Well, it's a contrast in G/S insurance, we were talking about. I admit I am in favour of the NSW "weight tax" element creeping into the registration cost of cars. If some one is stupid enough to pay $130,000 for a tricked up, and very fast Commodore, they might as well pay triple or quadruple Green Slip rates, and registration, too. > Which brings me to the question > If a motorcycle takes up only one tenth of the road space and is more road > friendly, such as weight on the road, > why does the motorcyclist have to pay as much, or even more, than a car > owner? The powers that be, see motorcyclists as a minority that can easily be picked on. They also know that the vast majority drive cars, and quite a few of that majority are total wankers that need, for the sake of their egos, to drive very powerful fast cars with very large engines. Help make me commissar for road transport and I'll bloody soon fix that! regards, CrazyCam
