glance from 25 metres away did not detect any WOF or Rego.

Though I shouldn't complain; if the council cut back the revenue gathering they wouldn't be able to afford to put rat poison in our water supply, forcing people to rely on getting it from their toothpaste.

My interpretation of the law is that behind the number plate is legal provided it can be readily seen . Law just says "in the vicinity". I think windscreen is legal too, after all that's where cages have them.

**scumdog** · 30th May 2005, 10:37

REGO: in one of those plastic thingies bolted to the bottom of the frame behind the front wheel.

WOF: in the small bag thing that hangs below the headlight (de riguer item on H-Ds)

It does depend on the eyesight of the parking warden...
If you have wof and reg then don't pay just point out the facts.
The stupid thing is that you have to prove it then they will check it against the computer anyway. however an email to nzcustomer.service@tenixsolutions.com will be ok
