No rego, no ACC cover!

[JimO]

No, no you don't. http://www.ltsa.govt.nz/certifiers/v...ml#motorcycles

You do need a live WOF to get a rego though. And the fine is $200 not $250

my mistake i ment you need a wof to get a reg, not other way round

Well you know something, I can see a time in the not too distant future that a large number of motorcycles on the roads in NZ will not be displaying current registration stickers.

It is only an offense to not display one, the cost of that pitiful as opposed to the "new" registration costs that have been bandied about today.

Insurance will not be an issue if the only problem was your rego is not current, keep your bike up to WOF standard so there can be no questions about saftey you should be sweet. I dont know of any insurance policy that specifically states you MUST have current Rego in order to be covered.

Only problem...let is lapse and your bike is dereg'd. Thus no longer able to get warrants etc. and thus no insurance. Much tho I would LOVE to use your approach!

Not if you put the registration on hold

Race bikes on the road are looking more and more attractive.

Hit out against something big that the government cherishes I.E. Rugby World Cup!

Threaten to disrupt the traffic during that event and start demonstrating how, now!

Motorcyclists Unite, now!

Put the rego on hold, problem solved

I like your thinking!!

I don't think they will issue a warrant for an unregistered bike and vise versa.
I forecast lots of motorcycle shops closing down and the increases collected
in ACC premiums will be offset by paying the dole to motorcycle shop management and staff.

Yes they can issue a wof for an un-rego veh. The only catch is that you must have a current wof to get rego, not vice versa.

I will probably be riding without rego if it goes up as much as they are talking about.
I pay ACC levys on 4 vehicles at the moment and can only drive one a time.
This all sucks arse.

Dead right! The vehicle doesn't recieve any ACC compensation so why does the vehicle have to pay. I've always said it should be the driver that pays the levy with their licence fees.

No, you need a WOF to re-licence (what you call register) your vehicle, therefore you can get a wof without a current registration

[twotyred]

you can bet they will quadruple the fine for no rego so that it is more than the cost of rego once they realise that that will be the outcome...

[Usarka]

But if ACC won't pay, the emergency services and WINS do.

For most folk there's a big difference between $180/wk WINZ vs 80% of wage under ACC comp.

Speeding = no ACC cover?

Sadly, you do need a live rego to get a warrant. However, a rego remains live, even if unpaid, for two years. During that time you can get a warrant. But after that you have to reregister the bike/vehicle/trailer, etc.
