    2 Bikes, 1 Rider = 1 Rego?

    Does anyone else think this makes sense?

    Most of the cost of a rego is the ACC levy, and you're only using one bike at a time, so the risk is the same whether you have 1 or 20 bikes!

    So why is it that we have to pay the ACC component of the registration for each different bike/vehicle we have??

    2 bikes (similar) 1 rego = sell one (no = saving) but do ya wanna buy one off me so i can really pretend i'm a young racer and buy a race bike ?
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    its called revenue, and it covers all registered vehicles, we have 3 bikes and a 2 cars and a truck but pay for all, levies included, guess that is a privelage for wanting more than one form of transportation at a time.

    You are right. But this has all been talked about before. I doubt anyone can pull it off with the gubmint. Prove us wrong..

    I know 2 very rich people who have over 70 bikes each and they have yellow dealer or repairer plates, so I rang the LTSA and asked what would be needed to get one, and they told me to get fucked

    Easiest thing is have no ACC levy in rego, just increase the levy on Petrol. Big 4x4 = big petrol bill. Only pay for what you use.

    Okay then, in the spirit of the Ben and Bill party, I'll register a new party for the next elections... 1 Rego per driver / rider party. Anyone wants to join me as potential list MPs?

    If you have a significant collection of bikes, it makes sense to set up a company (or trustee company) to own and manage your bike collection.

    Getting a trade plate is pretty easy but you need to be able to demonstrate a good reason why you need one. Managing a transport museum is a legitimate reason.

    There's more info on the following factsheet:

    Doesn't work.

    I've occasionally lent the second bike to people in need.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
