As a rider of over 35 years constantly on the road ,NO ACC claims and over 28 years on 750cc machines I stand to be taxed out of existence by these bungling bureaucrats. Has anyone given thought to the amount of casualties that a single car driver can cause in one collision. We regularly see wreckage on the news with a number of casualties in one vehicle,do these drivers pay a multiple fee for the other injuries they cause. See how the ACC plays the blame game for motorcyclists,but says that their system does not blame anyone for accidents,yeah right! I would agree the some guys returning to bikes later in life have got bikes that overpower them,(a 20 year riding gap needs re-training guys),as do numerous ladies I have seen on huge cruisers,these people need to be more realistic if they are to survive and not put up our insurance levies. Maybe we need an opt-out to our own insurance scheme.I am sure with enough members we could do it at resonable cost, it would weed out the re-offenders too!(like motor-cross) Perhaps one way is for everyone to put their bike on the reconstruction list when it next needs re-registering.
