    Fair Go would not like my motorcycle that gets a WOF each year.

    Modified suspension, modified exhaust, modified footrest mounts ....... no certification. Bikes are good.

    My local WOF guy has a footrest and wheelbearing thing. Likes to ride around the building with no helmet testing the brakes....apart from the Norton, he wont ride that.

    ...prices rise...some other body or bodies have vested interests in making that happen...it's a long time since a crate of Bavarian stubbies was $2.99 and a tank of gas cost $10.00, an oz was $25 and a policeman wasn't there to make money for the govt...those days are long gone...get over it...a lot of you have given up your right to moan by not voting for the least vile of the shitheap or on the other hand voted in the cunts that now unquestionably have the nations goodwill at heart, as they condone the new order...

    Yeah, we should give the government more control over these matters - back when the price of a WoF was set by the government nobody dared complain about the price of a WoF...too bad if you made a loss doing them. Actually it was pretty good, when a WoF was $5 and the charge out rate was $20, I'd line them up and fire 4 through in half an hour.

    Fair Go was bullshit - the mirror was a non issue, the oil mist on the rack is not a powersteering leak...I think the only thing that was a definite fail was the brake hose.

    Surely for a lot of places the WOF test is just a way of finding work to do....

    He says daft things like " the gears are on the wrong side and upside down" then asks me if the brakes work " I got here didn't I"
    He would not be able to start it anyway

    Good point, my 'discount' rego nest egg will cover the paltry raises in wof costs, and then some :P

    Bastards!
    Great option...just a shame that some of us live in heavily policed cities tho.

    I rode into a WOF/REGO check point the other week...Honestly thought an armed gunman was loose in my street!...big cop truck, three cars, Half dozen officers, and the same at the other end of the street!!...even said to the officer..."over kill much?...only thing your missing is the Armed Defenders squad!!" (I honestly got such a shock at the MASSIVE police presence, I was tempted to blow right past the cop and check on my family!...yeah!, THAT would have gone down well!)

    On a good note, the nice officer gave me diversion for my rego being out by nearly 2months (Got off paying the fine after going to station, then posting the usual crap away to be processed )

    Not having REGO/WOF is simply no longer an option to most...the new ANPR cameras will definitely see to that! (Witnessed a popo in the servo on sunday "training" his new ANPR unit...while watching me bake in full leathers helping a lady fix her flat pram tyre's...why?...because someone has to give you ugly bastards a good name )

    When Life thows me a curve
    ...I lean into it!
