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.

Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
