Please someone tell me I am horribly mistaken and being a flippin idiot but, it looks to me like it now costs $310 to register a scooter for 12 mths FFS.

10 bucks cheaper than the rest of us!

[phaedrus01]

Thats frickin sick, when did that price hike happen?! Its more to rego a bike than a car now?

[2wheeldrifter]

Robbing fucking cunts.... sums up my thought's!

same with owning a diesel!

[dogsnbikes]

shit 12 moths ago it was $77 for a scooter

one way to price people of the road same and back into cars WTF(maybe I paint all the bikes the same colour and use the same decals)

Seems to be counter productive to all this talk of trying to minimise our carbon footprint over the next few years. Or is this the cost they were talking about?

[Aaron_newrider]

I don't remember it ever being this expensive aye - jesus christ!

[phaedrus01]

If I knew it was going to be put up so much I would have gone in there at the end of july and bought 12 mths worth. Funny how they kinda just slid that price rise in there

Dont get me wrong but I've got a theory.
Polices are inplace for a reason. Statistics.
Who has the most crashes?
Its the motorX crew binning their bikes (see bodies) all the time.
Its those statistics that ACC are using to punish us "roadies" (or whatever you wanna call it) with these $310? rego's.
That sucks.
They should just make the levy based on road crashes no?

jesus fuckin christ. 321 dollars for a motorcycle rego? why? do they just think because bikers save more on fuel that they wont mind paying extra rego?

its the same as the council recently putting up rates an extra 300 dollars a year

because you have to pay, they can do it when they please. fuck the government. sometimes i just want to resist them!! even though id never win. they tax you for the land you own for fuck sakes. i feel like not paying my rates and when they come to confiscate my land il pull a jan molenaar. FUCK

[Squiggles]

Why? Because like it or not... we're crashing, and we're costing alot of $$. So now we're paying for it. That farm bullshit doesnt fly, alot of the accidents are big bikes (500cc+).

Fwiw Transact still only wants $90 for a years worth of MOPED rego

[2wheeldrifter]

I hear you "ready4whatever" wish this was Fiji lol

This is NZ, we stand up to the goverment..... not! we are such a wimp ass country.. why?

[phaedrus01]

I just find it a bit fukn rich for that much of an increase. Wheres the AA when you need them to be b1tching and whining.

hmm. and when we dont crash as much it will come down? id love to see that

Lets have a protest! Clog the motorways like the trucks did - might need afew more bikes though?

I know, lets leave our bikes on a bridge and block it for afew hours!
