Yes, defiantly a plus. Any bike over there over 250cc has to have a bi-yearly test somewhat akin to a warrent, but much harder and much more expensive. As a result anything under 250cc are common, and anything over that don't pass the test, or their owner just doesn't bother after a few years, tend to go pretty cheap.
I did call the LTSA only to get a "we don't do exemptions for your convenience" response. I may still try (tomorrow since time is getting on) and see what happens, it's only $22. If not I'm probably just going to have to get my 6L removed completely, since my license has learners all over it, which makes it hard enough to explain to cops/rent-a-car places in English speaking countries, let alone anywhere else.
...if I could just find a NZ-Rarotonga-Japan fare I'd be set![]()
I got my bike licence in 1966, care of Glenfield MOT. By the time the so-called 'life-time' licence was introduced, I hadn't ridden for ages, so never noticed my 'Life-time' licence was bereft of my bike licence.
Latterly, I have contacted LTNZ to complain. Their answer was, essentially, 'Shit happens. So you'll just have to sit the tests again?'
I actually don't have a prob with that. In fact the time compression game, coupled to an essential need-to-know, has seen me sign up for all manner of course, from which I'm getting some good advice and knowledge.
But I live in fear some cop will nick me and then use the Boy-Racer legislation to nick my bike; like they used that legislation to nick the front-end loader from the West Coast company, a few weeks ago.
Question: To whom does one apply for exemptions?
Only 'Now' exists in reality.
