Hmmm......can anyone tell me what these safety initatives are??
$430 bucks. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrkkkk offffffffff!!!
Bikes cauase less congestion, do less damage to the roads, take less parking space and use lees fuel(assuming most people don't car pool to work). Also tend to spend a lot less time on the road.
May be they should look at a pro rata system where you pay 'X' per 5000k or somthing. It would top out once you travelled over 20,000k or something. Will never happen as the government wouldn't get as much revenue.
Safety initiatives, they would be;
- the crappy video that vicroads supllies (which should be part of the licencing process anyway)
- The beutiful speed humps and roundabouts with FUCKING trees in the middle for us to hide behind
- and then there are those fantastic wire fences on the freeways that are safer for cars but slice riders into teeny weeny little bite size pieces.
If they want to jack prices up, just do it rather that feeding us bullshit excusses.
As for safety of riders, why can't they make the minimum safety gear requirements a whole lot tougher. I don't know any sensible rider who goes out without atleast a dryrider on their top half. What good is a helmet if the head thats inside it hasn't got a bloody body to sit on? Can't back it up, but I'm pretty confident that unprotected riders make the bulk of bike accident re-hab cases.
Loosers in t'shirts and even shorts should be made to walk home.
Surely this would be cause to atleast freeze rego prices if not reduce them.
Rant over. sorry guys.
my zx7r is only $214 a year to rego as a solo seat.
