well you be careful with that new tyre

im glad it got through the mot ,but i no the whole mot system is down at swansea cos my mate has had problems all week and so has the whole of the mot buisness cos the whole lot crashed

to all bikers get the mot done if it needs it ,cos my mate is booked now till the beginning of june ,and the amount of phone calls he is getting and people expect just to walk in and get one done and they get really

when he says he is booked up

Assuming MOT is like our wof (warrent of fitness) ours are annualy for vehicles up to 5 yrs, 6 monthly after that. Got mine on wed last week, flew thru, but i put new brake pads on this weekend anyway. Its a good feeling when an independent person checks your vehicle and finds nothing wrong, however the $34 ask for the pleasure is getting steep.

Gees. We (in Queensland) just have what's called a road worthy certificate (RWC), and you only have to get one when you transfer ownership of a registered vehicle. We pay registration (about $380 for the Storm) annually, to legally take a vehicle on the road & that's it. Insurance isn't compulsory, although most people have it (I think). It's about the same price as rego for me (33, driving since 18, riding since 21, no accidents/claims).

We have rego as well, annually about $250. Insurance is up to you, Ive got 3rd party, cause I couldnt stump up with the $700- $1000 ask for a years ins.
3rd party cost $30. if i crash im covered for damage caused to another party, but damage to me is my problem. Not a good state of affairs but im on the road.

Our rego includes 3rd party personal, but not property. It's heaps more than $30 though... From memory, it's about 2/3 the rego cost!

Ages since I heard the terms Rego and WOF.
I couldn't believe it when I went out to NZ, I bought myself a GSX750 Suzuki and phoned the local broker and asked for a quote for minimum legal cover

"There is no minimum requirement sir"

Fantastic! bought a new set of tyres instead.
