Should be compulsory...

We're paying for it too but in different name, it's called TAC.

Essentially all the TAC money is going into the commericals they make...

So really bikes are pretty similar on rego, huh?

How's insurance? Same as cars? U25's still shafted?

Much the same as car insurance, with faster and more expensive bikes attracting higher premiums like imports and prestige. My R1 is on par with my Skyline - both have similar market values.

Third party is only around $150 though.

Yes, a lot of people go third party. Just as many opt for no insurance at all.

Running costs, maintenance and repairs, initial purchase capital, resale value, tolls - all financial advantages over cars.

Got pulled over tonight.. just licence check and breath test, the officer ended with "sorry to bother you"

Aaron, has reading this post made you angry?

Not really, that's all that really happened with me

They actually pay out crash victims quite a lot also give funding to police which is part of the reason they do so many breathe tests per year to meet the quoter set, something like that a cop was explaining to me

Really, no insurance? Seems at least third party (fire and theft) would be worth it since bikes seem so theft-able? *picks up* *loads into truck*

Especially with such good weather out, really makes me wish I had one :P.

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
