this way I feel i am paying my share AND quietly screwing ACC at the same time.
If i get stopped,

I will pay the fine! ...simple as that!
-I WILL NOT!! give nick and his arse nibbling mates the full amount they demand for less cover!

Thank you all for your ideas and great feedback

Ride safe everyone

...cos there panel damage...could be our life! \

Doing pretty much same thing but if i dont get any fines over winter...i wont even take it off hold for summer, i would rather pay off the fine at $10 a week to a general cop fund than money going upfront to ACC (and i hate pigs with all my guts...so i guess it says something about ACC).

Fuck we are all paying more than enough to ACC from our salaries...and they wont even cover what my $18 a month medical insurance does...

Dental and eyesight related stuff (like i even get contacts subsidised) to be fair i only pay $18 a month but another part is subsidised by employer but stil....considering how much we pay from our wages, vehicle regos etc... its bullshit.

$18 per month in insurance is really really cheap. But like you, I also have medical insurance - another important thiing for me too

I guess it can be cheap because they dont have to pay 80% of your wages while you are recovering at home from your sunday rugby related accident....

But yeah regarding private insurance, once i get bit older i might up the coverage a bit...so far i didnt have many health problems so basic cover is fine i guess...

Yeah why should it? Its designed that way because we have stupid ACC for accident related stuff...well at least you hope they will cover you in case of accident, (as long as you dont get raped, loose hearing etc.)...if we didnt have ACC private insurance would be more but would cover everything BUT it would be your choice not a forced scheme....

Should be compulsory to have insurance but there should be some competition for ACC.

Re-reg'ed today...$405.63.

BUT. I can feel all safe now, since I got rid of that evil 650 and replaced it with a 600. Given that it costs soooo much less to register a 6 hunny than a sis fiddy, I figure it MUST be safer! After all, the gummint tells me so with their charges...

(despite the fact that the 6 hunny produces 60% more power...wonder how that works..?

)

and your old one was a powerful 650, my 647 only got 43hp left, 5 less than my mates 250

mine is way cooler though. 647cc of salvation, you just have to pay extra for the experience! fuckers

Maybe Mr.Smith doesnt like V twins...and wants us all to ride six hundies.... or perhaps Mr.Smith has never seen actual motorcycle in a real life???

But i feel safest on my thou with no rego

I own 2 bikes in the 600cc+ category....and a Deseasil 4wd....so I'm good and fucked. The real worst thing is I have a company vehicle to drive, so even the 4wd gets used fuck all. $1600+ a year for prolly less than 5000k a year between them all is hardly fair.

I had a letter from transhit about my trailer. On hold for 2 years = letter saying "re-register or surrender the plate". Just register for minimum time then back on hold for another 2 years.
