if I wanted another bike....

I commute daily and do a tank of fuel every fortnight so I'd be paying
about $550 a year for petrol just riding to work.
Match that to nearly $500 for rego/3rd party and I'm almost there for
just ONE bike!

(The petrol gives me a much bigger erection though.)

 

Eh? "Club Plates" in Qld? Tell me more.

 

Oops. I doubled that up. total cost is actually $35.50 per annum,
including Rego $0, Insurance $17.70, Stamp duty on Insurance $1.75,
recording fee of $16.20.

My last red plate cost me $108 in Vicetoria

 

I know of plenty who would do this as both bikes are made by the same
factory
and all you would have on the log book as:
Make of vehicle : Ariel

I am talking of 50, 75, year old bikes and older
Not a 1976 Honda 750/4

Don't know which club you are in, only that you said you were in a club and
about to be red plated

 

They are the red ones with

1234 H

 

I remember one night when I was riding my old girl as hard as she could take
it and I almost screwed her nipples off

 

Time to trade in that 1940's metal woman that you stole from the world
fair for a modern blow up doll George!

Actually, George, the context was that Zebee was referring to my Z50.

I know that many of the pukka Historic Club people would refuse my wee
Honda for registration as it has been very heavily modified.... most
obvious, that stirs up the historic folk, is disc front brake replacing
drum.

Other non-standard items include front forks, swing arm, fuel tank,
lights, etc. etc.

From memory, the only remaining standard 1980 bits on the bike are the
frame, handle bars, and the bottom end engine casings.

I don't know how strict the local U.C. inspector is...... he doesn't
answer e-mails and I am not that worried that I'd go to a U.C. meeting
<shudder> to catch up with him.

Since it is in current full rego, and the hysteric plate business would
only save about 50 or 60 bucks.... <shrug> I don't really care.

There is a large number of modified Z1's and Z900's in the Z owners club
as well.

It would be a shame if only stock bikes are de facto eligible for
historic rego...

G-S

 

Nope, never look at either - do surprise me !

Myeegh - no one can be slow on a KR1 unless you're completely
stationary ! That's one reason they were so popular ;-)

Only offered it to you cheap in the interests of "going to a good
home"

Special interest vehicle scheme guide

A registration concession has been provided to veteran and vintage vehicle
owners since the fifties.

The concession was extended in the late seventies to also accommodate
"classic historic" vehicles, that

is, those built at least 30 years ago. Street rods with a body and frame
built prior to 1949, or replicas

with a modification plate, were accepted into the scheme sometime later
along with historic retired

ambulances and fire-fighting equipment. The veteran, vintage, classic and
historic concession was

reviewed in 1998 and has since been referred to as the Special Interest
Vehicle (Registration

Concession) Scheme.

Thanks very much Boxer.

 

None left Geoff
I was told you bought them all

 

Maybe a blow up sheep is down your path then, UnZud export them I'm told.

I would not know, best ask some sheep lover

 

Kawasaki Versys. Fun bike, commutes well. Bloke in the US does a cheap
lowering kit.

 

In what way does your suggestion meet the specification? The Versys is
210kg, 845mm seat height and 47kW / 61 N-m. It may be fun, as you say,
but it's hardly small and light. And it's around $11,000 new, whereas
Zebee's original spec was $6,000 - $8,000 - of course, that might have
been a second-hand price.

 

i thought the KR1 had a habbit of being completely stationary apart
from trees that is

and besides the fact if it was on club plates you would be restricted
as to when and where you could ride it
