I am just glad my rego was due 29/6 :) Yeah, mine was mid May! The Mighty Scooter is due in October. Dunno how much damage a 180c scooter can do to a 3rd party, even a hotted up one, but it will be costing me almost as much as the Norge did in May. Back to this damn levy which is blame the victim if anything is. Trouble is that changing the central problem - 80 years of cultural acceptance of the private car as sacred and the centre of all transport policy - is not going to be easy. If car owners and drivers had to pay the real cost of their vehicle then a hell of a lot of things would change but they don't. And won't in a democracy. Zebee
