Rego costs ridiculous

[YellowDog]

Ahahahahaahahaha....

Hands up who rolled (or went through a fence, or took out a lamp post, or jumped high enough to grind the undercarriage) a 1.3L Ford Escort (or the equivalent underpowered $500 piece of shite) in their youth?


Wow, that's a lot of hands

And, those of you that didn't... what did you do when you had a slow piece of shit $500 car? Make it louder or paint it something ugly to draw attention? Really? Most of you... goodness!

Finally.... does the UK have compulsory insurance? And do they have a problem with Chavs in riced up Novas? If the answers are yes, then Chewbacca must live on Endor, and you must acquit...

Nice of you to leave the Jeremy Kyle show to give your view.

So following your line of thinking; compulsory insurance = a significance increase in teenage pregnancies

Yes I had a Mini 1000. I put a stage 3 head on it, upated the shocks and brakes. Great little car. Did loads of stupid things in it, including all four wheel off the ground as often as possible. That's what kids do. My point is that a Mini 1000 (or GM Corsa) is likely to do far less harm than a V8.

I doubt that NZ will ever be as bad as the UK. Let's hope not

That would have been some of the more sensible shit I did

Methinks those on here in support of - or not against - the rego costs are probably government 'plants'. Planted on here to rile us up into divide and rule. Tell me it ain't so.

I'll never rego my bike for twelve months at a time ever ever ever again, the snakes can go fuck themselves, may get 3 months worth for summer period and that's fucken it. Will be riding all year round and will just deliberately avoid traffic cops and anywhere they might be. Have been doing it for the last few months and don't intend to change.. it's not like it's convenient, and it's all a PITA , but tough bikkies, it's what's been forced by the weasels in charge.

All the blah blah from the prim-faced trying to justify these bullshit charges towards motorbikes, The way these slimy politician cunts handled and diddled the huge ACC slush-fund over the years is plain fucken criminal. All we're doing now is paying for the mismanagement and the greed and the fraud of previous snake ministers and governmental shit-heads.

Any weirdos claiming the rego charges are a good thing are just simpering sycophants feeding the fat greasy National Party rich who run and rape this country in one. The fuckers are screwing you. If you want to pay your five hundy plus then good on you, don't expect applause in a hurry and at least have the guts to admit that Nick Dogshit Smith and co.. are actually shitting down your throats not stroking your genitals like you think they are

As much as I would love to think I am a government plant (and it sounds super secret and stuff) uh.... no

I'll be on any ride I can to help protest, but there has never been any contemplation about putting rego on hold etc. One bike does about 15k a year, the other 30k a year, year round...

Costs me just over $1 per day to legally have my bike on the road.

Then you would be oh so wrong.

[nodrog:Me]

Costs me just over 1c per day to legally have my bike on the road.

for how many days?

[oldrider]

Rego costs are expensive but not 'ridiculous'. If you love riding your bike, then what's a couple of hundred extra dollars a year? If nothing else, this trend, as well as the numbers of bikes bigger than 600cc being given away on Trade Me, shows how fickle and fearfully frugal itinerant users of motorcycles are.

Well, that's all very well if you have a steady commensurate income but not so good when you are dependant on inflation eroded savings!

[DEATH_INC.]

It could be worse. Look at rego/insurance costs in other countries.
And like I've said before, everytime I've slid down the road on my arse and had a ride in the big white van to the big building with all the nurses in it, that $580 odd seems like fuck all.....

[YellowDog]

Then you would be oh so wrong.

[cynna]

How on earth do you manage that? Did you register the Honda as a hearse or something?

No that idea was rejected...

Still cheaper than a little Rewandan kid cos' they've gone up in price..
