Yeah noticed that too, didn't need to in Legacy sub-forum.

I think that the acc levy should be included as a petrol tax..

The theory is that if you use a lot of fuel you expose yourself to more risk of needing to make an acc claim..

The new system makes no distinction between 500 and 50000 kilometers travelled per year..

$373.40 a year for ours. I guess it is still cheaper all up. Also probably a lot cheaper and more convenient than de-reg'ing the coupe and maintaining a car trailer.

If ACC was at the pump, wouldn't you lose the occupant protection discount mechanism? It would also make motorbikes super cheap; currently we are lead to believe they are one of the forms of transport most likely to mangle you into state reliance.

what they dont mention is possibly the majority of Motorbike related claims are on farms or private use vs. public road [no actual facts to back that up but something to think about]

this has been my gripe for a long tome now as i ride both dirt bikes and road bikes, as well ad drive a car.

the ACC component of a road bike rego fee is massive, and the rational behind it is "because motorcyclists crash more and cost more in medical expenses"

However there is evidence to show that the overwhelming majority of motorcycle accident claims on ACC are from off road motorcycle accidents,

and by off road i mean, people riding un-registered motorcycles through the bush.

now its not a legal requirement to register an off road motorcycle. im not complaining about that at all.

but how is it fair then to say that the money to pay for these accidents (that happen in the bush, and involve motorcycles that have never been registered so dont contribute to ACC at all) should come from those who are registered? ie road bikers?
