Club Plates

My other 'bike is a 1973 CB 350 twin Honda. I only ride it once a
month or so and the damn $ 350 rego is due in a few days.

I was thinking of going on to the Club rego scheme. CB 350's are a bit
boring for long rides and it seldom goes far out of city limits.
What's the pros and cons of Club plates ? I assume if I can find a
venue for a motorcycle event around Melb. then I can ride around the
'burbs that day ?

Thanx -.- amgine

 

The club you are should be able to provide you with the info you require,
the states are not all the same but in NSW its roughly this:
-Cheaper rego,
-Roadworthy Inspections done by club registrar, not by a rego inspector
-Bikes should be substantially standard to be passed for rego (it's a means
of keeping older "classics" on the road, not just for cheap rego) (In a car
club that I know of, I know of one member who had his 1930s Chev fail its
club rego inspection as he had fitted LPG)
-Use is limited to club events and for servicing tuning requirements (all
use is logged by the club registrar), you cant just use it when you like.

a link to the ducati club

will give you bit of an idea

need to find your club and ask them their policies

The statndards listed on the Ducati Club site are not Ducati Club standards,
they are set by the RTA in NSW and apply to any club running a historic
plate scheme for their members. They have no choice in the conditions.
Vehicles on Historic Plates are not meant to be used daily as a regular
vehicle, if thats what you want you get full rego.

Different states may have slightly different conditions though. I hear that
SA and the ACT have a much freer log book scheme where you can use the
vehicle for a given number of days (all of which must be recorded in a log),
doesn't have to be for club events only.
