Good, nothing worse than sitting in the sun on the side of the trail being held up by someone that didnt fit heavy duty tubes stuffs everyones day. Its a pity its rooted new tubes from new bikes make great trail side spares for the puntures even heavy duty cant stop happeneing

Tb in my emotions I feel similar, in fact some days i want to say
” all newcomers piss off and stop causing all these issues” but who are we to say this, everyone has just as much right as you or I, but take emotion away and go with positive logic and I am were I am on the subject.

I actually would trailer my bike three kays, I need tools and spare fuel.

Mick they don’t call you the Mayor of Wauchope for nothing.

I never want anyone to piss off from our great sport Bruce I just want a level playing field. I created this web site after listening to people say I have no one to ride with I have no idea where to ride read the about us in the top tab. I am all for what helps this sport and put hours into helping newbies enter our sport. It costs my 348 bucks to rego my XR for a year, 247 of that is the green slip. I can live with that, wouldnt want to increase to much but nothing is for nothing in this world
I to would trailer to the start and have a fully rego’ed bike and still trailer it to all the rides on do on the XR. I also enjoy that 2km cool down section up the road to the pub at lunch or along the beach on STM’s up and coming ride.

I would rather we channelled our energy into opening new ride areas, rehabilitating our existing areas and education for riders, politicians, forestry and NWPS.

That’s the hard part to estimate, now we both know our stances on Rec rego putting that aside, what percentage of full greenslip would they stand to lose against a new market that is yet untapped?

The Vicco data may shed some light, but it is diffeicult to estimate as so many other factors will influence, like the parameters of what bikes and what they need to gain the Rec Rego in the first place, the governements advertising, etc etc

I am not even taking my feelings of Rec rego into it mate. VIC have a different rego / health cover system to NSW so there will be green slips no matter what I think we agree on that.

There has never been to my knowledge consideration taken in the pricing of a green slip to how much a person rides/drives etc in the past. They aren’t even interested as to where you drive / ride, they are interested in what, where its parked and your record. I know that motoring groups have tried to have it changed before so Joe average A who drives 10k a year is paying less then Joe average B who drives 100k a year. The argument was then the Joe average B although driving more (higher risk because he is on the road more) is a lesser risk because by the miles he does is a better driver. Then there was the argument that it should be klm based from the previous year but mileages can and will be doctored.

This thread started about people losing their riding areas due to noise. You mentioned Rec Rego and again I will stick my hand up and say I am against it as the sport has enough problems now we haven’t dealt with without opening the forests up to extra bikes. How does introducing a rego scheme where people who don’t want to jump through the hoops can register their bike and ride in a state forest where they haven’t been able to before help our current situation? Are MX bikes etc quieter then our bikes now, well I reckon no and Yes. If someone has the need or the want to ride a MXer in the bush then they should be able to obtain a special rego, again conforming to the requirements to do that, but pay their way whatever that is.
If you have rec rego Bruce are you going to trailer your bike the 3 kms to get into the bush? I think not

I am not fighting you (although it does sound like that) I am trying to be realistic is all mate

Yeah Mick thats an idea

TB you miss the point most of the claims moneys are from road rash riders, it would be very interesting to get hold of the data for claims upheld for bush riding alone, I believe it would be miniscule in comparison, ergo on a pro-rata the “greenslip” for rec rego would be along those lines , now remember there is another fund for uninsured MVA personal injury altogether which comes out of our medicare levy.
It’s easy for the insurance company TB, believe me I am on the working group of a large mutual fund and this sort of thing is not about the amount, data and analysis of trends is what the insurance industry is all about, and sometimes “colusion’ under the mantle of data acquisition but weather it will harm another section of the income stream, that’s the hard part to gauge, in toehr words they can do it, do they want to do it???

Good luck with it them wont let go of a steady income stream

The insurance will be easy to work out, the insurance industry & MAA will get some data for average distance travelled per annum for a rec rider, get it underwritten and it will be proportionate of say a full rego greenslip.

Your dreaming Bruce if you reckon that will be easy. Thats the crutch of our problem now. Rego isnt the killer the green slip is. Rego doesnt go up stuff all compared to green slip costs (pull your rego papers our and look) Rec rego WILL require a green slip / insurance cost. If they subsidise rec rego every other motoring group will come screaming with the NRMA, Vic roads, trucking groups big powerful groups and lots of them. All that to allow bikes into the forest they already dont want us in?

If it was as easy as what you have written above we would all have cheaper rego and can ride the 2kms of road to the start of the bush.

Sorry

if you ride an unregersted bike or regersted bike does that make you a better person or ride on better tracks or should we mark our single track that still won t make it legal just let more people no where it is.don t ride a road bike so avoid those.if you still have to get a green slip for rec rego it will be a wast of time rego is the cheap part

Rockets so right, NSW uses green slips, REC rego will require green slips its the system NSW uses fact 1. Rego is 100 bucks its the cheap bit really fact 2

Here you go people get your teeth into this press release I got today and go nuts

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
23 November 2010
RECREATIONAL MOTORCYCLING IS A TOURIST BOOM

The Motorcycle Council of NSW (MCC of NSW) calls upon the NSW state government to immediately introduce Recreational Registration for off-road motorcycles along the lines of the Victorian model.

The benefits of such a scheme would be massive in terms of both financial and environmental rewards. For example:

• Regional tourism and businesses would profit hugely from recreational motorcyclists visiting various rider-friendly regions.

• A new wave of contributions to the CTP Scheme from riders who ordinarily would not contribute due to the nature of their hobby.

• The environmental impacts on our precious State Forests and National Parks would be significantly reduced with designated and dedicated one-way tracks designed for riders of all abilities, thus offering riders a legal alternative to riding illegally on unmarked or unsuitable trails.

It is clear that enforcement has, and will continue to fail, so it is incumbent upon the NSW state government to act in a positive and pro-active manner in this regard.

The MCC of NSW believes education, consultation and co-operation are the keys to a sustainable and economically beneficial recreational motorcycle segment of the growing tourism market.

The Chairman of the Motorcycle Council of NSW, Rob Colligan said: “For decades authorities have used the head-in-the-sand approach to recreational motorcycling. They tried to make it just go away, but these riders did not go away. In fact, their numbers kept increasing every year. So now is the time to set up a system that engages these riders in a mature and fully consultative manner.

“Many regions of Victoria rely on the tourism dollars that flow in as a result of their towns embracing recreational riders,” Mr Colligan went on to state. “With regional economies struggling in NSW, riders would flock to areas that offered good riding, good facilities and a welcoming attitude. It’s not rocket science. Give us an affordable scheme and riders will make sure that everyone benefits.”
