I was reading through the club reg info

And I'm curious as to who I see to do a

vass? Vehicle assesment signatory scheme

And what's involved with the sign off?

Anyone else club registered there highly modified

Cars lately??

Make sure you get it done if your going club reg.

I have a Hwy patrol mate/regular customer who talked me out of getting club rego.

Apparently their squad pick on them and view it as a reason to pull it over and go over it, looking for something out of place due to club regos being abused by some with modded cars.

He told me to leave mine on normal rego as they had less reason to suspect something, as long as it looks in line from the outside they wont have a reason to pick on it if im driving normally.

so if you car is modified and club rego now..

you still need a full RWC and a engineers certs for any mods.

however unlike regular rego you now get a "M" club rego plate which lets every cop on the road know your car is modified.

When i asked the Hwy patrol mate, it was a week before the new scheme was starting, i was looking to jump on the bandwagon and take advantage of the old system slackness.

Even he personally had a car on club rego (old system), in his case he only took it out a few times a year so he took advantage of the cheap rego.

He told me the new system changes not much in their eyes last i spoke to him (lately), its still club rego or a mod plate, either way its a plate that they see as "not normal", like waving a red flag at a bull, or baiting a shark.

I always have a laugh when he comes over, GTR is parked in the corner, PC Desk top screen is of a identical looking GTR launching at the drags, last time he was over he had this look like he was going to pull out his gun and start firing at the PC monitor. :)

He tells me they have one or two particular Hwy patrol officers at their branch who specialize in Skylines, they went out of their way to know them like the back of their hands, can spot a mod from a mile away. (so he says)

One thing for sure is they certainly don't like them, especially in young hands.

But then their effortless research leads them to fall in love with skylines...

      I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless

      Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.

      As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1
